Recently, Pokemon Go is surprised by Eevee, a popular-if-common find because it is now one of the Pokémon that hatches out of a five-kilometer egg.
It might be a major concern for players who already have cracked lots of eggs open which required far more steps only to discover the normal-type preferred instead of a far-off sought-after Pokemon.
Eevee used to occupy a slot in the random rotation of Pokemon that could be within the infamous 10-kilometer egg, according to Polygon. Pokemon eggs were sent to players after they have levelled up or following an infrequent PokeStop stopover which entails between two and 10 kilometers' worth of steps to hatch.
Players who can discover a 10-kilometer egg are rewarded with especially uncommon Pokémon. One Pokemon Go trainer was upset when walking the mandatory 6.2 miles just to hatch the egg eager to find Snorlax only to get Eevee instead. Now, it will take half as many steps to hatch an Eevee or others which is less uncommon Pokemon on the same egg tier.
This kind of change made the members of places like The Silph Road delighted. The new egg lineup was discovered by the users of the devoted Pokemon Go discussion following an update that took effect after the worldwide Halloween event that ended on Nov. 1. Niantic has probably recognized the players' frustrations with the game.
In a well-known thread on the Pokemon Go reddit, user CrazedArtistCat wrote: "This is good news for more than just the fact that Eevees are now in [five-kilometer eggs]. More importantly, it shows that if enough people have a problem with something, and it makes sense for Niantic to do, there is a chance that they will do it."
Pokemon Go is a free-to-play game available on Android, iOS and Apple Watch devices. It was developed and published by Niantic, Inc. with the help of their artist Dennis Hwang, and composer Junichi Masuda.
The game uses the mobile device's GPS (Global Positioning System) to locate, battle, capture and train virtual creatures. Although it suffered server outages because of extreme usage, and some hackers also tried to take it down using DDoS (distributed denial of service} assault, Niantic managed to fix it and still trying to make developments of the game.
