If you want to hatch eggs in Pokémon GO, you have to walk a lot – otherwise you won’t get rid of them. Some players think it’s time for a change. Do you too? Participate in the survey below!
It regularly happens in Pokémon GO that the egg pool is scrambled. Then you get different monsters from hatching than usual.
One such case is the upcoming global Hoenn Tour in Pokémon GO, which will feature regional monsters in the 10-km eggs. However, other eggs have also been filled with event spawns in the past.
But there is a problem: Before such events, many players have to cover a lot of kilometers because otherwise there is no room for the “new” eggs with event monsters. After all, egg storage only offers space for 9 eggs, plus three more from Adventure Sync rewards or from Rocket bosses.
So you can collect a maximum of 12 eggs, and then it’s over for a while. A point that frustrates some players, as a recent discussion in the Pokémon GO subreddit shows.
Are the eggs in Pokémon GO a problem? Trainers suggest solutions
A trainer suggests: One user shared a screenshot of their egg collection in the Pokémon GO subreddit (via reddit). They have collected 8 ten-kilometer eggs and four 12-kilometer eggs.
He asks: “Can we please get the option to discard eggs? It’s quite annoying without incubators when you want to get 7-km event Pokémon.”
So he proposes that eggs that he doesn’t want to hatch can simply be removed, thus making room for new ones. Because: What kind of eggs you get is largely out of your hands. You can secure 7-km eggs from friends, 12-km from the Rockets – but 2-km, 5-km, and 10-km eggs are randomly added to your collection when you spin PokéStops and have space.
In the comments, the idea receives support, but also little hope. Many players suspect: The developers probably won’t change anything about it.
After all, incubators are popular items that can be purchased for coins in the shop, and currently the only way to get rid of eggs (via reddit). One user simply writes: “Go for it, buddy” (via reddit).
How could this be solved? On the other side, players also argue that Niantic might actually earn more through incubators if they could truly collect the eggs they want.
“I know I won’t spend money just to get rid of a bunch of lousy 5km eggs, but maybe I will if I want to hatch a bunch of cool eggs during an event like the Hoenn Tour,” argues a trainer (via reddit).
Alternatively, the trainers also suggest variations. Such as:
- “They should give us a permanent super incubator for level 50,” suggests a user (via reddit).
- “Or at least a second infinite incubator” (via reddit).
- “The buddy Pokémon should carry a separate egg. Give it a backpack, and then you could manage two eggs at once. If they can cause tsunamis or fight immortal beings […], they can also carry eggs.”
We want to know from you: What do you think about changes to the eggs in Pokémon GO? What kind of solution would you wish for – if at all? Participate in the survey and tell us in the comments how you feel about the situation.
Otherwise, everything is coming up in Pokémon GO soon, from spotlight hours to the Hoenn Tour. You can find the most important dates in the overview of the events in Pokémon GO in February 2023.
