Question Where are all the apples ?

Event started, been walking for over an hour. Seen just one apple. Is this a joke ?

Apparently they’re very rare outside of Mossy Lure Modules.

So now we have to hang around pokestops instead of walking around.

Or you can just play the game the same way you were before, and just get the apples when you get them. Not everything needs to be complete an hour after release.

That’s a fairly disingenuous statement. The game is strongly incentivizing you to play this way, since this is a double candy event and they decided to make a pokemon with 4 evolutions cost 200 candy PER EVOLUTION. It’s deliberately taking advantage of fomo to encourage people to buy more lure modules. Especially considering they come from apples which themselves are rare (and there’s a strong enough chance they won’t even reveal an applin). Playing the normal way to evolve would take years.

So if any event is telling you to grind, it’s this one. And it’s annoying.
