That I had to leave my phone open to hatch an egg. Completely forgot.

Fuck my life.

On the bright side I caught a Pinsir

[Premortal]

Pinsir is most definitely worth it. At least you got some exercise to prepare you for when you actually hatch your eggs.

[Have_a_good_day]

There's always a good side

[EthanX]

Yeah you are not alone unfortunately. Same fucking shit happened to me, but I didn't walk near as far. Good to know you are not alone though, right?

[Krule]

LOL, that really truly sucks bro tbh. Next time just remember to leave the app and phone on and everything will be alright.
sorry about your loss of carbs

[Ooze]

You actually WALKED 17km dafaq were you doing?
I could see driving that far but jeez man

From what I have heard, driving (at normal speeds) does not count towards eggs. You have to be going at a slow pace, even a bicycle may not be registered.

@OP WALKING?! Get your duct tape and turn your ceiling fan on.

I mean, if you're listening to music or talking to a friend or something it really isn't all that hard. Sure, it'll take a while, but in terms of difficulty it's not all that high. Even just walking without talking to anyone or listening to anything can be a pretty therapeutic experience.

[Raddify]

that sucks.
at least you got a pinsir, and probably met a few, and now you can act like a hardened pokememe go player.

[YayHar]

Ok, here is the plan.

Get your phone, tape it to your ceiling fan.

Turn your ceiling fan on.

Done.

[Confound]

Damn dude, you definitely learned your lesson, haha. As for the really long walk - at least you got some great exercise in bud! Thats kinda the point of the game I guess right?

[Senor Suave]

I suggest using the ceiling fan method. That will help catch you up, or you can ride in a car. I also saw people putting it on their pets and record players to hatch their eggs.

I did that the first day I was playing. Biked ~5 miles and didn't know. Did get an Electabuzz out of my 10k though.

[oRequiem]

I'm almost certain a good portion of the players has done this a few times.
Let's be real 😏

Phone in pocket then dies in pocket without knowing, etc.
That's why you gotta check every 5 minutes at least.
