I wonder if you will be able to TM into the special moves during that time, my 97% tyranitar would love to have Smack Down.

If this is anything like last few community days most of the spawns will still be pidgeys

You've never been able to TM the special moves so I wouldn't count on it.

I missed Dratini day entirely so that's cool, even if Draco Meteor Dragonite has sub optimal DPS or whatever.

This is the best thing they could have done. You're not missing anything if you can't do it, if you missed a day in the past you can still get it, and if you're like my wife and didn't consider that your shiny new monster might need candy to power up, you can ameliorate that.

And it runs long enough that everyone, no matter their work schedule, should be able to do it.

Most of my 2k item stash is taken up by piles of crappy potions and revives, which I end up trashing on a regular basis. I really wish they'd let you trade in several basic items for their upgraded counterparts.

Wouldn’t really help given how often I end up trashing Max Potions and Max Revives.

Now trading in anything for regular Pokeballs would be awesome. I’d happily trade ten Ultra Balls for each regular Pokeball.

My wife wants to know if you go to your mission capture queue, and you run away again, does it go to the back of the line or stay where it is?

I can't tell her because I don't know and just emptied my queue.

Do we know for sure yet about Sinnoh Stone storage (re: upthread assertions that you can only have one at a time)?

Only slightly related: if I've got a delicious, thirst-quenching Roserade in hand and it's got Razor Leaf and Sludge Bomb, is it worth using Fast TMs to try and get a poison fast attack? Or is this fine as-is? (It's not 100% IV either, though it's probably not a slouch.) I don't normally care a ton about attacks (I'm pretty casual) but figure I should use some of my TMs which are otherwise just eating up space.

I just did my research for the week and now have 2 sinnoh stones so the one at a time theory is false.

I made mine double Poison. It's the best Poison attacker, poison doesn't seem very useful right now but I guess there will be more Fairy types later that it hits super effectively.
It's also the best Grass attacker apparently, but there are a lot more options there.

In general it is more useful to have both moves be the same type, as both attacks will be super effective against the same mons and you can choose more easily. Well, except for Fairy, where there is no fast attack. I'm not sure if Roserade would be a good Fairy attacker.

Why did I have to get back into this game just as the "your hands fall off if you try use your phone outside" months rolled around?

Evolved a Magnemite into a Magenton today - noticed I dont have the option to evolve it again - I thought Magnezone was a Sinnoh poke - or is this just a side effect how the roll out new regions in phases? Now that I think of it, I haven't heard anything about Leafeon or Glaceon yet either.

The fact that I am freezing my rear end off any time I go outside and can't get a Glaceon annoys me.

I thought about a cold temperature being the requirement for Glaceon would be neat, until I realized that'd be all I could evolve my eevees into for like 4 months straight.

If they just gave 50 free slots like they have in the past it would encourage people to spend money on additional space. That's what they've done in the past. Now that I think of it, I don't remember seeing any announcement for the added space in game.
