"Theory: Pokemon eggs may be influenced by the location of the Pokestop"
#PokemonGO: Alright, a couple of days ago, I made a post just asking about if eggs you collect favor the pokestop you pick them up from.Yesterday and today, I decided to put it to the test.I collected 6 eggs from 4 locations, hatched them in groups, (caved in and bought incubators to hatch them faster) and documented the results. I stopped collecting after 6 eggs even though I was hoping to get at least 1 of each group.I also hatched them near my local area, or right by Location A, to try and remove the "location when hatched affects outcome" theoryLocation A Suburban Area near Hospital: Pokemon in the area: Pidgey, Rattata, Nidoran, Paras, EeveeThe location isn't anything special besides the volume of stops. I collected three 2Ks, and two 5Ks and a 10K2 KM results: Zubat, Rattata, Pidgey5 KM results Nidoran, Paras10 KM result EeveeResults from this one, very disappointing, but all com-mons from the area.Location B College Campus and Downtown Pokemon in the area: varied, but outside Pidgey and Rattata; Growthlite, Slowpoke, Magnemite, MachopHigh Traffic area, lots of stops, near a river. I got one 2K four 5ks and one 10K2 KM result Pikachu5 KM results Goldeen, Slowpoke, Gastly, Meowth10K result ChanseyLocation C Park with a high Charmander spawn rate, also water and bug typesThis is a locally known "Charmander Nest", five 2Ks and a 5K, this is where it gets interesting.2 KM Results: Charmander, Squirtle, Rattata, Jigglypuff, Caterpie5 KM Result: GoldeenLocation D Park near residential area, known for being a Magmar nest along with the commons:Here is where I had the strongest proof, two 10K eggs, two 5ks, and one 2K egg2 KM Result Geodude, Pidgey5 KM results Exeggcute, Ponyta10 KM results BOTH WERE MAGMAROK, overall results, seem to support my hypothesis, but the sample size is way too small to make an absolute conclusion. But looking from the trends; location plays a possible role. While not guaranteed, it may tip the scales on where you pick up the egg.If anyone has any evidence contradicting or supporting this, please post in the comments.EDIT I should also mention I've received a variety of pokemon from Location A when just hatching, including Vulpix, Horsea, Himonchans, and Cubones, (also a ton of Magikarp and Onyxes) I'm not saying that you will ONLY get pokemon from the area, but it's "favored" if that makes sense.EDIT 2: location may also influence; hot spot for Rhyhorn paras, and pidgey of course. Took 4 eggs to this location from location A:2 Zubats, despite no Zubats in the hatching area, Nidoran and RhyhornI'm guessing both have a factor to influence since Rhyhorn isn't seen in Location A but I hatches him in a "hotspot" via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2aDOfff
