I chose a maximum of six, though that was because the dogs bar Raikou are largely not meta-relevant and I didn't -have- more than six of most of the birds. I might bump up the meta relevant ones to nine or so.

Trainers,
The appearance of the Mythical Pokémon Mew has attracted Pokémon that were originally discovered in the Kanto region. These classic Pokémon will be seen more frequently starting April 10 at 1 P.M. PDT, so you'll have the perfect opportunity to earn a gold Kanto medal and even complete your Kanto Pokédex!
What's more, certain Pokémon such as Aerodactyl and Snorlax will be featured in Raid Battles across the world. Keep an eye out for one you haven't encountered yet!
As you encounter and catch more Pokémon originally discovered in the Kanto region, all actions will be rewarded with double Candy. So, not only will you be able to catch Pokémon you might not frequently see, but you may also get the chance to register their evolved forms in your Pokédex as well.
During this event, there will also be special boxes containing Raid Passes! These boxes will give you an opportunity to challenge many powerful Pokémon originally discovered in the Kanto region.
This special celebration ends on April 17, so get out there and make some more discoveries. If all goes well, you may be able to finish your first Special Research request and encounter Mew!

I wish instead of having a shit ton of Latios raids all the time that no one shows up to, they'd just do a few a day that a lot of people show up to. It's annoying having to go to 3 or 4 different raids just to find one that people are actually doing.
Thank God for double transfer candy. I can finally purge hundreds of Pokémon I've been waiting on.
No thank you. I'm not that hardcore at raiding, but this is a poor suggestion.
Learn to use Discord, Facebook, or other messaging.
Yeah I don't know why some people fight this until their death. It's simply the easiest and most convenient way to raid.
I'd rather just play Pokémon Go and not have to worry about using other apps to plan raids. PoGo's bad enough on my battery as it is, and fuck Facebook. I don't know if making raids more infrequent would be the best solution, but I do definitely think they need a rework because trying to do them without getting super involved on other apps just sucks.
It's a community-based game. If you don't want to interact with the community, then that's fine. You'll just have a harder time raiding. I don't think they should change it to make it easier for you to just walk up and raid just because you can't be bothered to interact with other people or applications.
Eh. I don't think the raids are good symbol of Pokemon Go as a community-based game. I've never felt any sense of a community at a raid. No one ever chats with each other, they just stick to themselves on the phone. At best, you hear someone complain when they've wasted 20 minutes of their time tapping a screen without getting the legendary Pokemon. There was a better sense of community finding rare Pokemon in the wild than there ever was with the raids. Plus the raids are boring as hell, the rewards are the only good parts about them. Raids (and a general lack of stuff to do since Johto was a pretty small generation) really put me off from Pokémon Go last summer, and I definitely am not alone in thinking that they should really be reworked into something more fun.
My experience has not been the same as yours. I chat with the people in my raid community at the raids. I have met their husbands, wives and children. I have shared meals with them. I have gone to non-Pokemon events with them. Some of these people have become my actual friends. I say it's a community game, and I mean it.
Now, I'm not saying that everyone will have an experience like mine or those in my city. Surely you can see how suggesting you get on Facebook or Discord is a few steps below connecting with other players on a non-game level. But even a simple "Hey, are you guys doing any more raids after this one?" can build a foundation for you to play with others more regularly.
Honestly, it just sounds like you don't like raids. But the system seems to be working, so I don't know if the problem is with Pokemon Go.
It's dependent on your location. There's a bunch of communities here for the game, there's groups of people who all seem to know each other from the game, some that are all the level 40 players in the area, and one pretty big one of a caravan of 20+ people who drive around hitting raids all day.
Also can the game stop giving me shit rewards for the catch 10 Pokemon quest please, all I want is Magikarp not 3 revives.

