Does it matter when the 7 k egg was received to determine what the Mon is inside? With Regionals coming in 7 k eggs does a player have to wait until after 9-13-18 1 PM Pacific to have a chance at one of them being in the eggs already.

The Pokemon in the egg is determined when you open the gift. Only gifts opened after the event start have a chance to have regional eggs.

Has it been definitively answered yet if WHERE the Egg is coming from matters for the Regionals? ie: If I open a gift from a North American Friend, will that only give me Tauros, or can I get a Mr. Mime or Kangaskhan from it too?

No one will know for sure until the event starts, but it most likely does not matter where the eggs are from.

This keeps getting asked and I can't for the life of me understand why it would be this way. Niantic can't expect people to turn to internet forums to add strangers to their friends list.

They expect people to coordinate raids using 3rd party apps. Posting a friend code on the internet is alot easier.

I'm not saying there isn't a need for an in-game method of doing this but at least it's within the player's local community. Unless your local Discord/chat has thousands of members, ideally you'd see the same faces after a while. You don't really get that "local community" sense with some rando from across the globe. Just my two cents.

Because Niantic doesn't seem to think the same way that most of the rest of us think. Making Regionals found in eggs from gifts from those Regions is the sort of thinking that sounds like Niantic thinking. And Niantic is horrible at communicating things sometimes (quick: if you have less than 10 Luckies and you're trading a Pokémon from July 2016 with someone who has more than 10 Luckies, what are your chances of getting a Lucky Pokémon?), so these are the kinds of questions that are going to be asked.

If I have less than ten and I'm the one giving the July/August 2016 Pokemon? Easy, guaranteed. If the person with more than 10 is giving the July/August 2016 Pokemon? Not guaranteed, but higher due to the age of the Pokemon in question.

I've done this with my fiancee a couple times since she has less than ten luckies, and we'll try it again next month with something she has from September 2016 to see if it's a hard 2 years for the lucky effect.
