The location thing I a bit disappointing. Just says the city. I thought it would be a smidge more accurate like the area instead.

Yeh I did think it'd be pins in a map like the Pokemap was. So you'd know the street. That would've been better. Although as it can't even get the town right, not sure how accurate that would've been.

That name change worked for the first three goes but not since.

nuttelladreams · 24/09/2016 12:41

Jelly are you changing the Eve's name before you evolve it? It works most of the times when you do.
If you want a vaporeon you have to name it Rainer before you evolve it. For me it worked 2 out of 3 times.

On other news I opened my Pokemon while at work just to catch another pidgey and low and behold there was a snorlax right here! U had one from an egg and had never even seen a shadow of one until today.

Yeah I set off for a walk hoping to finally get a butter egg but poof it seems to have gone and I will never know if butter eggs hatched something decent or not

MagikarpetRide · 24/09/2016 12:13

make I was about to post that too. Have just gotten out and about and was hoping to feed an egg some butter

MakeMyWineADouble · 24/09/2016 12:06

Also is has anyone else found you can't swipe left on potions to see the incubator since the update?

JellyWitch · 24/09/2016 11:59

It's definitely the location of the egg that shows up as the location.

I am struggling with my Eevees. Just evolved a couple and ended up with jolteons again. I have lots of candy but Pokemon from nests have rubbish IVs so I need to keep pinning down the Eevees that spawn more randomly if I want a Vaporeon army.

I also need to find or hatch a good Growlithe. I have access to a great beat but they all have dreadful appraisals.

emmaluvseeyore · 24/09/2016 11:24

FrogTime, lures don't draw in Pokémon already on your sightings, they just spawn different ones. Thought you might want to know that so you don't waste them in future. It's the same with incense.

MakeMyWineADouble · 24/09/2016 11:12

I was going to ask if it was location it hatched or where you got the egg. If it's where you got the egg that seems to confirm for me eggs are pre determined when they drop

MagikarpetRide · 24/09/2016 09:17

Location for my catches shows either where I am or about 5 miles away. Which includes two I caught yesterday one after the other Confused. Though one I've hatched gives the location of where I must have got the egg so that's sort of cool.

Shadow of hitmonchan showed up yesterday but didn't actually appear. Wasted a lure trying to get it.
Going for a walk around town today so hoping to get some more of my 10k egg done - really want something new!

Just downloaded the new update. The location thing is a good idea. Mine isn't right though. A drowzee I just caught says it was caught in a town about 15 miles away from where I am. A few of the early ones I caught which I know were in my town show the same wrong location.
Not too bad though. I like the feature.

I got my gyarados tonight!

It's a student then. Heavy student population including overseas or someone who has played abroad.

Farfetched hasn't been released here yet

They can be hatched by spoofed eggs but are not supposed to be in the uk yet

Just like Tauros

EverySongbirdSays · 23/09/2016 18:19

Farfetch'd has just been released here - someone has seen it in a gym by me, but it's a student area - could be a student. I hope I don't get 'made' as I'm giving myself away by making the same comments here as in my local group

Soubriquet · 23/09/2016 18:19

How strange

Wonder if you can only do it when an egg is at a certain point

Or maybe it's a different egg altogether

EnidButton · 23/09/2016 18:13

Mine didn't work either. Can't click on it. It's a mystery!

Soubriquet · 23/09/2016 18:08

Yes I saw that bit but it's empty!

Can I only feed potions just before it hatches?

MagikarpetRide · 23/09/2016 18:03

Of course this was always going to happen, because I decided to get rid of all my potions except the maximum restore ones as I barely used them

EnidButton · 23/09/2016 18:00

Click on potions then swipe left Sou, the icon at the bottom right changes to the incubator one.

Soubriquet · 23/09/2016 17:50

So you can feed potions to eggs now? When can you do that?

When I swiped nothing happened. My egg section was empty and I am definitely incubating an egg

dillite · 23/09/2016 17:46

Butter eating pokemon eggs? What the feckity feck?

I have run out of balls, it's quite terrible really, especially as I had more than 200 on Monday. Well, will have to wait until tomorrow to stock up on some more.

I have been wondering, having watched some old Pokemon episodes, do we get to catch/ hatch Mewto/ Farfetched/ Molters/ Zapdos/ Articuno or Ditto?
