Dishonored 2 review | Eurogamer.net

Arkane manages to better the already exceptional Dishonored in nearly every way, creating a masterpiece of open-ended design. I wanted to save everybody in Dishonored 2.

Gen 2 is finally here and with it come not just new Pokémon, like Kingdra, but new items like the Dragon Scale, too. That, in turn, means new methods for evolution: the Dragon Scale was used for evolving Kingdra in the main Pokémon games by having it hold the item when being traded - a mechanic that's not in Pokémon Go at all as things stand.
