"TIL how to curveball. Thank you, kind stranger"

#PokemonGO: I had been trying to do the Mew special research for a good few weeks now. Thought the biggest obstacle would be evolving a Magikarp but was I wrong... As a casual level 30 player, who mostly plays with his daughter, we never did learn to do curveballs--and we finally got to the task of having to throw an excellent curveball.My method had been to throw the ball in a spinning / swerving motion and hope foe the best. Any curveballs I may have gotten before were purely accidental. Some 150+ pokeballs later, it seemed like an exercise in futility.I was playing at a barber's while waiting to get a hair cut and the person next to me noticed my struggles. He suggested I spin the ball first, then move it to side and throw afterwards... Wow. 30 mins later, I had my Mew.Thank you very, very much! On a side note, 20km walk for a single Mew candy? via /r/pokemongo https://ift.tt/2rcbGUF
