Probably an effort to revitalize the game in time for the Holidays. Just a guess though.
Idk, I don't think it's going to achieve that. Between the first competitive season of Sun+Moon starting and the fact that most people have keyed in to Go being nothing but a collectible card game sans the game... they need something else other than what are basically just new pokemon shaped baseball cards that you can't even trade.
I'll pull out my phone now and then in hopes of finding a Skarmory since he's my favorite, but certainly not as enthusiastic as I was before and 100~ more pokemon that I don't feel any obligation to collect isn't going to change that.

Gen. 2's starters were my favorite set mainly due to Totodile and Cyndaquil. Matter of fact, I've caught all 3 starters on my Pokemon Sun and plan to use them on my competetive team.

Winters here, I doubt many people are going to be super excited about this. Maybe at first since its being released, but when they have to hunt in the snow... lets see how long that lasts.

I'm somewhat sceptical about all this gen 2 stuff, I remember seeing a supposed rumour about this Starbucks collusion and a Dec 3rd gen 2 release and can't help but wonder if this is all just a re-hashed story.

Not motivated to return, and neither are my close friends. Its cold outside, and the tracking seems to still be the main issue. I'm glad they're still making efforts to improve, but it's just not there yet. Tracking, battling, trading and the game would be much more player-friendly.
Also, Bluestacks doesn't work. Not coming back to the game to catch 100 more pokemon in the cold (I loved gold/silver btw) because its stll just a crapshoot. No strategy involved, nothing. For Christ's sake, I can't even use it on my bike anymore like I used to.

The cold is becoming an issue here, also. Not enough motivation to spend an hour farming pokestops in 10-20* weather to have a weeks worth of balls.
I was able to hit a bunch of stops (~20 or so) on my way home while in my car around where the college is, but thats not something i'm really gonna be able to do often :\

So the December 12th update only features new Gen 2 pokemon acquired by hatching eggs, like Pichu and Togepi. Pretty disappointing. There was a lot of speculation that they were going to add 100 Gen 2 pokemon today. Oh well.

So, looks like my sister's issue is that she played on her work email and was laid off (she knew it was coming all year) and she thought she had transferred everything but it says her account is inactive.
She emailed Niantic and explained but all they did was blindly send her a troubleshooting guide.

Gen 2 (starts) tonight!
Pokemon Go said: Trainers,
Professor Willow has discovered Togepi and Pichu hatching from Eggs! Starting later today, Trainers will have the opportunity to hatch these and several other Pokémon that were originally discovered in the Johto Region in Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver video games. These are the first of more Pokémon coming to Pokémon GO over the next few months. Be sure to use the hashtag #PokemonGO on Twitter to share your experiences as you explore your local neighborhoods with family and friends, walk to hatch these Pokémon from Eggs, and register them to your collection this holiday season. We can’t wait to see what Pokémon you’ve hatched!
We also have another special treat for you. Starting later today through December 29, 2016, 10:00 A.M. PST, you’ll find limited edition Pikachu all over the world. These Pikachu will be wearing a festive hat to celebrate the season! Use the Pokémon GO AR camera when you encounter them in the wild to take their picture and share it with us using #HolidayPikachu.
Note this isnt a full gen 2 release, but we're getting some!

I wonder if it's like the Halloween event where they're more common or something cuz I got 2 Santa Pikachu today while at work.
I've seen one normal Pikachu period in like 5 months or so of the game. But I work in a more industrial area of Edmonton, and live in a tiny lil town outside of it - assuming the location makes a major difference for spawns and stuff. For the longest time this summer we had more Eevee's around here than anything. Which I won't complain about.

So for those who have Ditto. When it "turns into Ditto" is it at the "Here's what you caught!" Screen or is it only visible from your Pokemon Menu after the fact? I need to know when I should be disappointed.
That said, caught Santa Pikachu. Woo

Just a note: Pikachu keeps its santa hat when you evolve to raichu.

It transforms as soon as you catch it. There's an animation.
On the topic of ditto, my understanding is that it transforms into the first pokemon it fights. Does it stay as this pokemon permanently, even after being knocked out?
(i.e. I place my ditto into a gym, a rhydon attacks it, ditto transforms into rhydon... does it stay as rhydon even after being knocked out of the gym?)

Huge update coming to pokemon go.
Johnto Region pokemon, UI overhaul, new berries, new pokemon mechanics, and talks of trading and battling revamps.
Enough to win the players back?
Oh, tracking is never returning.

When is this happening ?
I Hear its going to be a big update on 1 year mark from release.
Hopes up :D
Also wish they would make Ditto a bit more Accessible (like make him transform but 1 or 2 details off) Doubt people enjoy trashing pokeballs on Pidgeys and Ratatas

Someone around here said a terrible thing, saying that heracross could be the asia exclusive. I don't want this to be true at all.
So they just announced this:

I realize the game itself won't look anything like this until maybe a decade or two of updates, if ever. Even so, I am happy to be alive in this day and age.
For perspective, it is very reminscent but NOT TO BE CONFUSED with Google's April Fool's joke:
