Belated Free-for-All!

Hello trainers!

I hope you're enjoying the double XP/stardust event and that, if you live in the US, you had a lovely Thanksgiving.

The current in-game event + Ditto + CP rebalancing seems to have stolen a lot of attention, so not much in the way of news. I did find this little piece about how PokeGo can be used to encourage interest in conservation efforts. I thought it was a nice change of pace from all the "POKEGO IS DESTROYING OUR PARKS!!" articles, which -- if you do enough digging -- a not-insignificant number seem to stem from affluent people freaking out over the riff-raff.

Since it's been a while, how are y'all doing? Enjoying the in-game event? Struggling to find a ditto? Mad about the CP rebalancing? Let's chat.

Yeah, seconding this. The way that spawns got boosted, if you go on what I think most people would consider a normal walk and try to catch what you encounter, you end up way behind on balls. The secret, such as it is, is to avoid temptation and to stay in one place - preferably one place with multiple stops in reach - and you'll eventually pull ahead on items vs. pokemon.
