To help you prepare for upcoming adventures, Pokémon Storage upgrades require 50% fewer PokéCoins starting the afternoon of Feb. 16–28 PST!

Half price pokemon and item storage upgrades from today until feb 28. Will be good to get some extra space in for the new items and new pokes.

Same. Level 29. Haven't even seen a single Dratini.

They gotta turn it on serverside first. They'll probably force the version upgrade later tonight or tomorrow, then turn it on. Keeps the app from bugging the gently caress out if somebody gets an evo item or new berry in the old version that doesn't have the assets.

Yeah, I think this is what happened. I'm noticing a lot less spawns at work today. I'm guessing they're supposed to be spawning gen2s, but waiting for the switch to actually show up.

Wish there was some small free upgrade and I feel like complaining that gen 2 is a cash grab but making that argument without sounding whiny as hell is :effort:

The version was forced about an hour ago, then unforced, now it's apparently forced again.

So Gen 2/new items late tonight/tomorrow seems like the plan.

I played the hell out of Pokémon (I had red and yellow), but I only made it a little bit into Silver until I just stopped playing. Any specific Pokémon to be looking for? Do we know who Niantic is making rare or not rare?

Also, I want to throw out all my current 5km eggs to get new ones, which presumably have newer Pokémon in them as well as the standard.

Just caught this one, it darted around the screen in a zig-zag but was pretty easy to hit even without the slowing berry.

Nah all of the new ones I've seen are super far away.

Also I just caught a black spearow thing and it turned into an eevee. :sweatdrop:

I decided to walk down to the local hardware/general store instead of driving just to work on my eggs. On the way there, everything was as it was before, and I spent about 15 minutes at the store. On the way back, I caught a Chikorita, Sentret, Chinchou, Sunkern, Teddiursa, and a bunch of Murkrow. This is one of the few instances where timing as ever ended up being perfect for me.
