Miltank is ONLY in your region now. At least, in the wild. The one I caught was in San Antonio. I just happened to be there during PAX, and that’s the region it was in. Porygon hatching from eggs is rare, too. Easier to do a raid. 

I didn't know either of those things.  I thought Miltank were all over the US and I think I

hatched Porygon during the first month I was playing.  I guess I'm just lucky.

I just caught a militank today in the northeast

Yeah that is pretty bad although hatching eggs (for me at least) isn't very hard.

On the plus side, Miltank can be caught in the wild.  Just caught one yesterday.

Also it is possible to get Porygon by hatching eggs.  That's how I got mine.

I was laughing this morning because the last gift you sent me made me level up through the power of friendship. xD That's just so pokemon.

I hatched a Porygon a few months into playing the game originally in 2016. Haven’t had one since until a few days ago as part of a quest.

So I mosied on up to the ho-oh after he failure of Mewtwo and there were about 15 people there. They were clearly pogo pros because they were about to jump in but I heard the classic "wait, there's another one coming everyone back out" as I was walking into range. That's the story of how I at least got a ho-oh out of today.

They also all told me to to join the discord (which I did) because, for example, I could have given a heads up that I was doing Mewtwo but would be 20 minutes late and people would have waited for me. Then a few made friends so I got that quest item out of the way.

I love stories like this that counter the, “The PoGo community is so toxic” complaint.

I've literally never seen a less toxic and more friendly community than organized PoGo folks.

At the end yesterday they said they hoped to see me on their 'raid train' today. Which I am not, but it was nice to be invited.

Trueee words have never been spoken. I’ve always had positive experiences with the ad-box PoGo groups I’ve been with. Always looking to get people on the “raid train”. I’m one of the higher level players in my group, and I’m always telling them “Hey, I’m here to help you. I don’t really care about rank or color (Mystic, Valor, Instinct classification), I wanna get this raid done. I’m here to help you. Just hit me up, and if I have a few minutes to spare, I’m in.”

we went to the park with my sister because a ho-oh raid had just popped. this time, we caught the crowd in time, large enough to have three separate color-coded raid groups. and that raid then turned into three raids. it was my sister's first time actually doing any raids, and we each got two ho-ohs with one of them being shiny.

and then i totally lucked into getting the excellent curveball quest item done, so i feel it was a good use of pogo time.

lol, I'm getting really tired of this gift crap.  They cap the number of gifts you can hold to 10 but when you have 70+ friends and stops don't give gifts every time you need them it's become a chore instead of a fun thing:(

Yikes and I was having trouble with just 15.  I don't think I'd ever have that many friends.

Although since I get so many gifts from the pokestops near me, I don't think I'll ever run out.  At least not for long.

Open question to anyone:

I tried to turn the volume on just now. Normally when you boot the game the volume buttons switch from controlling the ringer to controlling the program volume.

Except when I boot the game, the volume buttons still control the ringer. It's not the game settings, audio is turned on in the menu. If I switch to YouTube, I can mess with the program volume, but when I switch back to the game, the volume doesn't carry over. It's as if the program doesn't have an audio component to it for some reason.

I dunno what to do, but I'm really irritated that I can't figure it out.

No lie I’ll pass 10 stops and I’ll be lucky if I get 3 gifts. I’m going to trim down my list. Like all the peeps that were for Celebi I’m going to remove. 😬

A few times I had to uninstall and reinstall the game when it behaved funky. Maybe that will work?

I finished the hatching eggs portion of the quest. 

Now I'm working on walking Eevee.  I've never walked any small pokemon before and it makes me so

happy to see eevee on my avatar's shoulder.  It's so cute.  So far I've currently walked 2.2/5 km.  So that's a good start.

 

It might be because I have Google but shiny animation still shows up on my phone.

Just noticed because I hatched a shiny cp292 Togepi yesterday.  I have 47 candies for it so far.

 

Question:  Do anyone know if the name trick still works for evolving Eevee into Espeon or do I have to evolve it during the day?

I got to play outside of the suburbs for once in downtown Atlanta during DragonCon and finally got to battle. It was just gyms because I was too tired to do any meet-ups. It was no surprise that my Snorlax was giving serious beatdowns, but I didn't know furret could whoop ass too. I just evolved sentret into them because they're so cute. Furret kept coming up as a suggestion, so I went with it, and my furry babies made me proud. No surprise about my vaporeon either, but I also totally underestimated exeggecute.

Name trick only works once, you'll have to evolve Espeon during the day while Eevee is your buddy once you've gone over 10k and got both candies if you used Sakura before, same goes for Umbreon at night

That's good to know.  How early in the day do you have to evolve Eevee? 

Does it have to be in the morning or does it work in the late afternoon like between 4 and 6 PM?

I'd think going by daytime/nighttime in the game should be enough, but you can wait a bit/restart once the game transitions to be safe

I heard Unown that spell out Dragoncon were out like crazy. Did you see any?🙀

xD I had no idea there was an unown event for DragonCon until I read this. Since they looked weird and were obviously different symbols, I just caught them just in case they were important. I looked them up on google and see that I caught the letters, dagonc. It annoys my ocd so much that I didn't get an 'r'.

I’ve had nightmares about Unown. Lol one was I was on the ferry and one spawned in the river. I kept tapping it but the encounter wouldn’t happen 😆

that’s awesome that you got a few. They’re so rare it’s good trade bait. Sorry you didn’t get the “r” though 😬
