I saw my first Tauros this morning, threw one great ball at it, and it ran away. Ugh!
The ones that got away...

Love Slowbro but once again no luck! How do you guys go about finding this stuff recently?
Spoiler:
I saw a Slowbro lurking nearby as I was leaving work today, and even after taking the 'scenic' route to my bus stop, it still wouldn't show :(
After waiting all this time to see an Abra, one finally showed up this evening. Only for it to break out of the Great Ball (after i'd thrown a Razz Berry, no less), and run away. 'Devastated' isn't the word.

Yesterday, a Dragonite and an Exeggutor ran away from me.
I suck at this game... lol

I spent 10 mins earlier trying to track an aerodactyl, finally saw it but as I went to click on it, it despawned. Really can't wait until they release the new tracking system to everyone as i was so close to finding it in time

Another day where I came close to finding an Abra, another day where it got away. Starting to think i'm just not allowed to own one :(

I want to die.
Only need Aerodactyl to complete North American Dex.
Saw Aerodactyl silhouette.
Saw Aerodactyl pop up on screen.
Tried to click Aerodactyl.
Aerodactyl disappeared.
This is the second time this happened.
Why you do this Aerodactyl. Why you troll me so hard.
Bonus: hatched FIVE 10km eggs today.
Onix. Eevee. Jynx. Eevee. Hitmonchan.
Fourth Onix from an egg. Second and third Eevee from eggs. Third Jynx from an egg. Third Hitmonchan from an egg.

Ahahahah I love hearing things like this from you, it's funny seeing you struggle after all this time you've been leaving us in the dirt ;) Kidding aside I do feel very bad for you, that must've been increeeedibly frustrating to happen twice in a row. Were you trying to screenshot this one too or just really bad luck?

Horrible luck. Came to the area and triggered the silhouette too late and tracked down the Aerodactyl by the time the spawn timer expired.
Hatching the five 10km eggs is far more painful, though.
And I still managed to obtain two more 10km eggs... now incubating...

A Haunter ran away from me. No wonder it's called "Haunter"; that experience haunts me to this day.

Found another Snorlax near my house yesterday and it ran away after 3 ultra balls...
I'm hoping rare pokemon keep spawning near me, though. In the past few days, a Dragonite and Snorlax both spawned while I was in bed, which is weird because I live in a rural area.

Saw my first Marowak last night. It ran away after three razz/ultraball combos. So frustrating!

ive noticed that at the start my house and where i work only had pidgeys/ratattas/weedles but over time im noticing that both locations are getting more uncommon and lately some rare pokemon. I know that spawns are partially influenced by the amount of people playing in that area so im wondering that the amount of time me and my wife have the app open at home is having some influence on what pokemon spawn near me. Also at work i know a lot of other people play Go so that might be helping more rare pokemon spawn there too
Adore
Party.

I haven't been able to catch a Magnemite. They are very rare around here; I have only ever seen two. The first one I lost because the game froze, and the other ran away. :(
It's the last Pokemon I need to make my seen and caught numbers equal, so that's frustrating.

I finally had a Snorlax pop up yesterday. After 8 razz/ultra ball combos and a few regular balls, it ran away. I almost cried.
