So I was just down at the park near my house, hitting up all the pokestops down there and stuff, when all of a sudden an alakazam pops up on everyone's sightings. People were going all over the place trying to find it but I'm pretty sure no one did- not even the guy with the tracker app. After a while it despawned, and that was that. It was so terrible, we all knew it was somewhere but not a single person came across it before it went away >.<
On the bright side though, I did get a 400-something tauros and evolved my evee into a vaporeon, so the day wasn't a complete loss. That alakazam was really a bad time, though. It's like the game was teasing us all.

I hope Niantic changes the randomness of certain Pokemon evolving. The biggest example being eevee, when they add umbreon and espeon are they going to add nicknames for them to evolve too? And after its going to be more of a challenge getting extras of the Pokemon you want. And then leafeon, glaceon and sylveon eventually, after the nicknames trick if they get one it will be like Russian roulette getting duplicates of the one you want.

Do you think there should still be control in what Pokemon evolves into what?
Like I have a 550 cp eevee that I wish I could turn into another jolteon and if it doesn't it's gonna be a waste since water types are common locally so it would kill the flareon, and vaporeon isn't as good as before.

Eevee is the only Pokemon that has randomness involved in what it evolves into, but I get your point. I think that users should have total control over what their Eevee becomes. In the original games you got to choose which evolution stone to give it, in the anime it was the same. There was never any "oh I wonder what my Eevee will become" in the canon. On top of that, I think it's ridiculous that Vaporeon gets to be so much stronger than Flareon and Jolteon. In my opinion, they should have the same strength. Everybody only wants Vaporeons, and the other two aren't getting any love. It's sad to see.

I'm glad to say that today I finished my Eevee collection, though. The last one I needed was Flareon, and she's actually one of my top 6 Pokemon now!

Currently Eevee is the only one, however when they add the next generations there will be Gardevoir/Gallade, Dustox/Beautifly, Bellossom/Vileplume, Tyrogue evolving into either Hitmonchan/Hitmonlee/Hitmontop, Froslass/Glailie, Politoed/Poliwrath, Slowbro/Slowking, Huntail/Gorebyss, Wormadams (grass/ground/steel)/Mothim.
Sure it will take a long time before all the generations show up, but it's best if Niantic adjusted how those pokemon evolve. Starting with eevee's evolution method would the best start before they get more branching evolutions and it proves to be a bit of a clunky mess.

Maybe they could add stones that you buy/get for levelling up/get from pokestops.

I'm so happy right now. One of the streets in my town has 8 Pokestops on it and someone put a Lure on every stop.

There was over 50 people walking up and down the street, hatching eggs and catching Pokemon. I got three Tauros, 5 Pikachu, 8 Eevees, 4 Jigglypuffs, a Kingler, and a Persian. I also managed to hatch a Scyther and a Jynx, so it was awesome. I'm actually leaving to Europe tomorrow, so I'm glad I got so many Tauros. Now I can aim for some Mr. Mime of the rumor is true about the region locks.

I just recently hatched a Chansey out of a 10k egg. Dunno if its a decent defender or not because its only 150 something lol (i'll probably level it up out of impulse)

I am about to go to a nearby gastly nest, hoping i can get enough for a haunter today

[kloppo]

I hatched a 2km egg yesterday and got a charmander!
so I've completed my collection of the starters
(not counting pikachu because they don't appear as an actual starter)

I haven't heard of any nests near me. It is kinda sad.

If you live in or near a large city that's where they'll likely be. If you feel the need for a radar since niantic's is still kinda broken/unsafe check out GoRadar, it's an app but only works by crowd sourcing and in big cities or denseley populated areas.

For any who have qualms about using radars I use it to study spawn rates as well as checking in on famous places such as Santa Monica pier and Beverly Hills. I don't even live in the USA nor am I currently in it. I can confidently say I've never caught or hunt down a Pokemon using that radar.
Another thing I try to use the radar for is to study things like the Google keywords theory and its viability.
I'm sorry but I feel like the current official tracker is somewhat unsafe for example going back and forth can make you look like you're lost and paint you as an easier target. That's probably the time where your eyes would be glued to the screen, watching for the Pokemon on nearby to move closer or farther. That and when you're looking for pokestops but you could glance at the map see a nearby pokestops and make route for it without staring at the phone but the current Pokemon tracker you need to keep an eye on if you spot a much desired Pokemon as you only have eleven minutes. Anything can happen in that time if your walking along the street or trail especially if it's getting dark.

If you walk away a bit while choosing a starter, you do get pikachu.

I know, but they don't appear right away as you do need to "play" (walk) to get them
thanks though c:
