I was in the middle of playing when Gen 2 started here, and I caught six new Pokemon (Sentret, Hoothoot, Chinchou, Murkrow, Snubbull, and Swinub) before the servers really started messing up. The servers calmed down a couple hours ago, so I also managed to evolve to Espeon and Umbreon. So much fun! I missed the rush of catching a bunch of new Pokemon.

I'm disappointed that the new style stuff costs coins, but it doesn't affect me much; I'm pretty happy with my style as is. I'm more disappointed that there wasn't an automatic storage/bag upgrade.
