"A handful of Gen2 PSA's (PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING) [META]"

#PokemonGO: GeneralThere were some server issues, which seem to already be resolved. You might still want to hold off from using shop and transferring/evolving Pokémon though.Just a reminder: extended Lures are still a thing until 18 February. Also, Pokémon storage is half price until 26 February. If you bought Pokémon storage within the last couple days, try your luck and contact support - they might compensate it to you in some way.Rebalancing/MovesetsIt appears that a lot of Pokémon's moves (such as Hydro Pump) have been rebalanced. They now have more/less charges and damage.Lapras has been nerfed.Players report that gym fighting mechanics have changed - some moves are now slower and can't be spammed anymore (probably to compensate for higher damage).Legacy Moves have been implemented. A legacy move is essentially one that a Pokémon can no longer learn due to Niantic pulling it from their move set.Gen1 Pokémon can learn new moves that they couldn't before.EvolvingName your Eevee "Sakura" to get an Espeon upon evolve, name it "Tamao" for Umbreon. (without quotation marks)Special item - Dragon Scale, Metal Coat, Sun Stone, King's Stone or Upgrade - might be needed to evolve some Pokémon into their 2nd Gen form. They can be obtained from Pokéstops. Golbat and Chansey do not need any special items to be evolved.CatchingSome nests and spawns have changed.Baby Pokémon can now be found in the wild.2nd evolution forms now grant 5 candies and 300 Stardust upon catch, 3rd evolution forms grant 10 candies and 500 Stardust.There's now a 50xp "First Throw" bonus when you catch a Pokémon with your first throw. Quitting and re-entering the catching screen does not reset this bonus.Pokémon can now move around the screen when you try to catch them.Critical catches have been added.Ditto can now be disguised as a Gen2 Pokémon such as Hoothoot, Yanma or Sentret.ItemsThere are new types of Berries - Pinap (double candies upon next catch), Nanab (slows the Pokémon's moves so it's easier to catch). You can obtain them from Pokéstops. Only one type of Berry can be used on a Pokémon at the same time (quit and re-enter the catching screen to reset if needed).Level-Up rewards can now contain new items (Pinap and Nanab berries confirmed).Other gameplay changesAs of now, it is not known what Gen2 Pokémon are regionally exclusive, nor if there are any at all.Some Pokémon require less distance to find candies as a Buddy. (Togepi 5km -> 3km)The Johto medal and Delinquent medal (Dark type) have been added.There are new avatar customization options. Some of them need to be bought to use.Some Pokémon sprites have been slightly changed.Walking animation is changed.All fainted Pokémon have been revived. via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2ld8gwY
