The Deni Pokémon Wrap (9/8/16)

Pokémon Go Deniliquin

Pokémon Go Deniliquin now boasts 176 members and can easily make it to 200 members in the next couple of weeks if not sooner.

Group members have reported that the Pokémon spotted through town in the last week include Wheezing, Charizard and Kangaskhan.

The Group is the #1 place to go when you want to know everything local about Pokémon Go.

Charizard gets jokes

Charizard has been the butt of jokes in the last week, Those who know what Charizard can do can figure out what the jokes have been about because we won’t repeat them because of potential offending.

Pokestops

Poke stops are Waring Gardens, Deni Clock, Library and near the Truck Stop in Deniliquin North.

Pokémon Sun and Moon

The Collectors Edition’s of Pokémon Sun and Moon are available for preorder at EB Games for $69.95 each.

Standard editions are going for $59.95 each.

Don’t forget the Z-Ring which will be released on November 18, The Z-Ring enhances the gaming experience for 2DS and 3DS users with sounds, lights and vibrations going on during attacks.

The Z-Ring is on preorder and it is for $38, The price of Crystals for the Z-Ring are $10 for a pack of three.

Other Pokémon Games

Don’t forget that a range of Pokémon games are available on Nintendo’s eShop, this includes Pokémon Yellow and those curious about Pokémon swapping will be pleased to know it can be done between DS’s compared to the old cable to cable method from the GB/GBA days.

Pokémon Shuffle is free on the DS and iPhone etc, It is a game like Candy Crush but you chose three or four of your best Pokémon and try defeat a Pokémon before you run out of moves, the earlier you finish the level the higher the percentage of catching the Pokémon.

We’ll be back next week a new edition of The Deni Pokémon Wrap.

Magpies on the swoop

It’s that time of year again when the Magpies are swooping on residents through Deniliquin.

While the temptation is around to crack a joke about the AFL side of the same name, The Magpies that are above our heads are fast becoming a nuisance and put a dampener on walkers plans of enjoying a casual stroll through town without the need to look up all the time.

Several residents have already been swooped on near South School, the Beach and other locations and there is no doubt the reports will rise over the coming weeks as those Magpies get overprotective of the around their nests.

Residents are urged to record swooping attacks on Magpie Alert in order to keep people informed where attacks are occurring so people can avoid those areas, users can make the reports as detailed as possible to ensure the best report.

DNS hopes it’s readers will be safe this Magpie swooping season.

Fire at Green Pepper Pizza Café

Green Pepper Pizza Café & Deni’s Diner caught fire in the late afternoon today with details of the fire still coming through social media tonight.

The fire is believed to have been contained to Green Pepper but smoke was inside Coles requiring the store to be closed for the rest of the day.

Emergency Services responded quickly by sending several fire trucks, ambulances and police vehicles to the scene.

Nearby business the Scoop & Brew has been praised for assisting employees of the shops and their shoppers during the chaos proving once again that businesses come to the aid of others when support is needed.

The store owner/manager has posted in the Deniliquin Thumbs Up & Thumbs Down group expressing his thanks to emergency services and to the helpers as well as telling everyone the feelings that are being felt at this time but the good news is that he and the staff aim to bounce back from what has happened.

HCF is closing real soon

Deniliquin’s HCF branch will be closing in just under a week (3pm on Thursday August 11) and residents are still unhappy with the decision by HCF to leave the town.

Google already has the HCF branch marked as permanently closed which is a little premature especially for those who want to stay get their claims sorted in the next week.

The HCF office doesn’t just benefit Deniliquin residents, It benefits those in nearby towns as the nearest office is hundreds of kilometres away and so they need the HCF branch to stay open too.

Filling in forms online may be considered the most efficient way to go for businesses but  it is easy for customers to become flustered when they don’t know how to use a computer or they get stuck on a section and there is nobody to see to help them through it.

The service that the branch staff provides in getting people through the above gives customers the assistance they need and give the customer the assurance and comfort that everything is filled in correctly.

When August 11 comes around and HCF isn’t swayed to stay, Some may feel that it’s all over red rover but as it has been seen many times before a business that departs can always be a business that returns later on so don’t give up on trying.

Some may think Rural people complain too much about the lack of services but humanity is making it’s way towards the age of equality and that equality must extend to the country areas having the services that those in the suburban areas of our nation enjoy.

Thoughts on Updates

The new updates to Pokémon Go have not been well received by local gamers and the majority of gamers from around the world, the backlash has been very strong and should result in positive changes sooner rather than later.

To The Limit

Gamers are playing Pokémon to the limit with screenshots showing gamers catching Pokémon with low amounts of battery power left in their phone (one example shown 2%), There is no doubt that businesses wish they could charge players money for them to recharge phones in their stores as it would be a great money spinner.

On the other hand, A smart business could mention phone charging whilst enticing passers by with mentions of food or drink et.

Pokémon Caught

Aerodactyl and Scyther are two of the Pokémon recently caught in Deniliquin, they are welcome additions to anyone’s list.


That is all we have for this edition of ‘The Deni Pokémon Wrap’ we hope you enjoyed this edition and we will be back with more local Pokémon news next week’.
