Storage
How much storage do you have (mons and items)? Will they give extra pokemons storage after releasing gen2?
Answers
850 items, 500 mons, I wish they add 50/100 more mon space with gen 2 release but I won't count on it, everything Niantic is doing lately is mostly income oriented, the new tracker system (get people to big stores or places where they have deals with, since the new tracker I haven't seen any rare mon around me), the week of double items from stops (get people to fill their bags so they expend money on more bag space), same with lowering the rate on revives and increasing again the normal potion and pokeballs ones, you have 2 options, delete pokeballs and potions or get more space if you want enough revives to fight gyms, also the events.
Yes, it's very nice to have double xp, stardust and candies from everything, but we know they actually get a LOT of money from people buying incubators, so my guess is gen 2 release, same space, get people to buy mon space at least 400/600 coins per player.
1000 items, and 500 pokemon. Level 33 free player (all coins collected from gyms), with relatively easy access to pokestops. I've always felt that, for a free player especially, permanent upgrades are a much better way to spend pokecoins than buying consumable items.
It still seems like I'm always running low on balls and potions/revives, even though I rarely have less than 700 items. When I run low on potions, it seems like all I ever get from pokestops are balls, and vice versa. Been throwing away a lot of pokeballs lately to make room for potions and revives.
500 pokemon storage is more than enough at the moment, as I try to keep my pokemon list manageable.
Are you serious? Do you really think that you having access to get 10 gyms per day everyone has? Think about a bit before saying anything, a LOT of people have access to only 1 or 2 gyms on their area, or even if they can access more the turnover rate (players and bots) is so high that they can only get 3 or 4 gyms per day, I can get like 6-7 but I have been to smaller towns and I know that's not the case for most of the players.
It's not my case but I have to say that the answer is of course NO, new prestige system does not help anything keeping a gym, attacking a gym and take it down is just a mater of time, nothing more, not even skill, just time and potions/revives.
The thing I am trying to say is, imagine a town with 1 or 2 gyms (there are a lot more than you think), and like 100 people playing the game on that town, do you really think they have the same game as you? They barely can get 10 coins per day, it would make 20 days to just an storage/mon upgrade, almost a month, and the game has been out only 5 months...That's what I am trying to say, that's one of the reasons they should increase the mon space for free, not everyone lives in Santa Monica, or New York close to Central Park (just pointed 2 huge examples), probably 80%-90% of the players are not in these kind of areas, they have to think about their players more, and they are not doing that (for example the new tracking is pointing to a pokestop I have a km from my house since they launched it, even havng like 10 spawns 100m from my house...).
Try to think about it, probably 95% + of the players can't get 100 coins per day like you can ;)
That doesn't make sense to me if on that area have a few gym but many people playing why don't they make a request then. The problem is not the developer or the game but the player itself , they just have to change their tactic to get more coin not just repeat the same less effective plan or just lazy. Next time show some case that not too specific.
This current gym system is too helpful enough for most people don't make it even more easier.
Make a request? Niantic does not accept any new pokestops / gym request since almost the beggining of the game lol. Change their tactic? What tactic can you have if you only have one or two gyms in your town? Again you are just talking without even thinking ;)

How do I create a new PokéStop or Gym
Please note, we are currently not accepting submissions for new PokéStops or Gyms.
If you are having trouble finding PokéStops or Gyms near you, please try visiting a local park or other interesting or historical locations in your community.
That's everything, again as I said, not everyone lives on the same area as you ;)
