Investing with stardust
I just hit level 30 and power up cost is starting to become real expensive. With Gen 2 coming up and most likely 'Highest DPS per type' list would be rearranged once again, should i continue to invest in High strong and IV pokemon or should i wait until Gen 2 is released? These changes are extremely annoying and is starting to piss me off because we all invest in pokemons for Niantic to mess it up for us not once but twice. I feel like Niantic should reimburse us with stardust for the hassle.

There are only 3 guys I'm powering up past 30. The rest are sitting there at 30. I'm starting to save stardust now for Gen 2. Who knows what changes might come and they may do another nerf/buff tweak. Having said that here are the 3 I'm powering up:
1) Snorlax 80%IV (ZH/BS)
2) Gyarados 96%IV (Bite/DP)
3) Arcanine 96%IV (FF/Flamethrower)
In Gen 2 I'm going to need a lot of stardust to power up my evolved Eevees, Slowking, BellAwesome and Politoed. Collecting the candies for them now.
Save your stardust!
I'm pretty much using level 30 as my ceiling (only two, I think, went to level 31). Most of my top tier are around levels 27-30 and do what I need them to at those levels. I'm spending stardust only on ones that I have recently obtained (like a hatched Rhyhorn that I evolved into a Rhydon with Mud Slap/EQ -- FINALLY!). So it's getting dust as quickly as I earn candies from my buddy. I want to get these last few up to my top tier level. But outside of a few exceptions like that, I'm banking my dust for what might be coming.
