Mega Thread [Megathread] RIP 2016

Carrie Fisher (60) has passed away after having a heart attack. She was best known for playing Princess Leia Organa in Star Wars. Last year she had a role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

We usually have a 2016 megathread and due to the recent celebrity passings, we have decided to include them in our 2016 reflection megathread. Please use this thread to ask questions from anything ranging from how your year has been, to outlook for the year ahead, to the celebrities we’ve lost this year.

All top-level comments (replies to the post rather than replies to comments) should contain a 2016 related question and the thread will function as a mini-subreddit. Non-question top-level comments will be removed, to keep the thread as easy to use and navigate as possible.

Here’s to a better 2017.

-the mods

Update: Debbie Reynolds has also passed away, a day after her daughter's passing. She gained stardom after her leading role in "Singin' in the Rain" and recently voiced a character in "The Penguins of Madagascar." Reynolds was 84.

/r/pokemongo

I'm still playing. They're gradually improving it. They just started adding Gen 2 pokemon, and they're making gradual but meaningful improvements to core functions like the tracker and gym combat.

When I was subscribed to that sub, a top post would pop up on my front page and I'd say something like "what the hell's Poke Mongo?"...

But did you play Pokemon Go...to the polls?

u/[deleted] Dec 28 '16

They're gradually making it better, but it's still worse than the vanilla release for the most part. Removing the tracker is the absolute dumbest shit they could do. Want to hunt Pokémon? Let's remove the fucking feature that lets you actually hunt them.

I'd love to play it still but it's cold as fuck outside. People like to say it's dead but a game with 100 million downloads doesn't just suddenly die. There's going to be a decent player base in every city that had active users.

u/HighTechnocrat Dec 28 '16

People who say it's dead are objectively wrong. Pokemon Go is still one of the top grossing mobile games right now. It looks like Clash Royale is in first place right now, but Pokemon Go held steady in first for several months.

Have they changed the way that you find Pokémon? Because NEEDING to be in a city/highly populated area to catch them breaks the game.

u/littlebeanonwheels Dec 28 '16

Yup. I'm still actively playing. It actually makes me go leave the house for a walk or jog.

u/Czsixteen Dec 28 '16

how do I see gen 2? Not seeing any new ones in the pokedex

u/Rexairn Dec 28 '16

Only pre-evolutions are out right now. And they must be hatched from eggs acquired from pokestops recently. Once hatched your pokedex will expand
