I can only get the capture pokemon bonus, i heard you get them from the pokestop bonus... which i can't get unless i cheat. xD

[Kaderin Triste]

Yeah. The evo items are only gotten at pokestops. You are guaranteed one if you get the 7 day streak, but VERY rarely you can get one without the streak.

[Awen Moonshine]

Although they have lowered the rarity of them. Not by much mind you but enough that my other half is finally getting them randomly dropping from stops now too.

That sucks you can't get to a stop regularly DK *hugs* I'm really lucky that my other half will go out of his way to make sure we keep our streaks running...

[Demonskid]

yea this game doesn't like people who don't live close enough to a stop.. ono

[Serra Britt]

It's a mile walk to get to my closest stop too. So I've done it...once. On the plus side, another mile gets me five more stops if I'm up to it and the weather is nice.

Now if only the ol' phone would stay connected to the server D:

[Kaderin Triste]

Ugh. I have mostly stopped playing again. Except for events, I pretty much just see the same pokemon all the time. And I have all evolutions already. XP
I'm not even interested that much in hatching eggs anymore. Always get the same pokemon from them too...

Trainers,

We’re celebrating two amazing milestones—Pokémon GO’s one-year anniversary and 750 million global downloads—and you’re invited to join in on the fun! Over the next few months, we’re hosting real-world and in-game events planned alongside some very exciting new features that will get you outside exploring the world with family and friends. Get ready for an action-packed couple of months!

To kick things off, we will be hosting the Solstice Event starting on June 13, 2017. This in-game event will feature Fire-type and Ice-type Pokémon, huge XP bonuses for throwing Poké Balls accurately, and discounted Lucky Eggs in the in-game shop. Soon thereafter, you can look forward to a new update focused on collaborative group gameplay features that will get you playing Pokémon GO in fun new ways. In preparation for these exciting features, we’ll be temporarily disabling Gyms for a short period of time.

We’re also excited to announce our first ever real-world Pokémon GO event coming your way: Pokémon GO Fest Chicago! This event will take place in downtown Chicago, Illinois, USA at the beautiful Grant Park on July 22, 2017. Join us as we celebrate the Pokémon GO community with a ton of exciting festivities. Tickets and more information for Pokémon GO Fest Chicago will be available at PokemonGoLive.com/Fest on Monday, June 19 at 10:00 A.M. PDT, so make sure to mark your calendars and follow our social media channels to be notified when tickets go live! European Trainers can look forward to Pokémon GO celebrations hosted across the continent from June through September in partnership with Unibail-Rodamco shopping centers. We'll be posting a complete schedule for these events very soon. Also, The Pokémon Company is organizing “Pikachu Outbreak”, a Pokémon event in Yokohama, Japan, in August where they’re exploring a unique Pokémon GO experience. Stay tuned for even more details surrounding each of these events in the coming weeks.

Keep an eye on PokemonGoLive.com and our Pokémon GO social media channels for the latest news and updates surrounding the exciting features and events coming your way. See you outside!

[Kaderin Triste]

Well cool. The only thing of use to me in that announcement is the solstice event.

[Awen Moonshine]

Same... It sucks that loads of places are getting cool stuff happening but at least I might finally find a Houndour and a better Cindaquil...

[Kaderin Triste]

Yeah, I still need Houndour too. And more cyndaquills to get the final evolutionary form.

[Futaba]

Wait.. there's houndours now? I need to play again!

[Kaderin Triste]

Yep. Gen 1 and Gen 2 are both in game now. They released Gen 2 near the end of winter I think...but I forget exactly when it was. I haven't actually seen any yet, but they exist. Somewhere...

[Futaba]

i totally forgot houndour was part of Gen 2.
I have an umbreon but didn't think that perhaps Houndour would be in. Totally one of my favorite Pokémon

[Quiet Man Cometh]

I dusted off the app and actually played it the other day. Can't seem to catch the drive-by pokestops anymore. Either I'm out of practice or they don't like you swiping them at high speeds. Got a Gliger, Ledyba, and Spinarak, all on my mom's dashboard. Story of the day was that I wasn't paying attention when we were leaving my sister's place and my mom had to take the highway east rather than west and I forgot to remind her about the turn. We went the wrong way and I was directing her to the nearest highway re-entry point on roads she didn't know by following the road map laid out in the game.

[Coda]

I think they did change it to where you can't spin PokeStops in motion anymore.

[Demonskid]

something that upsets me because thats the only way i can get pokeballs ono when i head out to dr appointments
