Theres supposedly an update
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.
Note: this_feature_currently_requires_accessing_site_using_safari
• Added a dialog to remind Trainers that they should not play while traveling above a certain speed; Trainers will have to indicate they aren’t the driver (looks like an annoying feature as you'll get a pop up even if your GPS wanders too fast)
•Fixed a bug that prevented ”Nice,” ”Great,” and “Excellent” Poké Ball throws from awarding the appropriate XP bonuses. (Catch rate appears to be the same)
•Enabled the ability for Trainers to change their nickname one time, so please choose your new nickname wisely (available in the settings)
•Resolved issues with the battery saver mode on iOS and re-enabled the feature (update isn't actually available for iOS yet)
Other fixes
What I've found
• New sightings system
•Fix for swiping left and right on Pokémon screen to browse Pokémon. Much smoother animation like it was before the last update.
•Minor text fixes. Transfer confirmation text has changed, and no more horribly pixelated gym text
Sightings:
Trying to work it out, so far doesn't look too different from 3 step apart from a name change and grass instead of steps?
Credit to u/AlbelTelWicked for this new info, show them some love!
It scans the area around you roughly every ~15 seconds
Any new pokemon that spawn on this scan will be added to the sightings list.
If a pokemon despawns it will be removed from the sightings list.
If you move too far away from a pokemon it will be removed from the sightings list.
I found this distance to be around 700ft/200m (which is what I believe the 3 step max use to be).
Could the new system use a cone of vision?? Does facing a Pokémon make it appear in sightings, and disappear upon looking away?
I don't believe this will be the final tracking solution that Niantic have said they are working on, most likely a placeholder for a future update/band aid solution
All these reminders about where not to play it, Niantic needs to release an update that will make me want to play it. This game is looking washed right now. Gym battles are still horrible, moves are still ridiculously unbalanced, IVs somehow made it into the game, but serve no real purpose, catch rates all *****d up, Pokemon allocated all poorly, got Santa Monica looking like they invented Pokemon while everybody else gettin trampled by rats and caterpillars. Bout to just say eff it and buy a DS cuz this game ain't worth the headache.From Reddit:
Is there a site where it can predict what moves your Pokemon will have after evolving? TIA
I haven't done gym battles yet, but is it just tapping on the screen? If so, that seems extremely easy. Don't you just have to tap really fast?
Update now or later?
Emphasis on sortayou can sorta dodge too
