Try 6am-8am. There's also a task to transfer 10 Pokémon. I like to think it implies they're actually being pulped like everyone says.

Yeah that one has been useful. It's gotten me 3 Misdreavus so far.

what are the chances of wild unown

Well you can already find Unown in the wild, they're just super, super rare and nearly impossible to find without scanners. Will they make them more common? Probably not. Will they make them a reward for 5 Excellent Curveballs in a Row? Absolutely.

I hope if there's a new giant evolution research it's Swablu because I already got my giant whale but I'm almost at 400 Swablu candy. Of course knowing my luck it will be something that does not ever spawn near me, or another Gyrados. A shiny lucky one.

how do nests work? just increased spawn rates in the park boundaries or is there a specific area in those boundaries that just always has the pokemon?

"I'm sorry if you got upset" isn't actually an apology, it's just blameshifting - as if the fault is someone else's for being offended by what you said instead of yours for saying something rude that offended.

"I'm sorry I said something that was upsetting" is taking responsibility for what happened. that's an actual apology.

There tend to be specific spawn spots that spawn only the pokemon in that nest. The spot won't always spawn the specific pokemon but more likely than not they'll be there.

There's a big lake nearby with stops all around it with a rotating nest. Once it was Swablu. I tried to take my wife there that weekend and it had changed to Horsea.

It was the stove! Tickled me that that was the thing they thought was important enough to mark as a location. Come look at our old rear end stove.

The Celebi thing said there would be an increase in Johto pokemon, so maybe they actually are going to increase the spawn rate of unowns.

Also the new raid bosses include Kirlia, Magmar, Tangela, Rhydon, and Piloswine.

Kirlia and Magmar already are raids, and Rhydon and Piloswine have been raids in the past. Tangela is neat, though.

Yeah, but they all have gen4 evolutions. That's why it's kind of interesting, particularly in combination with a gen4 badge showing up in the network traffic.

so the way to take advantage of a nest is to go to a park marked with a nest on silph road then wander around until i find the nest pokemon then hang out there?

Almost any park of reasonable size will have more than one next spawn point, so you'll really want to wander the park and find them all. The don't respawn often enough to justify camping a single spot, usually.

sinnoh badge doesn't get me very excited about gen 4 because they usually add new pokemon a week or so before making them available. once that happens, then we can start being excited for gen 4.

in fact going and looking it up, the hoenn badge was released a good three months before the first hoenn pokemon were.

Well yeah because you were needlessly a huge rear end in a top hat. It wasn't mild or sarcasm and your attempt to play it off and walk it back is really pathetic.

I didn't read every word and missed one thing. Probably because I was at work. Then I asked a dumb question. Oops. I'll be sure to triple read everything now and then check with you before I ask a question from now on. I'm sure you've never said anything dumb before. Oh.....oh wait....

Personally I can't wait till all the people who rejoined when friends got added lose interest and quit again. Ever since friends were rolled out this thread has been full of whiny tone-police types, as well as people asking super easy to Google questions.

I don't, actually. I think they serve being event pokemon very well, and with trading(assuming you have an active community), they're not unobtainable for those that just want the entry.
