I recently completed the Pokedex, I'm very excited about this update!

Pokémon fans never stopped :)
Uh, yes, we did. The only people who still play are the ones that can actually catch Pokémon. it should be called Pokémon city because once you leave the city you see nothing at all. 80 new Pokémon that are impossible to find won't help the numbers.

I am glad the game is playable for you though.

Pokemon > Pokemen for plural??
Isn't Pokemon comes from the word Pocket Monster?
I always thought the plural of Pokémon was Pokémon.
 
If you get enough Pikachu candies, you can evolve a Christmas Pikachu into a Christmas Raichu (though I don't know if that still works now). And just in the past week (I started on day 1) I got my first two Snorlax and my first Grimer, all caught in the wild, and all in places I'd often visited many times previously. I've been looking in vain for a Snorlax for all these months, and now I found two. Now if a Lapras would show up, I'd have all the ones I care about. I was actually wondering if they bumped up the rates on the more elusive spawns ahead of the Gen 2 release, to let people finish out the first part of the Pokedex. All that said, I'm not playing the way I was back in the warmer months.
[doublepost=1487223717][/doublepost]Ah, okay. I guess I used it mostly for podcasts (Overcast) and audiobooks (Audible), both good on long walks. Turning up the volume enough to listen to speech, and then having a Pokemon spawn take the top of your head off, was not a good experience. (In their other game, Ingress, one can set sounds and in-game background music to off/low/med/high - I really wish PoGo took this approach.)
Ahhhh! I need to dust off my game and get myself a Snorlax and a Lapras! Thanks for the tips!

I remember when I searched in vain for Meowths. Now I've caught over 20 during my last road trip.

I do miss being able to catch Pokémon and supplies from the car as a passenger.

It's live and servers are obviously getting very slammed. So much for the idea that nobody would come back.
