Pokemon GO: Pokemon That Lucked Out On Evolution Items

When Generation two was released, so was a new concept for items. Evolutionary items were added to the game, giving trainers a different experience when evolving Pokemon. Though, Niantic didn't just add items to any ol' Pokemon. The Pokemon that can use evolution items were ones that were already in the game and given a new form during the second generation.

How many of you remember the Pokemon that used evolution items in (stones) in the first generation? Don't confuse evolutionary stones with evolution items ;). What Pokemon should have an evolutionary stone from first generation?

Candies Not Received When Catching Ditto?

There seems to be a bug with Ditto. No, it's not the fact that Ditto isn't as common anymore. With Ditto's frustrating spawn patterns this bug could put a damper on you powering up the strongest Ditto you have. It is already hard enough to catch without there being a sure way of telling which Pokemon Ditto is disguised as. Why not make it even harder for trainers by candies not being received after catching?

Reddit user AngusLowrieLifts reported this bug. The trainer states he has in fact never powered either of his two Ditto's up. This means he should have 6 candies right? Well as he went to power up one of the shapeshifted Pokemon, he noticed he only had 3 candies.

This bug, fearfully, makes a lot of sense. The game could struggle with figuring out what candies should be receive, thus, not giving any. Pokemon Go recognizes the disguised Pokemon, but it also recognizes the Pokemon is Ditto once caught.

Pokemon Go Event Currencies?

Many games that hold events, typically have event currencies. Should Pokemon Go add some kind of event currency? It will make events a bit more meaning full and depending on what the items traded for are. It should definitely be helpful. Not to mention it would add a bit of gameplay and a little more story to the event Niantic decides to hold.

As an example of how something like this would work. We could look at the upcoming Christmas event. For each Ice type Pokemon captured, hatched, or evolved, we could be rewarded a single "snowflake". These "snowflakes" would then be traded in for in-game content, but not just any content. Very specific items such as "holiday" or winter-related items.

These items could range anywhere from an x amount of stardust for each medal, candies for ice related Pokemon, and even incenses. In most places that can play Pokemon Go, it really isn't safe to stay outside for any longer than an hour. With this idea, it could help players progress, without needing to worry too much about their temperatures.

For an easter event, we could find eggs hidden within the encounter screen. To collect them, you would just need to tap on them. These could be used again for stardust, but more egg related things. Possibly even 2, 5, 10km eggs. This idea would give players a little something more to look forward to and can even add more medals the game.
