    C'mon, admit it... you needed more Poké Balls and Lucky Eggs, didn't you?

    Have you bought Pokécoins with real money yet -- what'd you buy? Did you feel guilty about it?
     
    I haven't (yet), but I feel like I'm going to cave sometime soon. I'd feel pretty guilty to be honest, and somewhat lazy. I'd buy eggs for sure, and maybe some incense or lures.

    edit: i caved and bought some pokeballs. i feel guilty :/

    I purchased $5 worth of coins yesterday evening since I ran out of Poké Balls and found a Slowpoke which I hadn't yet seen. =o It was worth it. Hard getting enough capture items for me right now (especially with how many wilds appear) when gyms aren't a reliable source of coins yet since I'm fairly weak and PokéStops are limited, so I'm glad I have the ability to purchase.
     
    My neighborhood has around 50 or so pokestops (mostly due to the 15 at the cemetery), so I'm not sure I'll need to any time soon.
     
    Not really, these are just a small amount of the pokestops near me. And 2 at range when I'm at home (which is where my character stands). Plus I got my app from the Australian App Store so I need Australian credit, which i don't have. I'll have to wait till the game releases in the Netherlands and then I might buy some stuff

    I don't think I will. I have a park nearby that has several pokestops so I have already deleted over 200 pokeballs I had so many!
     
    I might later on, but right now I'm doing fine without and I hope to keep things that way. About a 10-15 minute walk from my house there are dozens of stops so I can always stock up there on pokeballs and such. The extra large bag is tempting though.
     
    There are a lot of Pokestops in our area, so I'm not worried about running out of things like Pokeballs.

    I've been saving my Lucky Eggs and Lures and such...I haven't felt any need to want to purchase Pokecoins.
     
    I'm tempted to buy the extra large bag first and then be able to stock up on balls to a greater extent.

    But yes, I expect I will spend money on this. I haven't done so yet.
     
    I had another Dratini in my apartment this morning... and I was completely out of Poké Balls.

    I caved and bought some. ): I couldn't just let him get away...
     
    Honestly, it hasn't even crossed my mind to spend money on the game. Luckily, I work in the centre of London, so it's PokeStop galore!!

    The only thing that's annoying is the lack of bag space with only 350 slots. However, the upgrade is only by 50 slots, so that's not enough to spend the equivalent of 200 coins.​

    If I spent money on coins at all it will be to buy more egg incubators. Rubbish how few you get and how temporary they are :(.
     
    I don't know. I guess it wouldn't be too bad since it would be nice to support Game Freak in this way.

    I think I'll wait a while to figure out how many pokeballs I can get from the pokestops in my immediate area. Also I'm going into the capital city next week so it'll probably be my best oppurtunity to stock up.

    Though if I got anything it would probably be a bigger bag or more Pokemon storage.
     
    Luckily I haven't reached that point of running out of Pokeballs.. yet. I'm pretty sure when the time comes I'll end up purchasing some more, the prices are fairly reasonable after all.
     
    I went out to see The Shallows the other day, and there were tons of PKMN there. I wound up running out of balls on the way home. So when I switched the game on to run out to a stop across the street, and a Charmander and a Jigglypuff showed up. Had to make an emergency micropay.

    Let's not pretend I don't know what I'm getting myself into, though. We've all seen that one episode of South Park.
     
    I bought some coins already for some lucky eggs, incense and Pokéballs. With only having two or three PokéStops in my village it's pretty hard to find enough balls to get by on so unfortunately for now I'll have to stock up in the shop until I move to a bigger town. I don't mind too much though - the prices seem pretty reasonable from what I've experienced and it's a good enough game to warrant paying some money for.
     
    Living in the city, I don't see myself ever needing to buy poke balls.

    But I did, however, spend $5 today in order to expand my bag size. I get so, so many items so quickly I was ending up deleting Revives and Razzberries--which I would rather not do.

    Bigger bag: problem solved (for now).
     
    I've had to top up on Pokéballs again since the last post which is unfortunate; when you live in an area with so few PokéStops it gets hard to save up Pokéballs for when you want to go on a catching spree. I don't mind spending money on the game for now as it's a great game and I think it's fair enough to 'pay' for the app but I'll start to get annoyed if purchases become even more vital with extra levels.
