I really like the thrill of actually being able to look for new Pokemon again. It does seem like getting the new Eeveelutions is impossible without using the name trick though. I evolved 12 Eevees last night, and not a single one of them was an Umbreon or Espeon.

There is a trick to getting Umbreon & Espeon. Naming them Tamao for Umbreon or Sakura for Espeon or walking 10km then evolving it at night for Umbreon or evolving it during the day for Espeon.
For the Pokémon experts out there, do you know if there are going to be more current Pokémon that will get new evolutions later? I had stopped catching ones like Slowpoke and Oddish once I had all the evolutions, and now I have to go and catch them again, and they are more rare with all the new Pokémon around, so it's really annoying and I would like to limit that from happening again.
I finally caught an Aerodactyl, funnily enough on route to the Switch event in London at the weekend! And with that, aside from Legendarys and region exclusives, gen 1 is complete. Thank Jebus. Have only needed an Aerodactyl since November so very happy to finally be done!
I'm still missing all the fossils, Lapras, Hitmonlee, Farfetch'd, Kangaskhan, and Mr. Mime. I technically don't have Dragonair/nite or Charizard, but I have the candy to get them. I'm just waiting to catch a good Dratini and Charmander. I have no idea how I'll get the others now that I'm even less likely to get them from eggs with Gen 2 pokes out now, but I'll keep chugging along.

I'll try my best… below are any pre or post-evolutions listed by the Generation when the original Pokémon was introduced. Generation V did not introduce any new pre or post evolutions of past Pokémon. The only post-evolution introduced in Generation VI was Sylveon (this does not include Mega Evolutions, as we are not yet certain as to how they will be handled if/when they are introduced to Pokémon GO at some point in the future). I will also include Pokémon whose original forms evolve into an Alolan Pokémon (but not Pokémon who evolve from an Alolan form of a Pokémon).
PRE-EVOLUTIONS GENERATION I
Pikachu - Pichu (Gen II)
Clefairy - Cleffa (Gen II)
Jigglypuff - Igglybuff (Gen II)
Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan - Tyrogue (Gen II) [Note that Tyrogue can also evolve into Hitmontop, who was also introduced in Gen II]
Chansey - Happiny (Gen IV)
Mr. Mime - Mime. Jr (Gen IV)
Jynx - Smoochum (Gen II)
Electabuzz - Elekid (Gen II)
Magmar - Magby (Gen II)
Snorlax - Munchlax (Gen IV)
@sillygostly Wow, that's a lot. Thanks. Although I am really starting to not care that much anymore, and it looks like no more come out until Gen IV, and I'm sure I probably won't care at all by then, but thanks for the info. I got one of the rocks to upgrade a Porygon to a Porygon2 the other day. The only problem is I've never even seen a Porygon, yet alone enough to be able to upgrade one.
I have Porygon 2 but the one I have has poor IVs. It ended up getting two electric type moves. Should have waited until I hatched a Porygon with good IVs.
I played a lot during the water event, but didn't find many interesting pokemon. I still haven't found any Totodile, Lapras, or Shiny Magikarp. There were plenty of Squirtle, but I already had enough of them.
Since I'm a little disappointed with not finding any Totodile during the event, I'm gonna give this app a break. Maybe I'll get back into it next time they have an event.
I found a fair amount of Totodile, but I'm still holding out for the fossil Pokemon and Lapras. Since the water event ended, it's been back to a mostly non-interesting mix. Since I'll be moving in the next couple weeks, I'll be able to start collecting coins again to get those eggs hatching again. With the weather getting nicer again, I'm starting to see more people out playing, which is kinda nice to see that people are still interested.
I actually wasn't aware of the existence of shiny Magikarp in the game now. Were they exclusive to the water event?

I went from only playing a few minutes a day to continue my 7 day streaks to not playing at all lately. Just kinda got bored and now playing Pokemon Moon.
I love Pokémon GO, but the ratio of appearance of pokémon v/s the pokeballs given at pokéstops is ridiculously unbalanced.
In what way?
I sort of gave up on the game. For one thing, it no longer finishes loading when I open it. I don't know why as I had the game for months and it never used to do that. Spoofers also got me less invested in trying to get better at the game.
I think I'm finally done with GO. Completed the original pokedex, minus legendarys and regionals. Have been playing every day since launch last year but now just find myself catching a Pokemon and spinning a Pokestop, then closing the app!
The new gyms are now up and running. So far it seems like it's going to take a lot more time and items to take gyms down. In one match I only removed about 15% of the incumbent Pokemon. Since Pokemon are taken down basically as a group, this is going to make taking over gyms much more of a chore or require team effort.
