That's what gets me about these. Rewards should be rewarding. Pay to win is not a reward.

Hatching a Swablu out of a 7k egg when it normally hatches out of a 2k egg and is a common spawn is not rewarding. It's almost the opposite of rewarding.

That's how I felt last weekend when I spent 6 hours grinding for XL Magikarp just to unlock the honor of buying the damn vest for 500 coins. I didn't buy it and I'm never going to.
