Alright, so the new things are
1. CUSTOMIZATION OPTION
Yep, time for more outfits. I play on iOS so I couldn't get it earlier, but I saw some who used Android apk appli had quite interesting outfit choices. White lower outfits, finally.
This also include Skin, Shirt, Pants, Hat, Shoes, Eyes, Gloves, Socks, Belt, Necklace, and Glasses.
Some will be unlocked after certain level or medals achieved. Some others will be for sale for coins.
Oh, and I saw someone hatless.
2. NEW BERRIES
They are: (I forgot what are those called in Jap)
+ Pinap - Doubles Candy obtained when next catch is success.
+ Nanab - calms down Pokemon, making them move slower, easier to hit with balls.
Pinap will be
very useful when encountering something like Chansey. Even better when it's Halloween or Valentine where Candy is doubled by default for event.
I have practiced against Golbats, caught Dragonite successfully several times (9:10 or perfect record), and have lots of greater balls already. Think I need only like 10 in case of rares. Although then again, there will also be new ways Pokemon resist catching attempts, so this is for that.
3. EVO. ITEMS
Apparently discovered by mining before. Will be available on Stops. Now Onix
?, Scyther
?, and Seadra will be useful, and Slowpoke will have branch evolution into King. Will be interesting with possible different movesets. My only problem is them taking bag spaces, I'll have to adjust my bag....
... still hoping Espeon and Umbreon won't depend on Random Number Arceus....
4. SHINY POKEMON
Let's see which is more important this time, perfect Pokemon or Shiny Pokemon. And the cries of those who get Bulldoze shiny Arcanines and the likes.
5. NEW BADGES
Remember, we have no Dark Pokemon yet in Gen1, although at least we had Steel and Fairy already. Also, Johto badge; Pokedex completion is separated for each generation, apparently. Let's get catching again.
6. New Musics
... eh, I'm already content with listening to core game musics on other appli when opening GO....
7. Throwing changes
Apparently someone said Dragonites are closer now. And balls are now projecting further. Good thing since I don't like those faraway mon or those whose throwing range is absurdly limited (I hate you, Ptera).
There'll be more things... I heard of Hidden Power on Unown.
I'll see if I don't just set a 21-hr alarm and do something more productive this time.
Oh, and Pokemon Box upgrade 50% sale on Feb 16-28. Now if only they also increase limit of full upgrade, hopefully... but this is your chance for those who don't upgrade it to maximum yet.
