Pokémon Go is 10! Can you believe it? Alongside some 10th anniversary features, I wanted to announce some new perks for paying subscribers, and the site's first ever sale, to celebrate.
25% off subscriptions for the next week
Until the end of Monday, 13th July, annual subscriptions are 25% off in both the Good Supporter and Great Supporter tiers, granting you access to paid posts and commenting privileges, and for Great Supporters, ad-free browsing and a bonus quarterly blog.
Here's sale links for each tier:
- 25% Good Supporter discount (£10 / ~$13 off a year) off a year)
- 25% Great Supporter discount (£16.25 / ~$21.75 off a year)
This is the site's first sale since launching in February, and is timed perfectly if you're getting into Pokémon Go off the back of the 10th anniversary, and / or if you want to lend your support to a solo-run, independent publication.
Pokémon Go Friends directory
From today, all paid subscribers have access to a Pokémon Go Friend directory as a way to add fellow One More Catch readers as in-game friends.
This is useful for sending and receiving gifts (great for XP and pinning postcards for Scatterbug regions) and, at the highest friendship level, performing Remote Trades. It's also possible to jump into raids remotely through invites or by joining directly from your friends list. In other words, if you're in need of a friends boost with a small, select group, this will come in handy.
I should add this is an optional feature. There's no obligation to join the list, add other subscribers, or keep on top of gift-sending if you do - but if you're interested in taking part, the directory can be found here.
And as a small extra, I have a handful of gifts from Pokémon Go Fest Copenhagen burning a hole in my scrapbook that I'll dish out on a first-come, first-served basis for anyone who adds me. I'm looking forward to playing together!
Named credits on the site and newsletter
Keen readers may have spotted this in recent weeks, but the names of Great and Ultra Supporters are now listed on the Special Thanks area of the site, as well as the end of the weekly 'This week in Pokémon Go' newsletter.
This is a way of giving a little extra thanks for the site's biggest supporters; I personally get a kick out of seeing my name in the newsletters, sites and videos of the Patreons I back, so I'm excited to do the same here.
More RSS feeds for all
All readers - not just paying subscribers - can now take advantage of more RSS feeds, allowing you to following One More Catch's output more granularly. Just want to follow Pokémon Go updates? Everything that's not Pokémon Go? Perhaps you just want site posts or blogs? The full directory of feeds can be found here.
Thanks for always for your support, and if you have any questions with the above or in general, then drop me a line.
