feeling da grind now at level 17
all you can do at this point is farm pidgeys, caterpies, and weedles (12 candy to evolve) and pop lucky eggs to evolve them
you can see how absurd the xp requirements for levels get eventually
levelling from 17-18 is like levelling from 1-8
levelling from 22-23 is like levelling from 1-15
was super fun walking around with buddies making quick progression and finding exciting new pokemon early on, but that fun seems to fade
