That's right bitches, Niantic is thanking the community for being awesome. They are rewarding us with double XP and Stardust from right now (Nov 23 00:00 UTC) to Nov 30 00:00 UTC. This is a great chance to level up. As we all know, once you hit the higher levels, it becomes a slow grind.

Go out, get some exercise, make a friend!

I'm actually not that crazy for double exp, as I'm just trying to max out the CP for my pokes, but this gives more stardust, so I'll def do some restocking tomorrow.

Awesome, time to start my evolution spree.

Here's another interesting update. Locating pokemon by pokestops seems to have gone public now... at least for me. I can find pokemon nearby stops now. Did everyone else get this update too?

Here's another shocking reveal. You can catch ditto in the wild now!

...only problem is, ditto only reveals itself after you've caught a random pokemon. Seems like you can't just skip those excess of pidgey, rattata and other high CP pokemon anymore... (´･ω･`)

Hasn't updated for me.

I've caught 2 Dittos from Rattatas and 1 from a Magikarp. Gym battles are a little more interesting now when you encounter them. The CP they have isn't the CP you will be figting/defending with. Since Ditto transforms to what he's fighting and scales CP based on his level.

Also this double experience has really helped me, in one day alone. I just reached level 33 over the weekend and I need 1 Million experience to get to level 34. I'm getting to level 34 faster than I was getting to level 33. To get to 33, it was 750,000 experience. Now my 1 Million has cut in half to 500,000.

I guess they're still rolling that pokestop pokemon locating feature to certain regions. Wooo Texas be gettin' it~

Also, still haven't found a ditto... T_T

It's been 1 day since the double XP has been out and I almost have half a million XP since it started. 😅

Man, I only did like 75, 000 exp since the event started...
