Ha, I've never seen an Ivysaur. Or a Bulbasaur, for that matter. I have no way of knowing if the bug affects me or not.

My big Pokemon news of the week: there was a local golf course/restaurant near my house that had a decent amount of stops and two gyms, and the people who owned the place paid Niantic to get rid of them all. (I have no idea why - we were going to eat at the restaurant a lot so we could play. Maybe it was because they generally attract an ~older clientele.) It was the only place within reasonable walking distance for me to play, so I'm crushed. Still, a new stop popped up there in the last update anyway, so at least it's not totally empty?
