Dataminers have revealed that in the latest update (which is currently rolling out right this second), the source code has been adjusted to include every single Gen 2 Pokémon, currently without movesets, but they are now, as of the new update, officially in the Pokémon Go game code.

Could every Pokémon from Chikorita to Celebi (or just Tyranitar more likely) be released onto Pokémon Go before the year is up?

Plus Ditto has now been given a moveset and they've suggested that all it'll take is a flip of a switch before Ditto will now start popping up in game. So that's nice too.

Just upgraded my phone to a Samsung S7 Edge (Wanted a Note 7 but want my head on my shoulders more)

Anyway now the Pokemon Go Plus won't connect to it.

I've unpaird it from the last phone and reset it back to factory.

It finds it and everything I even get the symbol on screen but when it comes to connecting it just won't do it.

Oh, I do hope so! Perhaps it will be a nice Christmas present for us all...

I noticed that the XP bonuses have started today. I wonder how big the bonus will be for visiting a Pokestop 7 days in a row, but it is nice to get something extra.

I do think adding Gen 2 will bring players back.

If they do this about every 6 months it will still take 4 years to add all the Gens upto now and in that 4 years at least 1 more is likely to be made.

Quite a good idea really to keep people playing.

Anyone found Ditto yet?

Not liking the new tracking system. The pokemon not near Pokestops will just be luck of the draw i guess.

Interesting that they fiddled with the Combat Power levels, i'd never though i'd get a Pokemon 2000 or over but my Gyarados went from 1881 to 2314! My Lapras and Arcanine have gone down. Only by a couple of hundred, thank goodness. Both are still over 1600.

How do you get Ditto? I caught a rattata but it turned into Ditto?? Is that meant to happen?

Yes if you catch any of Pidgey Rattata Zubat or Magikarp they can turn into a Ditto.


Not all of them of course I must have caught 20 Pidgey's before I got the one who turned into Ditto.

Managed to catch 3 Ditto's so far since yesterday from Zubats and a Magikarp. Quite difficult trying to balance gaining all the double XP with the lower Pokemon and attempting to restock items with only about 3 items per Pokestop!

BiB, I'm glad I'm not the only one suffering from the lack of drops from the Pokestops at the moment. They seemed to have a good balance recently between number of items dropped but it seems to have been reduced again.

It got me thinking the other day I would have stopped playing this game a LONG time ago given how many times I run out of pokeballs even though I have a pokestop right outside my house so all I have to do when home is turn the game on and collect the items without having to leave my house. But If I actually had to go out and walk from place to place (especially now its dark and cold) to get a few pokeballs just to catch a pidgey or a rattata, I would have lost interest a long while back and deleted it.

By the way does anybody find certain non-rare pokemon really hard to catch? For instance, I mostly ignore Venonat's now even the low level ones because they will always escape unless I throw a load of berries at them and/or use ultra balls and even then it's not caught until the third or fourth attempt.

I don't know what they've done but everything seems much harder to catch now, even non-ditto Pidgeys and Rattatas seem to break out of Great Balls at random and can even break out of ultra balls and that's not even touching on the slightly rarer species like Paras and Venonat.

I've had the new Nearby feature since the weekend which I am finding useful as I need to hunt down Dratinis and Charmanders to get Charizard and Dragonite.

I have 75 Charmander candies and 3 Dratini candies at the moment so every little helps - so far I have caught 1 Dratini and had one escape on me.

Another Halloween-style reduced walking distances to earn candies for Christmas would be most welcome as I haven't been doing well with eggs for either of them and I'm trying to top up on Lapras candies at the moment

Rumours doing the rounds are that a new sponsorship with Starbucks is to be announced. A "Pokemon Go Frappuchino" will be avaliable instores, and niantic are hoping this new level of publicity/sponsership, mixed with the new xmas update will get many players back.

That is the Gen 2 rumour.

However others are speculating it may be Legendaries as the note says "New Pokemon"

And it only mentions Starbucks in the USA leading some to think whatever it is will only be avaliable in the US and then only to someone who buys the Pokemon Frappuchino via some kind of code or transfer (I can't see that myself)

More news.

http://pokemongolive.com/en/post/sprint/

This one says

As we race towards 2017, we wanted to take a moment and thank you for your support. We’re excited for December because we have a few new experiences and in-game events planned for you before wrapping up the year. While we cannot share all the details yet, keep an eye out on our social media channels on December 12th for details about the first addition of more Pokémon into Pokémon GO.
As this is from the Official Pokemon Go site I think it's pretty much confirmed Gen 2 will be added before Christmas perhaps even within the next week.

Also sounds like Halloween we may get a Christmas event.

Has anyone got the update yet.

Not Gen 2 the one where you can transfer multiple Pokemon for Candies at once?

It should have been out yesterday but as of yet I don't have it (I've checked the App Store to see if I had to manually do it but it's not up there yet)

I think it said it would be released at 11am Pacific time, so about 7pm uk time.

We are going to get the big news today which is more than likely about when Gen 2 is coming.

I think it will be within the next week.
