I started playing again once the Valentine's event started (after stopping around the end of the New Year event). Unfortunately, I only found one Clefairy throughout the whole event so I'm still missing Clefable by about four Candy. I used the halved Buddy steps to get Ninetails at last and then onto Growlithe (but still need another 4 Candy to get Arcanine). Rather than Buddy-up Clefairy though, I think I'll just wait to hatch a Cleffa. Once I've got those sorted, I'll only need Charizard, Machamp, Muk, Omastar and Dragonite to finish all possible Kanto Pokémon.
It is refreshing to see the Johto Pokémon now, I'm off work this weekend and for the first time since August last year I actually feel like going on a walk just to capture some new monsters. Obviously, this hype will wear off again within a month or so but it's still a nice feeling and a way to kill some time. So far, I've managed to get: Sentret, Furret, Hoothoot, Noctowl, Ledyba, Ledian, Spinarak, Crobat, Chinchou, Igglybuff, Natu, Xatu, Marill, Azumarill, Hoppip, Aipom, Wooper, Espeon, Umbreon, Murkrow, Swinub, Piloswine, Elekid, Magby, and Blissey from Gen 2 - and that's just from walking to/from work once and booting up the game in my house a few times.
I'm a little disappointed at some of the 10km Egg Pokémon though, which I really think should be 5km Eggs, mainly Mareep and Pineco. I think Wobbuffet should have been 10km and those two 5km. I also don't get why Smoochum has stayed as a 10km Egg when the rest of the Baby Pokémon were moved to 2 or 5km, especially as Jynx is more common than the others.
I like some of the new Trainer Style options, but I can't see myself paying so many PokéCoins for them when I'd rather get Incubators.
