Pokemon Go Postcard Space Increases (for a fee)

     Another update that came recently to Pokemon Go is the expansion of postcard saving options. 

     In Pokemon Go, postcards are sent and received by friends at the same time as in game presents. Players collect presents from pokestops in their area and send them to friends in game who get items like pokeballs and stardust but also always an accompanying postcards from the pokestop where the present was originally received. 

     The present and postcard giving situation has led me to work harder at going to aesthetically pleasing pokestops as much as possible so I can send my friends something cute or special rather than a corporate logo, as is the pokestop icon for corporate sponsors like Family Mart and Starbucks.

A small selection of ones I've saved from all over the world.

     A few weeks ago, more people were sending presents nd saving postcards than ever before. That's because of scatterbug, a pokemon who evolves into one of a number of butterfly variations. It cannot be caught in game unless you have pinned a certain number of postcards from the same region to your postcard book, and that number changes based on how many you've already pinned from that region. The color of the eventual evolution's wings depends on the region the cards were pinned from, so having international friends is a plus.

     Finally my struggles with deleting artsy PokeStop postcards from my friends to make room so I can keep pinning for scatterbugs is at an end. For 100 in game coins, I can just pin more.
