An Undiscovered Easter Egg

After choosing your starter Pokemon; Squirtle, Charmander, or Bulbasaur, from Professor Oak. You then proceed on into the wild where you encounter wild Pokemon. Route 1 is the first area in the game you will encounter Pokemon, which are just Pidgey and Rattatas in the original Red and Blue games.

From there you will find yourself in Viridian City, which will eventually get you to route 2. Route 2 is the home of Caterpie, Weedle, Pidgey, and Rattata until you get to Viridian's forest; you can add Metapod, Kakuna, and Pikachu to the list. These are the Pokemon that again, show up in the Red and Blue games.


After doing a short tutorial on how to catch Pokemon in Pewter City, and a quick exploration of the town, trying to get into the gym you forgot was owned by the 8th gym leader; route 3 is just east of the city.

Home to Pidgey, Spearow, and Jigglypuff, some may already see where I'm going with this. The only Pokemon we are missing so far would be Geodude, Zubat, and Clefairy.

After completing route 3; defeating all the trainers and making it to the other side so you can heal your Pokemon, you will find yourself standing with what appears to be, nowhere to go. Don't worry, though, that little black dot is to a cave, Mt. Moon.

Those missing few Pokemon can all be found here, plus Paras. I'm not sure why Niantic didn't include Paras in the same egg group, or maybe what I came across is just a mere coincidence, but I don't believe so. The odds of the developers making all these wild Pokemon in the Red and Blue games; found before and in Mt. Moon, being nothing more than luck just doesn't cut it for me.


  There is a reason I believe this to be an easter egg, only involving the Pokemon Red and Blue games. I did quite a bit of research. At first I suspected it might have been the first Pokemon Ash registered in his Pokedex. A few episodes in I noticed Ash registered a bug trainers Pinser in his Pokedex, so I went on to believe that maybe it was only wild Pokemon. 10 Pokemon into the theory, Ash Catches a Krabby, busting the theory and putting my semi-hard work to shame.

  I don't remember why I decided to research all the Pokemon that spawn in the games, Red, Blue, and Yellow, but I did. I started getting a little disappointed when I saw that Sandshrew could be caught in Mt. Moon. At the time I was just skimming the bulbapedia articles, only later to catch on that I found what I was looking for. Until Niantic confirms this, which I doubt they will see it, I'm still not 100% sure this was intended.  
If it wasn't for that one extra Pokemon, Paras. I would feel more comfortable about saying this is, in fact, an easter egg. Aside from Paras though, all the Pokemon caught up until this point are the same Pokemon we can hatch from 2km eggs. My biggest question about the 2km eggs was, why do we hatch, out of all the other Pokemon, Geodude from 2km eggs? I told myself I wouldn't stop until I found an answer and I did! The thing about Magikarp being hatching from 2km eggs is because of the amount of candies it takes to evolve.

How Ads Really Work for Bloggers

Many seem to think that bloggers are making it big for putting out useless or misleading information. Well, the truth of it all is that's not even close to what ad's really do for bloggers. Trust me, if I got paid as much as most think, I wouldn't even need to blog anymore. The articles bloggers (most bloggers) put out aren't misleading. We take the time to research and gather as much information over topics. Yes, most articles will probably be speculation but that can only go so far.

The rumor about Johto being released on the 7th is actually very likely. Once you blog, research, play multiple online games, everything will fall into place as to why most bloggers are certain this rumor is true. It is very possible, that it is merely a rumor I won't deny that either. But the facts are just there, not everyone may see these facts, but they are there.

So how much do we actually make per click? Nothing, we don't make nearly anything per click, even if we got paid for impressions. For every thousand impressions, depending on the company you will get paid, very, very little. Most bloggers (like myself) only get paid when someone actually clicks the ad.

The Pokemon- Go community is the only community, that I have seen, doesn't fully understand ads. I have 10+ blogs, each with ads. I'm making bank off it! No, no I'm not I've been blogging for about 3 years, and get on average 1000-2000 views between all my blogs per day, which isn't a lot, I'm not a famous or bigshot blogger. The threshold for my to actually get paid is 100 dollars, 3 years, I've not once gotten paid.
  • Pay per click is the most popular type of advertisement. Each advertiser pays differently and you are paid when visitors click on an ad.
  • Pay per impression pays according to the amount of times the ad is displayed on your website. This means that for every thousand times the ad is displayed, you get paid. Each advertiser pays differently but typically the amount will be small since all it takes is for someone to open your web page.
  • Pay per sale will generate the most money but it also does not happen as frequently as pay per click and pay per impression. This type of ad requires your visitor to not only click on the ad but purchase an item or sign up for a service.
