I just caught Ditto!! I'm a pretty happy "trainer " right now😂😂!! I've been trying to get a ditto. The only one I found that I knew was ditto (because ds had just caught it) ran away. Darn thing. I did get a lickitung down the road today though-new pokedex entry.

Question about Gen 2 - do you think we'll get an automatic bag expansion with the update so we have room for more Pokemon or are we going to have to pay for the bag upgrade? I bet there's no bag upgrade. I've upgraded mine once but I'm not buying anymore coins so I'll just have to keep transferring. Good news right now is that you get 2 candies for transfers.

Especially since Chansey popped up for me last night and not for him...LOL! I hope with generation 2 coming out this week he'll get lots of newbies.

I have 8 Dittos! I feel so fancy, I hope there is a bag upgrade, otherwise I will have to transfer some of my Eevee army.

My son stopped playing months ago but he opened it back up today to make sure his bag is stocked with balls and ready to go. He says Gen 2 is his favorite. I loved seeing so many people out there playing last weekend because of the Valentine's Day event; I'll bet it's going to be even more crazy this weekend!

That's the Valentine's Day promo. I think lure modules last 6 hours instead of..30 minutes?? I think that's the old time. We aren't playing now because it's too cold. Once we can ride bikes without freezing we'll start back up. But we can't do it on the go (even though the speed rule has supposedly been lessened we still can't get stops without being at a full stop). And the 6 hour lures have been extended to the 18th now. We have to pretty much be at a complete stop too, basically for the game to cycle and realize you aren't going over the 17 mph limit.
I wondered. The Try Again Later has been frustrating. I'm in the darned passenger seat and want to collect pokeballs. I was .1 from earning a candy for buddy when I went into class this evening. Exited the building after class only to discover I am only halfway to the candy. Ugh! I was looking forward to changing to the Poliwag because I only need a few candies to evolve the Poliwhirl. At least, I think that is what I determined this afternoon. LOL! Anyway, I was quite disappointed. *First World Problem*

Are you sure he didn't earn that candy and start a new one? If I leave the program open my buddy keeps walking. I can hatch an egg in a little over four hours of my phone sitting on my desk with the program open.

The speed cap is very frustrating.
Finally got one single Chansey during this event. And a few more porygons.
Looking forwards to gen2

Do y'all battle at gyms? I'm always eager to evolve my lower level pokemon and get ones that are better for battling. LOL. We appraise, check iv stats, etc. Anything "room for improvement" or "decent" or even "strong" with low iv's get transferred. The terminology varies depending on what team you're on.

I do, I use poke genie is for iOS. Battling gyms in my area is hard for weaker players. Mystic level ten gyms are over the entire city. I never seem to be able to get in lower.

When I have time. The gyms in this area remain very fluid. I held one gym straight from September - December but another team finally took it down. Gyms around here, even Level 10 gyms, rarely stay the same color for more than a couple days. It's a lot of wasted time/pokemon to take down a level 7 or 8 gym to only get 10 coins and have to do it all again the next day.

I'm not even sure what's involved anymore in taking a gym. Last summer when the game had just come out dd and I often drove around at night and would take the gyms around our neighborhood. Dd had just had knee surgery and it was a good distraction for her because she couldn't walk. But it was easier to do at that point even for people who didn't really know what they were doing, because no one had very powerful Pokemon yet. We have a few screenshots of her character or mine in charge of a gym but I'm sure we wouldn't be able to do it now. And I don't know anything about special attacks or even what a "low iv" is. Or a high iv...? lol

It was great being able to collect until they lowered that speed! Now, I make him crazy, yelling SLOW DOWN!
That is me right now with the Grimmer... I only need the muck and just couldn't get out and walk this last week. I am two candies away. Oh well, I know I will get there. Someday. Yes the Valentine's event ended at 2PM PST time.
Looking forward to the rumor of Saturday though.... I may be up all night looking for pokemon, if its true!

In case you didn't see it, Niantic announced that beginning this afternoon, pokemon storage and the bag upgrade will be half price for a few days so that we can prepare for the update.

Normally you can buy storage for 50 more pokemon or 50 more items for 200 coins. It will only be 100 coins during the discount period. If you don't collect coins by holding gyms, you can buy 100 coins for 99 cents.
Because the update includes 80 new pokemon and multiple new items (different kinds of berries, items at pokestops necessary for certain evolutions, etc.) I'd hoped they give us at least one free upgrade.

That explains it. When I drove ds to his pokemon league yesterday we stopped at a nearby stop and got a jigglypuff, which I promptly transferred and got 2 candies. After I took dd to her shelter job (at 5) I was only getting 1 candy for transfers. I shouldn't have waited. Now I only have 2000 ratatta and pidgie and weedle candy instead of 2020.

Gen 2 is up but all we are getting is the revolving pokeball of death. Too many people playing probably.

Mine updated, but I don't have any new Pokemon in the Pokedex. Just some tweaks on the screen layout, making it easier to access poke balls and raspberries. Bag and storage upgrades are still 200 coins.

DS just came out to tell me a little while ago. I need to clean out my pokebag. I'm going to have to transfer most of my cute Jigglypuffs! I'm sad. Also I have a large number of rattatas because I was going to evolve them all at once with a lucky egg. But I never did so now I just need to get rid of them. And... I just downloaded my update and opened the tracker... omg, out of nine that show up at one time I have SEVEN silouettes of ones that I don't have! I can't wait for my dog walk in the morning. lol

Just have to have a little bit of patience for the ball to catch and all that. But the dog who wasn't going to get a walk tonight just did. So he's happy.

My dh is in charge of the dog's evening walk so I'm leaving that to him. But, I may run down to our local park, four blocks away, just to see what's there. lol

I caught 3 new ones, pretty excited to go out this weekend! I did buy a bag upgrade for more Pokémon storage, not ready to thin my Eevee army yet!
Anyone know how to get new Eeveelutions?

Supposedly you name one "Sakura" and one "Tamao". But I haven't had a chance to try it yet. (I read it on a Pokemon Go FB group...)

Ok. I am happy now. My son and I went out for a bit and caught:
spinarak houndour murkrow sunkern natu hoothoot subbull sudowoodo
I was able to evolve a crobat and a blissey. Tried an eevvee 3 times and just old stuff. Can't get a steelix or a scythe evo yet because now I need a metal coat!! from a pokestop.
Still I happy.
