Main Points

 * Very stormy day in Long Beach, which means Nick can calm down about Gen 2
 * New trainer customization options available for purchase
 * A lot of movesets for existing pokemon have changed
 * Lapras has been nerfed to make up for it not being nerfed with the last CP adjustment
 * Everything about moves and damage per second has changed, even animations
 * Old pokemon can evolve and get new movesets; they’re not locked in
 * Nick got a flash flood alert and his apartment is leaking (but it’s been cleaned)
 * Nick lists the new top quick moves: Dragon Breath, Scratch, Counter
 * Nick lists the new top charge moves: Brave Bird, Futuresight, Close Combat, Stone Edge
 * Nick lists which eggs gen 2 pokemon are found in
 * New evolution mechanics: Evolution items introduced, found in Pokestops, seems to be on 7th day streak
 * Eevee nickname tricks: Espeon = Sakura, Umbreon = Tamao
 * Some evidence that if you walk 10K with an Eevee and evolve during the day or night, you’ll get Espeon or Umbreon
 * Evolved Espeon, Umbreon, Blissey, Hitmonlee, Crobat
 * Not sure how Tyrogue evolves yet, but some evidence it will be stat-based like in main series
 * Zubat and Horsea evolution cost decreased to 25 candies
 * Catch mechanics: new movement patterns, new berries (calm movement, increase candy) but only one berry per ball, indicator of which berry’s been used, bonus for first ball, critical catch where it doesn’t shake and has swirly stars
 * New medals: One for Johto (catch 70), one for dark types, also for Unown
 * Medals will eventually unlock certain things, but not yet
 * More candy for catching evolved pokemon: second stage worth 5 candy, third stage worth 10 candy, also increased Stardust
 * Togetic appearing in the wild but harder to catch than Dragonite
 * Smeargle and Delibird haven’t been spotted in the wild yet
 * Heracross seems to be Central/South America region exclusive (including Florida)
 * Ditto confirmed to come from Sentret, Hoothoot, Yanma
 * Unown is confirmed released, but rare, don’t know if all letters are available or available everywhere
 * Nest migration happened after launch, though not all nests changed
