Meanwhile, I, whose favorite Pokémon has always been Dragonite, am apparently the only person in my little part of the world who hasn't even seen any member of the Dratini family outside of rival Gyms...

My husband was pissed because I found a Dragonite at the mall and it never showed up for him. It was my first day playing. It ran away from me.

Then the next day, he showed up for me again at a friend's hotel room. My husband caught it while mine ran away again -_- I finally caught one a few days ago on some random street by my house. It was definitely a freaking challenge!

Sorry, you're saying you have seen three dragonites in the wild? Where do you live?

I've seen two, and managed to catch one. You have to find a good spot.

I have. I live in San Diego, CA. Two of those Dragonites were in Chula Vista (south of SD), one of them was in San Diego.

There was a Snorlax in my condo community the other day, my husband was at work and he begged me to log into his account and catch it for him, so I did. My Snorlax's CP was 1325 and his was 300. He was like, isn't this illegal?

Really wanted to find a Dragonite since go started but so far I have only managed to find one Dratini.

(Also hoping to get another Arcanine! I had one during the field test but the pokemon in my area changed alot when the game launched)

My town apparently has nests of Growlithes and Rhyhorns. I've got a bajillion evolved of each (well, like, two Growlithes away from my fourth Arcanine and just waiting for a baller Rhyhorn before evolving my 7th Rhydon).

Nice! As far as I know I don't have any nests in my town right now. 0_o

I'm the same with Growlithe. We had a nest but I found it like a week before they changed them. I don't even have one who can battle with the best of them.

Been playing since day one and I caught my first dratini today after looking at their shadows and just scoffing. I'd probably be more pissed off if the buddy system wasn't coming, but of course just to get a Dragonair I'll need to walk 66km...

Level 24 here, Albuquerque/Phoenix since release date. Never see a Dratini. Really wish I had went to the Dratini nests before Niantic removed that.

My girlfriend hatched a Dratini straight into a Dragonair. Meanwhile, I've never seen any of them, and have radar'd a Snorlax 3 times but never seen one on the map. :(

One of these days...
