No discount for Pokémon storage?
I guess not this time. For Gen II they lowered it 50%, for Gen III they gave us 50 for free, this time...nothing. Disappointed.

Discounts are generally used to get more people buying. I think this storage increase is so long overdue that plenty of people are shelling out their coins regardless, so Niantic doesn't see any need to discount it. They are a business after all. But I do think 50 for free would have been good practice, since they've added more pokemon to the game.
When the Jotho 50% discount came out, I used all my coins and any future coins I gained until I reached the then maximum of 1000, even though I didn't need anywhere near that amount at the time.
In combination with what other people have said, I suspect they didn't release a discount as they felt they would get more money without a discount.
