Imbalance at work. One would figure pokemons would spawn outside and give perks away from the big cities but man, just a tiny stop at the city boosts you like crazy.
3-5 pokestops from a bench all with lures and shit.

Got a Staryu from an egg. First relatively new-ish uncommon Pokemon I ever got from an egg. Also managed to evolve Paras into Parasect.
I'm starting to hit the wall at level 15 where regular-ass Weedles, Pidgeys and Ratatta's are giving me a hard time to catch them. I'm also getting way less Pokeballs from stops.
As a result i'm fast depleting my ever-vast stores of Pokeballs and am currently at about 35 regulars and 80 great balls. I'm even skipping to catch Pidgeys and Rattata's for the time being, trainer life is rough.

i could believe that although i do believe they spawn in random areas as well found a omanyte hanging around a water treatment plant
If it's true, and it probably is, rural is fucked yet again
In my experience, it would seem so, but I'm not sure if I believe it. Could just be luck.
Come on people don't steal thse, lol

Well, the people in the old thread said those would get stolen pretty fast.

Got myself to level 20 today and also caught a 1158CP Golduck. (Which is my best catch so far)
I must say the amount of Pidgeys and Ratatas that run away after spending 5~10 pokeballs on is getting ridiculous. Very frustrating.

Yep, I do think so. Try finding something rare in the evening when pretty much everyone is at home.
Yeah not to say that I haven't seen a rare Pokemon by myself, but it always seems that during peak hours when there are a lot of people around more rare ones show up. Purely anecdotal so probably not true but some other people are starting to notice the trend.

tell me how I get a 76 krabby out of a 5k egg......
you would think that.................but my 1700CP snorlax was just caught at McDonalds on Saturday lol at level 20
i think a lot of servers would melt with this insane amount of people playing
They are. The current system is imbalanced as hell and there's nothing you as a player can do about it other than afk a city bench/park or gps spoof if you want to take the gyms anymore.
Also there's this whole pokeballs issue.
And server issue.
And 3 footsteps issue.
And crashes.
And so on.
CP from eggs depends on which level you were when you found it
That's all down to server issues.
They could never have anticipated THIS.
So calling them incompetent is a stupid thing to do when you have no idea what's going on there
They need a community manager or something though. They've been radio silent on everything.

Is it even legal to put Pikachu on a street sign?

Regardless, with the amount of server issues that have been plaguing the game since launch, I would expect them to give out some free Poke-Coins or Poke-Balls or something to compensate, especially for players who spent money in the game by now.

The rate of pokestops in a city versus outside a city is insane. It's not down to servers it's down to their previous game system. It doesn't work for Pokemon. It gives a inherent advantage to those in a city compared to outside a city.
The fact that he spawn rate of pokemons are higher in a city compared to outside a city seems real, probably due to pokestops attracting them I guess
And so on...
What's incompetent is them officially releasing the game all over the world when the servers couldn't handle US peak alone.
I kind of hope they don't.
It's weird, my casual who lives far outside the city just told me yesterday that Pokemon are spawning all over her house lol.

Hatched 2 10km Eggs and got 2 Electabuzz.
That adds to a previous Hitmonlee.
Damn I just had want to hatch an Eevee

No, there's no such option.

Don't know if its just becuase Eevees seem pretty common here, but every gym is taken over by mostly Vapareons, with a few other Eevolutions mixed in and the rare Snorlax here and there. Vaporeons everywhere.
Would do no good unless you had enough incubators anyway.
Eevee's evolutions are the quickest/easiest way to get high CP pokemon. They get something like a 3x CP boost when evolving from Eevee to any of their evolutions.
Plus Vaporeon has one of the higher HP stats in the game which means it can last a long time in gym battles.
Vaporeon is the best Eeveelution in terms of HP and CP gain. Alongside Snorlax, it is one of the best Pokemon you can put in a gym/attack gyms with. It's not just you.
Vaporeon attack fast, have a ton of HP, and few strong pokemon have electric or grass type attacks. Plus they're easy to get.
Every gym around here is dominated by Hypno/Vaporeon/Jolteon, with a few Lapras/Snorlax/Gyarados mixed in.
Reached level 20 yesterday as well. Now I can relax.
Goddamnit, my Pikachu is a 16 CP
... At least I have one though.I've seen quite a few come up on the radar.
Honestly I think it's more that more pokestops = more spawn points. More spawn points inevitably means more chances of rare pokemon.
Who knows though.

You get a Bronze medal for having 3 Pikachu, a Silver medal for having 50, and a Gold for having I guess 200? lol
i must be doing something wrong. at this rate i will never be able to fight for a gym because i'm so desperately under leveled. I just reached level 8 and my strongest Pokemon is a 358 Golbat. And that's playing from day 1 for about 2 hours a day. (when it worked)
Basically anyone who starts new is screwed and has alot of catching up to do if i can lag behind so quickly. Maybe a good solution would be having multiple tiers of gyms for different levels. So a low level person won't have to catch up to a person who seemingly dedicated his life to to the game.
Maybe i just don't get it though.

It's the same here. City peeps control the suburbs too. Only way to beat them is to join them.

Says "Think about your life choices" and recommends drinking instead of going out exercising and socializing......
I do love that some people thinks drinking is the only thing in the world to do for fun. Meanwhile i can think of a hundred things i would rather do for fun than drink.
You absolutely are doing something wrong (sorry if that sounds mean)
For low level players, the way to take down gyms is to actually team up with people on the same team as you. Multiple players of the same team can gang up on a gym to beat stronger pokemon faster.
People who constantly expect to be able to solo a gym aren't really playing the game correctly.

I pretty much took Sunday off from Pokemon Go and it feels like the entire (Poke)world passed me by. I can't even take these lame gyms at work.
Can I just keep reviving/healing my Pokemon and re-attacking the gym?
Yeah, they could have never anticipated this...even after NZ, Australia and US launch. (obvious sarcasm)
Yes, you can definitely do that too.
Each pokemon you defeat in that gym will lower their prestige. And as you lower their prestige, you don't have to face as many pokemon in the gym.
It's just not as efficient as getting help from your team.
