I have purchased some epic eggs before, and I got two extra bulbasaurs. These are a complete waste, since my original starter was bulbasaur, I do not need these other two. I really want to trade them, but I can't because you can't trade starters.... So they are just a waste of epic eggs and they have absolutely no use at all. What should I do with them??? I don't want to throw away TWO of my epic eggs.
This happened to me also, but with Squirtles instead. I guess this is one of the risks that one has to take in when purchasing an egg; think of it like a lucky dip -- you can't change your prize if you get one the same. Otherwise, this may be a great suggestion to nerf the chance of getting a repeat pokemon from an egg that was purchased.
I sorta disagree actually, because it would be a great way of getting the right NATURE starter pokemon. Otherwise it's basically impossible to find one with the correct nature.Say someone wanted to play competitively with a venusaur and kept getting the wrong natured bulbasaurs, it would be far harder to find the right one. Now, I doubt what I'm saying would happen unless someone was desperate for the correct nature and would spend a fortune to get one, but still it's a possibility.
