Grinding for Badges

On Saturday, I was playing the game just after 4:00 in the morning. That’s unusual, even for a night owl like me! But I noticed something odd. Despite being the middle of the night, there seemed to be a spot where it was sunny! Look at the grass on the left side, and compare it to the grass on the right!

Sunlight in the middle of the night?Last night, I spotted Velma sitting on the town’s metal bench. She invited me to sit with her.

Velma: It's a fine day to just sit outside and relax a little bit. Why don't you join me?If it’ll get her to suggest me some public works projects, I’ll try anything.

Sitting with Velma on the bench.And then today, Sunday morning came and went without me buying any turnips (once again). I just haven’t been playing the game on Sunday mornings for several weeks.

I decided to try grinding for badges. So I did some fishing, I did some bug-catching, I checked items in the shops to see if I needed any for my catalog, and I even wrote eight letters to villagers. I also did some diving, and I caught a scallop that caught Pascal’s attention.

I got a scallop! Hey, this isn't a potato at all!Pascal asked for the scallop, and I gave it to him. In return, he gave me a keg; he also gave me these words of wisdom:

Pascal: A full stomach is more likely to let enemies become friends, but an empty stomach will do the opposite.My badge grinding for today wasn’t enough to summon Phineas, but at least I know I’m slowly making progress on many of those badges I still need.

Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Gabe from Poketown was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for stopping by!
