SHOP: Did you buy Lucky Eggs for the future?

You should, as it will save you some coin in the long run, so hurry before event ends.

Oh, I hit 40 this morning. ???

Many long nights turned to early mornings, but I did with grace, and I did it with muscle. Few lucky eggs, little GO Plus, little driving, no Bubble Strat, no 2x phone evolve, no multi device play -- MY 40 IS DIFFERENT!

And now I can finally enjoy the game.

For the future I got a 8 pack too, I knew 40 would give me 4, so I got 12 on ice, lol. Good move on your part.

Wow awesome! I didn't because I'm almost lvl 33, but I did buy 2 during the event and got the most out of them so I'm happy

But what is the point of reaching level 40 so much faster than getting stardust? Stardust is more important than xp, no?

You wouldn't gain dust any faster unless you hatch a lot, but it's all preference. Outside of that I wanted to reach 40, dust / xp are a union, they come together.

Yeah and 8 mass evolves aren't going to give me more stardust :p but they are cheap so i'm considering it! Free items are a plus tho haha

Congrats on reaching lvl 40 !
(You said that you would achieve it this week and you did).

Only lvl 33.5 myself, but happy with my progress in my own way enjoying the game as I go along.

Wow, that is great. Congrats!
No lucky eggs for me, not interested in the pidgey/mass evolve grind. To me that is not fun.

I have a goal of collecting 1000 candy for as many mons as possible. Some mons like magikarp I'm over 5000 while other mons like lapras I'm at 9.
Do you have any off the wall in game goals/plans?

Now, it's to dedicate most of my time at nests, and prepare for PvP, and do more gym battles as well.

Finally enjoy the game? What have you been doing this whole time

Nah didn't bother with lucky eggs, easy to use during event for 4x but afterwards just seems pitiful. Besides, bag space is a struggle

Been putting in work!

2x better than nothing, but no doubt my bag space is low too, but I'm also not maxed out.

Congrats on doing this legit, man! What an achievement. Can I ask what your goals are now and how much do you think you spent so far?

Thank you. That is a great question. On the phone w Apple / iTunes now, cause I wanna know my damn self. My guess is $300. I'll update this shortly.

Update: I've spent about $400 on the game.

Congrats on the big 4-0!! That is quite an accomplishement!

I bought another 25-pack, I now have 39 lucky eggs. I made it to level 35 during the event, almost to 36 now! Then I think I'll stop!

I hit 31 before the event, and used the event to get to 32. Once I hit level 30 I decided I was done with lucky eggs. I had saved a modest amount of candies and managed to use them all gradually throughout the week.

What I really want next is shorter busy distance as I'm grinding toward my first (yes, first ever) Dragonite. I got my first every Dratini during the water festival and I've been at it for a couple weeks now. I could really use some help lol!

I agree, would love shorter distance too as I play on foot. Good luck on your Dragonite evolve. ?

Congratulations on reaching level 40!

I bought a 25 pack of lucky eggs during the event, and am now down to 19. I am most of the way through level 37 now though and have realized that when I reach level 38, there isn't really any further benefit to leveling since it won't allow me to power up my pokemon anymore. Maybe I went overboard with the lucky eggs. It will still be nice to hit 40, but I wish there was a benefit to it.

GGTWNYC,

Awesome achievement, congrats!

May I ask, 'cause I've been wondering... What do you aim for once you reach the top level? Do you think it will get higher than 40? Would you want it to?

As for lucky eggs, I have 200 now - well, nothing spawns near my house, no pokestop anywhere near, I depend on mass evolutions and double XP to be able to compete with city players ;) And it was a nice discount.

Thank you.

If you love the game, you create. Meaning you keep yourself busy. I'm going to spend more time at nests and gym battling, and catching for dust. As per new level caps being added, we think they might be, but I'm not gonna go crazy w that, in going to enjoy the free time and play to have fun, I really grinded hard to 40. Whoa, you have a lot of eggs, I'm jealous, lol. ?

Good points. There's still much to do, and this game is the best exercise app ever!

Again, congratulatons! As a relatively new player (6 mo./lvl 33) I also value your opinions.

I brought 2x 25 egg pack during the event. I'm down to 40 now. I don't see myself getting anymore eggs until next year if I stay on my by-weekly EXP grind with batch hatch.

Congrats on reaching 40.

This is the only game that I have ever played so I am not so familiar with the game scene. I always wonder what would happen if diligent gamers would have achieved if they can put their enthusiasm into something else like doing a PhD or something. Level 40, wow, using those efforts, you could have learnt a new language.
Anyway, I guess gamers do have the drive but one thing about game is its instant satisfaction, which other endeavors won't have that. Damn, I am using a whole day thinking about how my result is periodic,?

Escapism, that's all I can say. And I love that I lost weight and I exercise through the game. Seriously.

35 is a great level, you're going to get a bunch of thing when you get there at the start of level up! Happy hunting.

Congrats on joining club 40 man! Lvl 40 players usually become pokemon go youtubers e.g. Reversal, ProdigiesNation, and Poke AK. Let me know if you make youtube videos and if you haven't, I suggest you to try it since lvl 40 players are very rare. I started from almost lvl 33 and now I am only lvl 34, halfway to lvl 35, even after the event, sad. I bought 8 lucky eggs though to ensure I won't be having hard times leveling up to 35. I planned these lucky eggs to be my last ones, after that I would grind for dust, not exp since I won't have the mentality to grind like you once I reached lvl 35.

Thanks. No plans in that. I'm just a fan of Trainer Nick tho, he's pretty cool. I just wanna play, and be happy, no extra duties, lol.
