Pokémon GO is showing just how much they love their fans this Valentine’s Day by releasing Generation II increasing the amount of candy gained and making some rare Pokémon more common!

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, we couldn’t think of a sweeter time to double the amount of Candy you’ll earn every time you catch, hatch, and transfer Pokémon. Your Buddy Pokémon is also getting into the Valentine’s Day spirit and will find Candy twice as fast!

Throughout the celebration, you’ll notice that Chansey, Clefable, and many other adorable pink Pokémon will be encountered more frequently in the wild. Cleffa, Igglybuff, and Smoochum will also be more likely to hatch from Eggs. And to help you paint your town pink this Valentine’s Day, Lure Modules will last for six hours for the entire duration of the event.

This limited-time celebration will only be available from 11:00 A.M. PST on February 8, 2017, to 11:00 A.M. PST on February 15, 2017, so grab your valentine, get out, and explore the world around you!

  5. I still can’t decide whether I should evolve the Pikachu I transfered over from my Yellow. On one hand it is kind of special to keep it a Pikachu since well…You know. lol On the other hand it’s not all that strong compared to what it could be. Plus the added psychic typing could better round out the team it’s in…..What should I do?!?! Hahaha

    • I dunno you do whatever you think you need to do because i’m not one to talk about something that I have idea on.

          • Yes, it makes no sense. It could’ve been something to do with built up electricity in raichu’s tail caused it to develop a magnetism with the naturally magnetized landscape of Alola. Over time the Raichu developed to being able to rest on their tails in order to keep off the ground and avoid sharp rocks that might harm them.

            ¯_(ツ)_/¯

          • I’m still learning towards mixed breeding in the Alola region to generate Pikachus in the wild resulted in an increased flow of electricity in its brain which finally mutated it when exposed to a thunderstone

          • Exactly but this was the final kick in the pants that made me truly hate regional variants
            The only one that gets a half pass is exeggutor only because of super sunny climates causing extremely growth and that’s it

            Sandshrew and Vulpix make sense but their added types out of nowhere just don’t add up, should’ve been pure ice each of them

            And not to mention the non environmental stuff which gets me angry, Marowak going fire ghost just because the abundance of grass types makes very little sense since water is a big issue, they’re trying to push fire dancers
            Meowth is also a big case since fucking nearly any Royal family anywhere couldn’ve raised them spoiled and cruel not limited to the Alola region

            Grimer and Muk get a pass since they explained their reason well but still this could’ve happened anywhere

            They don’t even explain how Geodude became magnetized,

            This is why Regional Variants need to die, they’re just becoming excuses to reskin old Pokemon

          • I quite agree, although I love A. Raichu, raticate, muk, and vulpix. They did a really poor job for the reasoning, which is the main problem.

          • Which is why I got in a fight with Fairy,
            He made his regional Rhyhorn a Steel/Normal type just because his region purged the minerals out of them and force fed them metals just to become war machines

            How can anyone possibly not see the audacity of this

          • Is your problem that it’s Steel type or that it isn’t ground type anymore? The supposed Rhyhorn regional that is lol

          • I don’t like the method he did it
            Purging the minerals in its body somehow turning it Normal and force feeding it metals to become a steel type

            It just rubs me so the wrong way even more so because it was a forced variant

          • Maybe a better way would to have it turn into a Steel type by way of the mountain itself. Maybe the mountain could be made of much harder materials and since Rhyhorn needs to get around on said mountain it needed to “evolve” into a Steel type to better crush and cut the rocks and whatnot. Is that better? lol

          • Neither, because his specifically were imported just to be used as soliders or an army

            If I were doing it I would say that it becomes Ground/Steel because the abundance of a nutritious ores not only made their bodies harder and tougher, their new taste for the ore urged them to bash and dig into solid rock and ground to dig it up

            Their bodies become sleeker and spiky, tough clawed hoofs, and a big battering horn and skull plate strong enough to break stones open

            And through evolution
            Rhydon’s horn gets way longer and now Rhyperior can swing a spiky tail mace and absolutely demolish everything (and fire compact clumps of compressed metal out their palms)

          • Is there any instance in which you are ok with it not having the ground typing? Like if it had just Steel typing? lol Just curious. Would it ruin it for you if the Rhyhorn line lost ground type all together? I’m not saying it gets another typing you hate or anything. Just in general. Like if it was JUST Steel type.

          • This has nothing to do with losing its ground type, it’s how he made a regional variant solely because of forced evolution

            And every time he always throws Pugs were bred to be that way just because I have one

          • Fair enough. I get you. Still wondering tho. As a separate thing. Curiosity is getting to me hahaha

          • Regional variants are one thing but when they’re done like this it’s just clearly rewriting the Pokemon just the way you want it

    • I can’t find a solid clip but it’s American Dad’s Roger saying
      “I think it’s pretty obvious what you need to do”
      “You need to kick this bitch”
      “To the curb”
      “Pronto”

          • Never gonna happen. In fact the more you oppose me using not it more I want to keep using it. Maybe even evolve it into the pancake loving Raichu lol

          • i mean what else can I possibly say a outs Alolan ARaichu except violently bludgeon it with various blunt objects until it actually has a reason to be a psychic instead of that shitty lame excuse

          • Well I’ll admit the reasoning behind it’s typing is dumb…….Still the hate seems unwarranted. Anyway to appease you I’ll say that on the same team I have a Nidoking. It was the first time I’ve used Nidoking and it was pretty enjoyable lol

          • Yeah it was. Transferred up my entire team up to Sun. I had Pikachu, Nidoking, Gengar, Seadra, Dodrio, and Hitmonchan. It was a decent team for Yellow, but now I’m trying to make them somewhat decent for current standards. This involving changing moves, giving items, and the possibility of evolving my Pikachu lol

          • Don’t let the nostalgia get in the way. the old games aren’t as great as you remember. It’s fun to visit, but the original games by current standards are actually trash hahaha

          • Oh quit flinging nostalgia around
            Is it really nostalgia if I like a old game for doing something different and better or just revisiting it just because I want to?

          • Well people throw the word nostalgia around and half the time they don’t actually know what it means

          • I mean many times people will act like games of the past are SO much better than current games just because they had good times playing them. Just because you have god memories of said game doesn’t mean it was actually “good”. Either way there’s nothing stopping you from playing the older games and enjoying them if you really do like them lol

    • If it truly was that special, I’d say not to evolve it. Not because of Ash or anything, but if your Pikachu reminded you of the good times you had in Yellow, then keep the tradition of it being unevolved

  8. So quick question: what game should I tackle next, Black or X? They were both really fun to play, and I’m wondering which one I should do.

  9. Doing Black, and I started off with Tepig. Didn’t give it a nickname though, but it has a Modest nature and is Mischevious. Neat so far
