why can't they just give us the egg that comes from then summoning item or items insted of causeing us to fail epicly and give some one else your sommoned egg i think it would make legendary collecters alot happier just sayin

[XxHyBr1DxX]

If it's like the fossils ... you get the egg instantly... the game will be really boring... while hunting the egg is fun!

[Carefactorzero]

If everything were this easy, it would be too boring. Legends are something that should be worked for; not given to you straightaway. You'll get better at summoning eventually, and I'm sure you'll appreciate the numerous opportunities to snag failed summons from the lab yourself one day. That aspect of legend hunting is what makes legend-hunters happy, as well as a bit of a challenge. I daresay the majority of us prefer a shot at what others fail to grab rather than having to always rely on finding summoning items, which are actually hard to come by on a frequent basis, unlike the plethora of summons that go unclaimed once the 5 minutes pass by.

5 minutes is ample time to grab your summon. Pick a bonus day and you should have no trouble, as the lab is usually emptied out on those days. Or, if you need the egg data, use a repel after you summon it and hey presto! Free grab!

[Demothi Ryuu]

I have misses a few summoned eggs myself, but you know what, I actually found the hunting, and the anticipation really fun. It got my heart racing, just like seeing a novelty I really want in the egg shelter or safari, because you never know if you will or won't get it.

Really this game isn't made to just 'give' you much of anything, fossils and vouchers are the only thing that are a given, so really those are the outlier things where as summoning in the lab is the basic.

Just keep working at it and don't give up.

(I once kept a summoning item for over 5 months because I kept missing multiplier days, so just be careful and use good judgment and you can get your summons without a problem.)

[Kathie]

hatch a bunch of eggs. then when you summon, you can repel and a good majority will be gone! thats how I've actually snagged somebody else's summons.

[HemlockDalise]

I too know the pain of being a terrible summon-catcher - I've summoned a few, and only caught one! I think it adds to the fun though, not being handed everything.
I will be trying this advice next time, and hope for better luck!
How would you go about summon catching if you had already hatched one of the pokemon summoned? Repel wouldn't be usable would it?

[FiddleTwix]

Yeah I hate actually having to actively search and work for my legends. I wish they would be handed to me directly as well. /sarcasm

Seriously, that's what I always hear when people bring this up. :| Especially when people started bitching about explorations replacing the event system.

What's so wrong with having to actually do something to get a legend? It's like those people who brag about how many shinies or legends they've gotten on their console games using a cheating device. Congratulations; you just got crap you in no way earned. You should be proud.

Getting rare stuff is already a whole lot easier than it used to be, yet people are always suggesting ways to make it easier. Easier IMO = boring.

And yes, you can always use a repel if you haven't hatched the Legend you're going for. If you have; well then you already know the egg description, refresh, refresh, refresh.

I'm not saying it's not frustrating when you miss a summon; it is. I know. I missed a Heatran egg I summoned and I was majorly pissed. Made even more stupid over the fact that I hate Heatran XD

The system we have right now is just fine the way it is. You're still working for a legend, it's more fair because you have 5 minutes to yourself where only you and you alone can find it, and it gives us the opportunity to go legend hunting ourselves for missed summons. And even though you might feel for the person who missed the legend you just got, you won't deny that that feeling admittedly goes away soon enough once the "I just grabbed a legend" happiness kicks in. :P

Egg hunting is a lot more fun than just getting eggs handed to you. I kinda understand why there's no system in place like that for fossils. Fossils are...well fossils. They're immobile until you decide to resurrect it and then it's yours instantly; same as in-game. Kinda like egg hatching.

Legends are supposed to be special. If they were just handed to everyone with no effort they really wouldn't be as special, would they?

[FaerieFallen]

It's a problem, I'll admit. But let's face it... anything easily had is rarely worth having!

[LittleMissSophie]

The anticipation makes it more rewarding, in my opinion.

[Gigadweeb]

... You know what? Maybe we should remove Summoning altogether.
Honestly, shut the fuck up for once, and be grateful that you get Summoning Items- We didn't get those before they were intoduced. We had to rely on luck from each monthly event.
If you ask me, they should have stopped making getting Legendaries noob-friendly. Soon they'll start complaining they get one once a week.

And yeah they should make an Arceus egg pop up every second. I bet everyone will be happy. /sarcasm

[Superbob]

Summoning is fun. I am ranked #16 in failed summons and I say keep em coming. It is fun raging at myself when I refresh over it.

[Sofia]

I seriously like the fail rate. It makes it fair to others as well. People who stalk the Lab deserve to be rewarded by random failed summons.

[Killer Zylos Wol...]

Easy is boring...at less to many. If things were too easily most people would get bored and quit. That's probably not something a site wants, people quitting on it.

At the same time, making something too hard would also result in boredom or more likely frustration, which the same result of being to easy happens.

But as it is, you have 5 minutes to yourself to hunt for the egg with no chance of anyone else getting it, after those five minutes it's all fair in love and war...or in this case getting a egg...a fictional egg...even more fictional then normal.

Overall they did it the best way I could see it done with the less amount of people being annoyed by it.

If you don't waste your 5 minutes on doing other things...then you will most likely get the egg. Of course it's not 100% that you will get it but still more then 50% I'd say.

Also, people want Legendary for their own reasons, and people can't just live on their own summoning items, not everyone would get enough in the end, so that's when people "stealing" your eggs come in. This gives people who don't have a ton of summoning items to get a chance of their own to get it.

Say as you like, this is for the best. Just because you fail at times doesn't mean you should just complain and rage about it, that gives you nothing in the end.

[Lacrymosa]

People who get unlucky with underground and people without secret key/time to stalk backroom would never be able to get legends if they were just handed out. I think it's a good way to balance things.

I've missed a few, but I can't complain since I already have all the summonables and what I've missed could just put a smile to another person's face. c:

Don't flame

And closing this, since its rather pointless
