"The Neverending Gyarados"

#PokemonGO: This might be a weird thing to complain about, but I have 6 Gyaradoses. It's a cool pokemon for sure, but over the course of six gyaradoses, I got pretty tired of seeing and walking around this goofy fish.​This story dates back to when Go first came out. In the first few months, with all the hype going around, I managed to farm up 400 candy to get my first Gyarados. Nothing too crazy, but it was my first mon to break 2k cp. I went out to college and farming these karps became easier, and the buddy system was around so I eventually farmed out another 400. I had some solid gym attackers and defenders, so it felt good. Just after Johto came out, I ended up quitting the game. Life caught up with me, didn't get a chance to play much at that point.​Fast forward to about 3-4 months ago. We're out visiting a campus to play humans vs zombies. This being a new campus, and us spending the day walking around, our friend convinced us to try PokemonGo again. This steamrolled into my current addiction to the game. During this time, I progressed through the mew quest and found that I had to collect more candy. It's easier this time, though. There's pinaps and these fish are everywhere. Eventually, I get the Gyarados and I think, "good, now I don't have to deal with this anymore."​Literally not two days after catching my Mew, I find a shiny Magikarp. It was bittersweet. I was excited to get the infamous Red Gyarados, but I was also super annoyed because I basically had 10 candy by that point. So the grind continued, another 400 candy and walking the golden flippyboi.I get my big red, flippy boi, power him up to a respectable 2300cp to put in gyms, and am finally rid of this fish forever.About a week later, my friend says to me, "Hey, that magikarp we just caught was 100% IV." At this point, I considered not even evolving it. My annoyance was bested by my drive to have a good 100% Gyarados (which is my first and only 100% as of now). The grind continued.​After spending the 400 to evolve it, and probably another 200ish to power it up to 3000 cp (on that mad stardust grind right now), I thought I had closed the book on this fish for a while. This was 2 weeks ago. This morning I found a Gyarados on my drive to work. THIS FISH WONT LEAVE ME ALONE. via /r/pokemongo https://ift.tt/2y905IJ
