    Default Pokémon GO getting gen 2 Pokemon! FINALLY!

    The Johto Pokémon are coming this week! This is confirmed, though there is no concrete date for some reason?

    Anyway, I'm super excited. After the whole baby Pokémon business, I was really worried they'd be trickling down all these Pokémon instead of giving us big updates

    I can't wait until it actually gets warmer and less snowy outside so I can start playing this again!

    This! I do of course have a hundred complaints, the battle system is meh, there's very limited things you can do, they stopped you being able to spin Pokestops if you're going above 20mph and 90% of the Pokemon I see are Pidgeys, Weedles and Rattatas, but despite all those moans I've had a great time playing it and it got me out and about and exploring new areas.

    Get ready for some Sentrets and Hoothoots to break up the monotony, then!

    I want to know how they'll handle split evolutions like Politoed.

    ...oh wait they'll just take the Eevee random approach, won't they?

    They'll actually be introducing a bunch of evolution-related items. It's all in the forbes article I linked

    Whatever happened to this game? It was all over the news and in gaming discussions and then it vanished.

    For me, it had very little to offer once you've caught most of the pokemon native to your area. Other than catching, the only other content was to take over the gyms and eventually 2500 CP Dragonites controlled all of them. I also wish they kept the first version of the tracker. I hate the new version.

    I haven't played this in a few months. Is trading allowed yet? Any other activities besides catching and gym battles? Are there better ways to find pokemon you are missing from your 'dex?

    The Gen 2 sounds interesting but I'm not that interested in wading through more pidgeys and rattatas to find them.

    The worst part about you saying that is that you live in the Bay Area, aka the best place on the planet to find Pokemon in this game.

    I think they've actually changed the distribution of Pokémon? So less Ratattas and Pidgeys and more Nidorans and stuff


    Btw, I wonder if we'll get a free gen 2 starter

    They should introduce a Pokemon care function on Pokemon GO, to suit those who like to pamper their pokemon after catching them instead of fighting 2500CP Dragonites.

    Truth be told, I found like 130 of 150, so there wasn't much left to be found.

    This app updated on my phone today, but I haven't found any new Pokemon yet so I'm not sure if it's THE update or not.

    Question

    So this is live and people have already figured out that you need to name your Eevee Tamao for Umbreon and Sakura for Espeon
