Event is live! Gained +3 Chansey candies due to holding 4.4/5 before it started.

Spawns are really nice around here. Omanyte is by far the most common thing, with Geodude, Onix, Kabuto, Aerodactyl, Slugma, and Rhyhorn all appearing at least once. No Larvitar yet, but here's hoping!

The excitement of seeing 2 Aerodactyls outside your house isn't something I've felt since seeing my first Chansey back in the pink event. 2011cp Aero ran away sadly.

Went for a walk once the event started. In addition to the Larvitar, caught Geodudes, Omanytes, Kabutos, Rhyhorns Slugmas and an Aerodactyl! This event is sooooo much better than the others.

No larvitar around me but I finally caught my first Onyx, hopefully I'll have enough candies by the end of the event to get a steelix.

Good to see Slugmas, need to work on that fire badge.

Yeah it doesn't work that way, that last 1 KM will only take .25KM of walking to get your 1 candy.

Well, it does. Instant three Candy. Combined with another two Larvitar caught I'm up to 53 Candy. Just 14 more Larvitar to have a living dex, and 10 for a non-living.
 
Went on an hour long run today with more disappointing than expected results. Saw some Slugma, which I'm not interested because they spawn commonly around here anyway. Kabuto and Omanyte were cool. I really wanted Onyx for candies to power up my Steelix. Saw a grand total of one on my sightings but couldn't find it.

Saw some Geodude but those always spawn. Actually, Geodude spawned much less than I expected considering how often they spawn on a normal basis here anyway.

Saw no Larvitar or Aerodactyl.

Nothing else that I can think of. When I go downtown to Riverside I suppose that will be a lot more lucrative.

Oh and fuck the red lines telling me that Pokemon aren't real.

After playing something like 8 months (I don't know the exact number but I started maybe a month after release) I finally got a Dragonite through tons of egg grinding. That seems kind of long to me.

I've also literally seen maybe two Aerodactyls in gyms, and neither I nor my girlfriend have EVER seen or hatched one otherwise. I've not seen one in the event thus far either, but the event is basically my only hope.

The event has otherwise been good though (Slugma, Shuckle, Omanyte / Kabuto, Onix, Geodude, every one of which I needed), and I saw the first Electabuzz anywhere around in something like 7 months. I have a slight chance of completing my original pokedex besides the impossible other country ones (which I'm sad about).

Is it possible to hatch a Porygon? That's the massive blockade that's impossible for me to even grind, and it hurts because it has an evolution too. *edit* The internet suggests it's a 5k egg, though sadly I hatch tons of 5k's and haven't had any luck.

Sorry I thought you were talking in general not just the transition to the event.

I had 4.8 KM on my Flaffy when it switched over, boom bonus candy.

Ugh. I think my Plus is broken. When I press the button, it lights up for a second, then stops. Sometimes the blink is very short. Sometimes is doesn't light up at all. Needless to say, it won't connect. I checked with a fresh battery, same problem. Bad timing!
 
When the event started I missed both Aerodactyl and a Larvitar due to PTC being down. Got back on within 15 minutes of the login going back up and I haven't seen a single worthwhile spawn. Awesome. Thanks for that Niantic.

Seriously, when the hell are they gonna let us PTC players just transfer over to Google and be done with this?

Don't feel bad, I've literally seen 1 Dratini since launch. I haven't hatched any either. It's trash.

This event has also been bad for me -- lots of Onyx, Geodude, and Kabuto. They all spawn here often anyway.

Able to fully power up my Rhydon, bringing it up to 3002 CP, and have a 1023 CP Omanyte ready to evolve into a really good Omastar. Even found a Graveler earlier.
