"Stones" -- for Xmas idea
I was just daydreaming while I did my walk today about what I would add to Pokemon Go. Since it uses "Candies" for all evolves this frees up the idea of stones to be something completely different.
I was thinking, what if Stones were special items that could be given to players as "Xmas Gifts" or come super super super rare from a Pokestop. ((Sort of the equivalent of a Dragonite Spawning or Perfect IV Pokemon. Talking like 1/10000 chance of a stone))
So with that kind of rarity, it was okay for me to come up with Overpowered Stones like this
Each stone would open up a window to pick which pokemon to use it on.
a) Evolvment Stone: this would fully evolve any 1 pokemon, no candy necessary
b) Training Stone: this would fully power up any 1 pokemon to max level it could be based on trainer
c) Empowerment Stone: this would 3 points to each IV (keeping the same 15 max)
d) Teaching Stone: This would let you select 1 move and replace it with another eligible move.
Also for funs, sake, if they gave you 1 each of those stones for Xmas, what would you use them on or would you save them?

that would be very interesting indeed, good idea
but still, unfortunately, rural players will be disappointed because the more pokestops you have, the more chances you have to find it. But yea, pokestops are the only way to get items (besides lvl up). Pokestops are life ^^
But the concept of different stones is great !
Niantic must already have plans for new items, this could be one of them :p
I wouldn't make it buyable with Pokecoins.
Those ideas are too Overpowered for them to be common.
I'd give everyone 1 of each for Xmas Bonus. So players would get 1 a year then I'd make them come from Pokestops with about the same frequence of Catching a Perfect IV mon or Wild Dragonite.
So maybe if you played a ton, you'd get 1 every couple months
