Anyone playing still?
Gen 2 has been a fun addition to the game. I caught my first Wobbofett yesterday and it was a female so it was wearing lipstick, looks hilarious.
I have some gripes about it though. There doesn't appear to be any easy to catch Pokémon that can make a dent in gyms. A friend told me that Ursaring can get up to 2600 but that still doesn't seem as good as Growlithe was originally or Rhydon is now.

Yeah Rob and I just went hunting yesterday and got a nice haul. The best gen 2 guys I see are rare or evos of Gen 1. Tyranitar, Blissey and Espeon seem like monsters. I'm betting some of the rarer guys are the better ones. Feraligatr, Typhlosion, Meganium, Tyranitar, Ampharos should all be good. Forretress is the one I wanna see how it plays. Blissey is a tank and Espeon gets to 2900s and is actually rated better than Vaporeon now (too bad Umbreon is the weakest of the 5). Scizor actually should be ridiculous since Scyther is a 2200 guy from the start and is actually fairly useful against psychic types (good around me, fucking Hypno ....)

Yeah after I posted this I looked up Tyranitar and the larvitar I have would max out at 3600 (3100 at my level) but they're going to be hard to raise like Dragonite. My Blissey is over 2800 and I feel like they're going to have to change that because they're to hard to beat to prestige a gym.

How...how did you get the accented e in Pokemon while you were typing on the board!? Pokemon Go just came out in Korea last month (officially anyway). Until then people were acquiring the app through apks and having to travel up near the border with North Korea to play (because of the way the map was designed). That border town though suddenly had a huge jump in tourism; with the mayor even dressing up like professor Oak as he wandered through the city, lol. I'm torn on if I want to play it or not. The game mechanics look very different (and the fact that you're calling blissy a tank testifies to that). Is it fun? Like lots of fun? What pokemon do you use? How do you play? Do you get exercise?

It is fun. It gets you out and moving around because in order to catch most of the Pokémon you have to move out of your general area. I have a lot of fun with it. There are plenty of downfalls but the game is so easy to use. Autocorrect on my phone adds the accent. My top ten mon are a 3083 Dragonite, 2939 Gyarados, 2894 Snorlax, 2816 Blissey, 3 Rhydon's between 2773 and 2646, 2505 Vaporeon, 2500 Espeon, 2477 Golem.

My wife and I go for half hour walks every night, so I usually play then, so I'm not too high level. I think my best mon is an electric Eevee evolution at 1760-ish (I don't know it's official name because I used the "Sparky" trick to get it). It has been cool to have the new update because I get new pokemon while in my usual area! Try it out Mongo, you'll either love it or hate it, no one seems to be in the middle. But it is great for being motivated to walk, and explore areas of your town.

My wife hates Pokémon so it doesn't work for us but my sister and brother-in-law enjoy playing together.

There's no friends lists or pictures of cute girls on it, so you should be fine. Unless she's in that school of thought that Pokemon represent demons.

Jeez K-Dawg, cut me deep why don't you, lol It's really more that there's no point in me wandering outside alone when I could try to rope my wife into it and turn it into like a couples thing.

I would just like to add that female Wobuffet ... is so damn funny. Something about the lipstick is just like ... WTF? Lol. How is everyone doing with catching their favs? My progress is as follows:
Cyndaquil - nope Scyther - fuck yeah, got 2 boss ones. Snorlax - Damn ... nope. Typhlosion - Obvi nope. Scizor - Need a metal coat Gengar - Yep, maxed up Hitmonlee - Yep, not very good Alakazaam - not even close Tyranitar - Not even a Larvitar yet aaaaaaand - Charizard - 30 candies away

When they added lipstick to the female Wobeffets in the main series it was a huge hit too. I think they actually based it off a joke from the TV show. There's something about putting lipstick on a punching bag that strikes our humor deep down.
Cyndaquil and it's evolutions are my favorite starter! It was the #1 thing that got me exited about the gen 2 upgrade to Pokemon Go

I have got all of Gen 1 except Lapras.
So far in Gen 2 I have all of the starters and enough of each for second EVO but I'm holding out. I've found on Lavitar but nothing else yet.
I've gotten four special items. I'm a ways away from using my upgrade but I have Slowking, Scizor and Politoad.

I really want Snorlax, but I have yet to find him. Yet every gym around me has multiple Snorlaxes

I've got quite a few Snorlax. Took awhile to find one then I started getting them everywhere. If they ever open trading I got one for you.
