    I don't know about others, but i caught my Dragonite fully evolved around 1800 cp, and I actually caught my first (of total two) Dratinis only within the last couple of weeks. Also, nests were apparently a thing, you know.

    And yesterday I encountered my second full grown Dragonite. Which after scores of balls, escaped on me. FML.

    I hope Christmas event first, with gen 2 coming later, honestly. And frankly, to keep people's interest, Niantic should do that too; keep people hyped and playing more. But meh.

    Really hoping there's a Christmas event beyond the Santa-hat Pikachu thing. That doesn't really compare to what we got for Halloween.

    So there is no bonus XP?

    I think there is a Pikachu nest near my home. Time to go Chu-a-hunting.

    Trolled. I was all excited about a big update but we get this. In japan, they got a Lapras event but we got a pikachu with a stupid hat.

    technically, there's also the sprint and starbucks things going on in theory. And they may do an event for new years or something. Maybe.

    I think you can only hatch them. Meaning lots of people buying incubators.

    I'm sure they will still have a Christmas event with candy or exp.

    Yeah, Christmas is almost two weeks away still. There is plenty of time for another event. It will probably be between Christmas and New Years.

    The 'new' pokemon can only be hatched, the santachu you can catch in the wild though.

    So there's a new Valentine's Day event for this game apparently.

    TL;DR version of the features:

    Double candies received for catching, hatching and transfering Pokémon.
    Buddy Pokémon will find candy twice as fast as usual.

    Pink Pokémon, including Chansey, Clefable and Porygon will have increased spawn rates.
    Second generation Pokémon such as Cleffa, Igglybuff and Smoochum will have a higher chance of hatching from eggs.

    Lure Modules will last for six hours, as opposed to 30 minutes.

    That Lure Module buff is going to get some parties going.

    Really enjoy the major buffs that come up around holidays.

    Seriously. From 30 minutes per lure to 6 hours... makes you think they're not getting used as much as Niantic wants.

    I haven't played the game in a while, and I actually ended up skipping the starter Pokemon event, but that Valentine's Day event might make me pick it back up. For Porygon if nothing else, one of my favourite Gen 1 Pokemon but I only ever caught the one.

    I already got full pokedex and lvl 31, so I only play occasionally when in a new area to see what's there. Not much to do post lvl 30.

    Everyone seems to just completely loathe Niantic, damn. Any time they do anything the first reaction is so completely negative, it's boggling.

    Honestly I think they've done pretty fine, considering the problems they had to deal with and how they're kinda forging a completely new type of game with the AR stuff. Wish people would give them a bit of a break; it gets tiring reading only negativity in regards to them.

    They've had three years to get this right with Ingress. They didn't.

    They need to hire 1 PR person and 99% of their issues would be solved.

    I respect what they have done with the game. But communication and out reach are a joke.

    Full pokedex requires cheating, yeah? Spoofing and whatnot? Or I guess traveling to places like Japan and Australia for region specifics?

    I don't care if you cheated -- fuck it everyone else was doing it -- just double checking it's a requirement still. I refuse to jailbreak my iPhone so /shrug.
