Hmmm... not really! I mean, sort of. I like to keep one Pokemon of every evolution, so I save a few in case I'm going to evolve some into generation 2 Pokemon. I also catch everything I see that has a future evolution, like Onix, so that I'll be able to evolve them sooner :)

Are you making preparations for the hopefully eventual release of Generation II Pokémon? If so, what are your plans?
Not much.. I just catch things as I normally would without gen II in my thoughts. I am happy having a hefty bit of Scyther candy though, since Scizor's coming out at some point in the near future. Always nice knowing I've been collecting.

Yep, I'm doing this as well. Hoarding a ton of Poliwag candy for Politoed, Oddish candy for Bellossom, Chansey candy for Blissey, etc.
I'm closing in on 600 Eevee candies...

There are many ways players can potentially trade in the future. What would your ideal trading system look like?
For fairness' sake I'd like it if you could only trade with nearby players. Would completely defeat the point of the game if you could trade with anyone across the world like in main series Pokémon games, though I doubt Niantic would do that haha. Makes it too easy. Maybe put a daily/weekly limit on trading so people don't quickly fill their dex by trading with someone who has mostly everything already? We'd need some sort of limit at the very least or I can see this game becoming too easy for many people given that collecting's the main point.

I get your concerns, but it also almost defeats the purpose of trading by only allowing it with nearby players, right? The pokemon I would most want to trade for are those I do not yet have, namely the regional exclusives. If I can't trade with someone for a Mr. Mime, Farfetch'd, or Kangaskhan, I will never ever ever get one. Is there a chance that someone near me has one? Sure, but what are the odds they're going to want to trade it with me given that I live in America and they probably don't have enough to the point where they'd be willing to trade one.
I would like to see as you mention some sort of limit to trading, though. I don't want it to be so easy for me to access the pokemon I need. If I can only do a limited number of trades, or a limited number of trades for the pokemon I need, or if it costs something to trade, or something along those lines, it would make me think about trading wisely.

I personally noticed a higher success rate with starter Pokémon as I haven't had a single one escape from me since the update.
Could just be luck, of course ;)

I play during my commute to and from work and when I run errands on Sunday.

Thank you to everyone who have participated in this activity!
I will no longer be maintaining this thread as it's a little too much work for me to keep track of each day. If someone would like to continue this activity, let me know via PM and I can arrange something.

In any given day, when do you usually play Pokémon GO?
It's hard to say. Almost always when I go out unless I need to preserve battery, so it can be during the day when I'm out for interviews or other tasks, or at night when I hang out with little brother to play. So it's extremely varied.
Bummer you can't maintain it anymore. =( I did think a question a day was too much though. Tiring to think of topics and remember posting them each day. Weekly might've been less exhausting?

Does anyone on here from America have Mr Mime like I do but I'm from the UK?
