This Week in Pokémon Go News + Free-for-All

Hello trainers! As you've no doubt noticed by now, the Halloween event has come to an end. I hope you enjoyed it and had a great time catching the event pokémon. :D

Niantic has announced a few updates for us. It's not quite clear when these changes will go live (or if they already have). Reports are conflicting at the moment.

• Look alive! Nests have migrated.

• Along those lines, spawning diversity has increased and you won't be seeing as many pidgeys, rattatas, and zubats as before. (source)

• As [personal profile] healingmirth pointed out in last week's post, eevees will now hatch from 5km eggs while pidgeys and rattatas will no longer hatch from 2km eggs. Oh no! But I'm still trying to evolve that good IV pidgeot with wing attack/hurricane!! (source)

• And finally, we will be getting daily bonuses for doing certain in-game activities everyday! More details here. This change will hopefully be included in the next game update, which if the schedule holds up, will start rolling out next week.

Any interesting bits of news from your neck of the woods? How do you feel about these upcoming changes?

For that matter...

PokeStop Free-for-all featuring Snorlax!


How was your week in PokeGo?

It's all about what's common in your area, right? I have six fully evolved Eevees, three of which are fully powered up, and I still have 1269 extra Eevee candies just sitting there.

But Charmanders? Nowhere to be found. Same for Dratinis. If I ever hit the all-but-mythical Level 40, I bet I still don't have a Charizard or Dragonite.

I wonder if trading will ever actually, you know, happen... *wistful*

Wow, that is a lot of eevee candy! I thought we were in pretty good shape around here, eevee-wise, but even if I transferred all my lowbie flareons and jolteons that never see any action... heck, even if I'd magically never evolved the eevees that I don't currently either train or attack with daily, coming up on level 30, that's still only 650 candies.

Wow, that is a lot of Eevees!

And oh, yes, I want trading to be a thing! I'm giving houseroom to a clutch of Mr Mimes in the hopes that when it does visiting non-Europeans might fancy them.

There was *briefly* a round of Charmanders in one local park, which got me as far as a Charmeleon, but I'm on about 15 candies from there, so some way to do, and the spawns in that park seem to have switched to mostly-Ghastleys, and the river used to have occasional Dratinis, but I haven't seen one in several weeks ;( (But I finally evolved my Vileplume, and the candy boost for Halloween means I'm only 50km of distance from a Venusour)

If they do worldwide/non local trading and not just physical trading, I'll trade a Kangaskhan for one of those Mr. Mines. :D
