it's easy enough to get animal eggs or trade for what you need.
I have to agree with this. While I love animal eggs as much as the next guy, I think making them the only thing we can find, even if we only did it for 20 minutes, would send their value down way too far. I personally have not had much difficulty collecting the eggs; I have found several on my own and traded pretty easily for others, and there are only a few I'm missing. I haven't had a lot of problems getting one of each in the past, either. I really don't think it's difficult enough to make a change like this worthwhile.
I like how the rarity of animal eggs is now: not too high that they're impossible to find or trade for but also not too low that they're impossible to trade
away, because I don't keep doubles. If animal eggs become too common, which I can definitely see happening with this, nobody will be interested either in swapping or trading other pets/items for them.
The fun of the egg hunt is the challenge, how things aren't just handed to you; I don't think we should do anything to change that, and I also don't think I would enjoy missing out on token eggs because all I can find are animal eggs. There's also the issue of how everyone lives in different time zones, so I would imagine a lot of players would miss out on the hour due to work, sleep, school, etc., and I don't think that's fair to them.
