Is there an egg bug? So I had 9/9 eggs this morning. I had a 2km one at 1.9 when i left for work and started walking, I had the app open and was kind of checking my phone but mostly not trying to miss my train. When I got on the train, I checked my eggs and the 2km egg was gone, although I never saw the hatching thing pop up. To my surprise though, I still had 9/9 eggs, and including a 10km egg that was definitely not there before. Is it possible for an egg to hatch another egg? Am I losing my mind? I do get spotty cell service near the train station sometimes...

Yeah I've completely lost interest in this now.

Punishing me for progressing is pretty much the fastest way to make me find something else to do.

Everything gets harder to catch, while at the same time being less interesting.

I'll catch a pidgey on my way to work, sure. I was excited to catch a pidgey on my way to work at the beginning. But past 20 it takes multiple balls and a good minute of standing there, and I don't even care because I have a thousand of the things.

Increasing effort for diminishing rewards = nope, especially in a game that's supposed to fit into daily life.

so, you want the CP level of the pokemon to remain constant despite increases in your level? or do you want low level people to encounter high CP level pokemon? or are you referring to something else?

it has been confirmed that as you level up your capture rate decreases.

as a side note I hope they release Johto before 2017...

I don't care about the CP of 95% of the pokemon I catch. They are just candies. A 300CP pidgey is the same as a 50 CP pidgey, and even a 50CP pidgey seems to escape more often at lv20 than it did at lv1. Thus, it is much, much more annoying to gather candy at lv20 than it is at lv1, and I need exponentially more of it at the same time.

I'm okay with needing more resources at higher level, that's just standard grind. Although it's annoying, I would perhaps be okay with resources being harder to gather if that effort were rewarded. The combination of both at once means I'd rather stay lv1 forever, and that's just stupid.

Ultimately it's a personal threshold. Other people seem happy to keep playing and that's fine. I'm not, unless something changes.

At lvl 26 a sub 100cp pidgey breaking out of 2-3 great throws is pretty dumb and way too common. Either stop giving high level players super low cp and iv pokemon or dont make it take so much to catch ones much lower than your level.

well, that would just be more anecdotal. i can still catch pidgeys, snakes, paras, etc. with the quick throw. more run away (at least in mind), but i dont recall how many ran away when they were low level because i wasnt really paying attention.

when he said it was confirmed, i hope he meant from data mining or actual research.

I dunno if I like the whole CP system. My biggest reason though is that I can't get a level 80 raticate and hyper fang everything to death like I used to do in blue/red.

Also, the city advantage is too huge right now. Even going from the bronx to manhattan is like a 5-fold increase in pokemon and pokestops.

If they do introduce Johto pokemon I'll bet they'll all have higher max CPs than the Kanto ones. This way they can keep the "endgame" going for quite a while - basically using the MMO method of raising the level cap every so often

Personally I hope they spread the johto pokemon in a more meaningful way. With 250+ they have enough that they can limit them on a state/country scale while leaving enough diversity for local players, which would encourage travel.

Niantic has so far done basically nothing that I would have suggested, though, so I'm not holding out hope.

yeah if they bring in johto they really need to make the pokemon spawn more region/area specific.
in sydney there is literally 1 suburb EVERYONE flocks to because it spawns practically everything. theres like hundreds of people sitting in a park at 3am on a weekday. thats just stupid.
also they shuold increase spawn slightly in lower populated areas and maybe add some more pokestops in these areas too.
