This week I decided that a) I felt good enough about the game and their development of it that I was willing to spend some money on coins, and b) that I was going to, this once, absolutely and definitely clear out my egg inventory so that I would no longer periodically get surprised with a lowbie mon out of a 5k egg. I'm almost level 25, and I felt like this was a good point from where I wouldn't be quite as *fists of rage* about finally hatching an older egg many levels later.
So, I spent some coins, and bought enough incubators to pop each of my 5k eggs into one. (On reflection, later, I realized I had enough coins from gyms saved up that I could probably have done this without the $$ in two batches, starting the incubation on the remainder before hitting a pokestop, but oh well.)
I also engaged in some very anecdotal research about whether egg origin has anything to do with what hatches. My conclusion: maybe? nothing hatched from my not-local egg pick up that I haven't encountered in the wild near my home, but the wild populations in each are fairly distinct.
I'm also 0/4 or 0/5 getting a 10k egg on the 10th pokestop spin when I have a spot open. I continue to watch with envy the threads of those on reddit who believe otherwise.
We also had a food festival here that brought a bunch of new trainers through amongst the hordes, so I was gently laughing at the constant flipping of the gym in that park, until it was the end of the day, and I was left with a level two gym, my team, both spots occupied with 2400+cp snorlaxes. Really, people?
Thankfully one of the locals swung by and flipped it an hour or two later, so it's accessible to our relatively lowbie population again.
I think I've mostly been evolving for XP, other than my first gyarados this week. Nothing else exciting evolved or captured on that front, but I've finally got a solid exeggcute lined up ready to go, with a handful more candy.
