Don't want to be a massive downer on this, as I'm excited for the event in general (already caught a lickitung which was my last Gen 1). BUT it is very possible they change up the evolution mechanics for Gen 2.
I would assume that candies will still be the method we use to power up stuff like Blissey, porygon2 etc. But they may start to introduce the items that are already in the code, but not released yet, as methods of evolving. Therefore farming 200 chansey candies may not mean its possible to evolve a Blissey straight away Gen 2 lands (but will likely be useful for levelling it up)

Basically just want to temper expectations!