May I ask what city you live in? I live in a fairly small one, and when I go to raids, it seems that people either stick to themselves or to the small group they go with. In addition, I think the raids aren't really set up well to be something fun to repeat. As I've said, I think the battle system is incredibly boring, has a laggy feeling to it, and is one of the strongest deterrents against wanting to do raids. Since you can only really do 1-2 raids per day without hoarding coins/spending money, and since the pool of Pokémon available in raids is fairly small, there's also not a lot of reason to keep doing them. There's also the limited time frame-you can only really do raids between 5 and 7 pm outside of the weekends. Finally, there's been lobby issues at most of the raids I've gone to, which is a bit shocking because that's been an issue for almost a year now. I fully plan on doing enough raids this month to catch a Latios, and I might do a few with my brother so he can catch one too, but I have absolutely zero desire to do any outside of that.
I agree that the system does work to an extent, and I'm happy it works for you. However, I think the system could still really use some major improvements. I think a lot of the reason that social apps are required have less to do with the raids being challenging, and more to do with the game just lacking features to successfully bring people together for them. I think that right now, there are so many raids that I just assume most of them aren't worth going to because they usually aren't. I can see why lowering the amount of raids might not be the best solution to this problem, but I still think it's a problem that could be solved (perhaps showing people how many people are at a raid before going to it would help). I think that the system does work for some people, but I don't think it's working for as many people as it should be.
Regionals from level 1 or 2 raids, and make Magikarp super common. It's the best I can hope for.
I live in Buffalo NY, so it's not exactly big city living. I can't disagree that the battle system sucks. Lobby issues do occur, but you can usually get people to back out if things go sideways for your phone. It's also not as fun of a game if you aren't spending money, which admittedly, I do. Being able to do only one or two raids a day would severely hamper my enjoyment. I'm getting the feeling folks in your city don't interact well with strangers? If so, all of my advice goes out the window.
I sincerely hope they can find a way to bring folks in your situation the enjoyment folks in my situation have with the game. But given the slow progress the team has shown for things like this, I'm not holding my breath. I wish you luck!
I think people in my city are more friendly than regular. It's a college town, so everyone playing is roughly the same age. I think it's just more that there's not a lot of need to interact much. I don't think anyone at the raids I've gone to has spent money on them, so usually people just do the raid and leave, since they can't really do another one. When the raids first launched, there were people going from raid to raid, but I haven't seen people do that in a long time.
Some people have very specific, and narrow, opportunities to raid. I'm not particularly for taking those away.
On the "how people interact at raids"
In our town there is a good sense of community we all come together talk and wait for other people to show up etc
However I was in London at the weekend for the unowns and did a raid there that was exactly how you first described all separate people or small groups and no interaction at all with everyone else
So it depends what the area is like and how people work as a group

I'm still in hope that Niantic will move region exclusive Pokemon around from Gen 1. Only need 2 non-legendary Kanto Mon to complete the Dex (still need 4 legendaries including Articuno and Zapdos). Once i'm done with levelling Magikarp, i'm onto Doduo levelling.
Least the double candy event can be doubled further with use of the Pinap berries, up to 12 candies from 1 Pokemon catch.

as someone with a full 151 Kanto dex (1st world problems, I know) it's kinda meh but I still find myself checking for damn shinys.
still happy for everyone who started in gen 2 or gen 3 cause the spawns look great

Yeah seeing as how the shinies were found in the code recently wouldn't be surprised if they'll be found during this event.
Seeing lots of ghosts around, which is cool for the people who still need it for the special research.
Not seeing enough Magikarp around though!

Already got a wild Lapras from this event, haven't seen a wild Lapras in idk a year, year and a half.
Sweet Jesus they need to lower the amount of Kanto Pokémon a bit. I'm sure they'll lower it soon though, since right now it seems like its 1 Hoenn or Johto Pokémon for every 20 Kanto. Should be a 60/40-75/25 split.
also make ditto common please thanks

I haven't seen a non-Kanto Pokemon since the event started, I assumed it was only Kanto at this point.
I encountered one Whismur, and had one Whismur and one Sableye on my nearby. That was over an hour long period.
From where I'm at currently; the only non Gen 1 I've been seeing is Duskull, because it's nesting at a park.
Managed to earn 40 Magikarp candies from three catches. I'm liking this event so far.
EDIT: Oh, and I officially have a gold Kanto medal with no evolutions and no raid battles. My hard work and luck paid off!

Man, I need to go ham for Magikarps. I only saw 3, caught 2 today. I got my 2nd Grimer since the game started, though! So that's pretty nostalgic. I looked & the 1 other Grimer I caught during, like, the 1st weekend I had the game is the oldest Pokemon in my storage right now. Maybe I might get Muk after all!
