PokemonGo #9. A journey to hatch a 10km egg starts with a single step.

It is technically cheating, same as maps, scanners and IV calculators. It was talked about on the last thread too. I would have no chance of catching the regionals myself so I have no problem with someone else doing it for me. I could have asked family who are going to New York and Australia(with Asia stopover) to get them for me. It's personal choice completely. I'm only Level 27 and have caught, hatched, walked and evolved all the others. I just wanted them to complete my Pokedex.

My new go plus caught a cp 1400 magmar! Nearly out of red balls already though and only used it a couple of times. Maybe need to buy a bigger rucksack

Yeah my highest is a Rhydon at 1812. Im pretty chuffed at that!

But I've seen people with Pokemon like 2000 and even 3000+

I don't get the fun of getting someone else to catch your Pokemon either. It seems so pointless. I wouldn't use even use a scanner. I think that's one of the reasons my pokemon are quite crappy compared to most of the other higher level players. 😂

Oh yes absoutely

I understand that. I won't be able to get all the regionals either, but it just wouldn't feel right to me to cheat to get them.

Each to their own, though.

I suppose it is yes but with regional Pokémon, I don't have the money to jet abroad to where I need to go. This is the only way to fill my pokedex

My issue isn't with whether or not they're trustworthy, it's the cheating aspect.

I know but I've been a member for a few weeks now and there's been nothing but praises for the certified hunters

So I've changed my password to a temporary one ready and I'll change it again when I've got my account back

Regional hunter group on fb

You sign up to it and apply to have someone hunt for you

You then give them access to your account and they get the Pokémon you've been looking for

What's the hunter group on FB? Not heard of it before.

Soubriquet I used the regional hunter group and had no problems at all, got all 5 of the regionals over a few days. They've started doing Unown hunts too, so I got one the other night. Got a metal coat from a random spin the other day, so just need more Scyther candy and I can get Scizor, then I'll have all the evolution item ones. Still not seen hide nor hair of Larvitar/Pupitar/Tyranitar, so that's the only one I can't walk.

3 to go here- Ampharos, Kingdra, Sunflora. I have the candies for the last 2 just waiting for an item. My Flaafy has 56 candy so I've got a looong wait. My last few 10k have been Larvitar or Dratini,

My eggs have been terrible too. Ive not got anything of any interest out of a 10k for ages and ages, in fact I've only been getting pineco from them for the last few months. I once saw one in the wild so I presume the other 11 I've caught must be the last 11 eggs I've hatched. 😡😡😡. I'm careful to vary where I get the eggs from but it's tricky to plan.

I don't bother spending my pokecoins on incubators.

I give up. I've made a list of my last egg hatches - 5k Staryu
5k Drowzee
10k Mantine
5k Paras
5k Shellder
2k Nidoran
2k Gastly
10k Gilgar

It's really not encouraging me to play. I started that list after having a crap run of eggs, haven't had anything good for weeks.

When you're at the stage where you only need a few particular mons and just need to walk for miles buddying it's pretty boring.

I'm going to give the Pokemon hunter group on fb a go

Let's see if I can get a Taurus

Am I really really addicted?! I keep thinking I should give up, Im a middle aged woman who should know better

Hmm, I wonder these things too. 🤔

tumpymummy Oh I absolutely would have done that! Always need more Pikachu's

Am I mad?! Was just on my way to bed around midnight when I noticed that there was a pikachu at the end of our road! So I went out and caught it! Would you have done that!? Am I really really addicted?! I keep thinking I should give up, Im a middle aged woman who should know better. My kids gave up ages ago and think I am mad. But the walking ties in nicely with counting my steps every day.

I only two more horsea to evolve my seadra...but I need the special stone first and I don't seem to get them

Somewhat

Pockets? Bags? Change container in the car? I'm sure you've already checked those places though Mine lives by my car keys next to the front door or in my hand

I find they are easy to lose in bags. One look isn't always enough.

Bored of it at the moment - excited to get a magikarp outside the house earlier though
Looking forward to playing in America!

Thanks, tumpymummy. I'm sure it'll pop up another time! My 10k hatch was an aerodactyl. Fab, but I've got one and want a Lapras. Ungrateful I know!
2k hatched into a Cleffa on my pre work walk - a new one, so pleased with this. Only another 10k to walk the onix until I can evolve him :)

I've got plenty of Taurus from a trip to the states last year and am hoping to get a farfetched and a Kanggaskhan from a trip to Australia in July. We are stopping off in Singapore one way and Hong Kong (I think) on the other. They are fairly quick stopovers so I'm researching the airports for wifi and poke stops and stocking up on lures, incense and balls. I'll be ok to get the kangaskhan but the farfetchd will be a challenge. I've warned DH that I'll be ignoring him.

I wouldn't be interested to have them caught for me I've got to catch em all myself !

I'm more than half way through level 36 and keep telling myself I'm going to give up. I love doing gyms. It's all Valor and Mystic around here and I'm Valor and as long as I drive out of town I can usually find some gym worth fighting or prestiging up. I found a lovely 8 level Valor gym today.
