I've gotten a fair amount of distance from leaving the app open while I drive. I don't actually *do* anything but I pick up a few bit of distance every so often.
Also, should I keep my lucky egg and wait to use it until this Thanksgiving event? Or do you think they'll do something stupid like lucky eggs not working or something?
finally got a Pikachu from an egg. never felt right not having the little fella.
my current streak ends exactly when this starts. nice.
I'm gonna need more Pidgeys. The more diverse spawns are great, but now i have to sift through spearows and tauros all the time to try to pick out the odd pidgey.
I haven't played in two days. That's a record to me. It actually felt nice to be able to walk around without checking the damn game every 20 seconds. My daily streaks just went to hell now, hah. It's just that I'm beyond sick of catching the same Pokémon everyday. I haven't catched a rare one in months and I just get pure trash on eggs. Just recently I got two ekans and one sandshrew from eggs. and I have more than 500 candies of each of those already... It's simply annoying wich is the reason I haven't spend real money to buy incubators. I would get so mad if I hatch another freaking sandshrew knowing I just spend real money to get it. But oh well, what's the point in complaining. I spend great moments while playing this game and I met lot's of people because of it so I'm grateful for that at least.
Edit: I just read about the upcoming event... And I simply want to cry. Just a few days ago I did a massive evolving session with a lucky egg where I pulled 82k XP from it. If I had waited a little longer to this I would had gotten 164k!!! D: Just kill me now.

My Victreebel, Blastoise, and Vileplume lost so much CP.. and useless moveset Gyarados went from 2k to 2600 CP.
I still don't believe gen 2 will come before april, the so called proof on reddit was a joke (as in quality not actually confirmed as a joke)
anyways
yay for snorlax, vaporeon and dragonite getting buffed
from what I am reading
the dragonite thing seems like dragonite himself got a very minor buff, while dratini got a very small nerf.
either way I have a 2k golem now

Finally my Gengar that I've pointlessly pumped stardust into is useful and got a 500CP boost. Rhydon and Gyarados as well got big bumps.
Whew, look at that:
http://pokemongolive.com/en/post/cp_update/
I can't tell you how much my Rhydon jumped exactly, but he went from 1100-1200 CP to about 1800-1900. Shiiiat. We have to see the formula to see if they tinkered with it or what.

And Vaporeon, it seems, got a buff too. KEK

They beefed Ground types andVaporeon AND nerfed plants.
Seems legit and just what the gym meta needed.
At least Jolteon got a huge power boost to tackle Vaporeon.
eh....
an equal CP vaporeon still typically kills a jolteon.
so even if jolty got a power boost it still isn't a good match up for vaporeon >.>

At least we got more competitive Ice types since Jynx got beefed.
But yeah, I will not forgive Niantic for nerfing my Wigglies

Glad I put all my Stardust into leveling my army or Arcanine. -_- Ah well, at least gyms will be more interesting.
Why the fuck did Vaporeon get a boost though?!

It also depends on how the CP was changed. Was it just the formula that was changed, or did the base stats for Pokemon change. If it's the later, then things will certainly be more interesting.
At least with Arcanine it didn't go down too much. My lv 29 Arcanine only went down by like 150, from 2500 to about 2350.

Nope, it stayed the same.
The formula to calculate base stats from the original stats has probably changed to better reflect pokemon with bigger stat differences.

Opposite for me lol

I got more buffs than nerfs. The plant types hurt though.
I got most buffs as well. My top 12 will likely start to diversify once I know which Pokemon to actually level up now.
Also, weirdly I had 7 gyms held this morning, and now only 6. No new Pokemon needed to be revived or recovered after the CP. So I really can't tell which Pokemon/gym got destroyed. lol.
My best guess is a gym I had a Pokemon in just got removed from the system (happened before) and literally just returned it

It looks to me like you won't really see the buffs or nerfs unless you powered up a Pokemon with Candy/Dust. Which is to say that they have not at all adjusted a Pokemon's intrinsic CP, but raised the ceiling on possible upgrades.
Doesn't this mean that we'll have to spend even more dust on future upgrades?

They nerfed almost all the Pokemon that could take on a Vaporeon. What the hell?
Waylon Drums

Yeah, anything not shat out by evolving an eevee in my list has been nerfed. I was barely any good to begin with!
No they will update automatically. And my guess is they changed the CP formula, not the base stats. So everything is still as effective against, say, Vaporeon as before.

Wow, Cloyster and Jynx are very strong Ice types right now. Lapras is practically unchanged, but it's still the best.
Dewgong got nerfed hard.
