Gen 2 goes live in 2 hours?
Some rumors out there that Gen 2 will be going live at 0:00UTC which is in about 2 hours.
Oh I sure hope these rumors are true.
Let's GO!

It totally depends on how much you value XP. If you can catch some new mons in 30 minutes, it will give you extra XP. But probably not at the rate of evolving a bunch of Pidgeys over a 30-minute period.
I will personally put a lucky egg on the minute I see a new mon. I'm crazy for XP though and don't care about squeezing every drop of value from my lucky eggs.
Your mileage may vary.
It would be very odd to implement Gen 2 on a Friday or Saturday.
Moreover the 18th was only when that one German store was going to have a promotion. No reason it can't be released earlier. What does a German shopping mall know anyways?
Also there was a pokemon newsletter that went out recently (today) that said look for new pokemon "today".
Also, pokemon storage was supposed to be cheaper today. It hasn't been pushed through yet. IOS update is now out and I believe the game is forcing you to update now in order to play.
I bet the pokemon storage update to be cheaper goes live when Gen 2 does. Then people will want to buy the extra storage for the new items and pokemon.
It all seems to be lining up...
