Gen 2 Parallel Universe?

I know this can only be speculation, but do you think it likely that Gen1 and Gen2 will inhabit the same "Universe"? So walking around would see both Gen1 and Gen2 spawns simultaneously? Or perhaps at log-in choose to play in either generation... If they are all together then collectors/hoarders would have to do some serious pruning of Pokemon storage space (or Niantic would graciously allow the option to buy more space..). Or would Gen1 be "frozen" with what we have collected up to now (excepting those that exist in Gen2 - eevee,etc?) Just idly wondering about the possibilities...

The best practice for Niantic is to release gen2 in a parallel universe, perhaps it has been released, but we would never know.

And would trainers be able to bring dust, candy, pokemon or items from their Gen1 version? If crossover allowed, that would effectively double the number of gyms a player could be in (but I suppose could still be limited to 10 coins/day).

One universe, some of the Gen 1 get evolutions in Gen 2. It would be cool if there were mulitiverses with different pokestops and gyms.

Gen2 was pretty closely tied together with Gen1, and IIRC there was a lot of overlap in available pokemon. There are not a whole lot of new pokemon either, so I don't think Niantic really needs to start "retiring" pokemon until they get closer to releasing Gen3.

I don't think so, the easiest and better way to do it is just put all gen2 mons by removing most of useless spawns from gen1, since they added a lot of more spawns during time I only see the same mon again and again and again, pidgey, rattata, zubat, weedle, eevee, ekans...remove most of that spawns and add gen2 ones, not all of course for new players, but 9/10 of my spawns are these mons, make it 2/10 and you have space for those new gen2 mons.

Since they already released the Gen 2 babies in the Gen 1 universe, I don't think Gen 2 will be in a parallel universe. It is an interesting thought, though.
