That would be nice and useful. Just need to up the range enough.

Nah, that looks like it'd tell you exactly where shit was, no fun in that.
It's a better option than having no idea where anything is, hence Pokévision, but it's not as good as pawprints was

It has never worked. It's confirmation bias. The list is random. I've had two phones in my hand a lot, and the list is not the same on both. Not even close.
thats the problem......it used to work
now it fucking does nothing at all. It's complete bullshit.
Also.....I think GAF I have over 100 pidgeys lol.....time to use the calculator tonight and waste a good 30 minutes evolving shit.

Most things are better than what they have now. A lot the time, the "nearby" doesn't even show what's directly in front of me.
You mean when tracking worked? Because I've tested this since I started playing, which was when tracking broke. It has never worked.
It seems to work somewhat on 0.29.3, on the little list at the bottom with just three Pokémon.

You're both right and wrong. There's times were it doesn't work BUT I CAUGHT A FUCKING SCYTHER last night using it. IMO it was 90% accurate if I kept following it's direction.

Went out for a walk today to the Lighthouse, not a lot of Pokestops on the way but had 150 pokeballs, 80 great balls and 20 ultras.
Came back with 2 Pokeballs, 4 Great Balls and 4 Ultras.
On the plus side I managed to add the following to my Pokedex
Machop
Growlithe
Starmie
Electrode
Nidorino
Slowbro
Dragonair
Seadra
So overall pretty successful hunt, desperately need to go to the City Centre and refill my pokeballs though

Probably won't happy because Niantic find it too confusing for players
They said it themself in the facebook post it was too confusing

I wasn't going to say anything about this before I had more definitive proof, but in a nut shell , the Pokestop drop rates for anything other than regular pokeballs, revives, and potions have certainly been nerfed. I drive through at least 100 stops a day and certainly notice a lack of any other higher end items. The biggest impact from this change is the lack of hyper and Max potions. I'm having to be much more selective in what gyms I tackle so I don't burn through them all.
Anybody notice this since the last patch? Potions seem to be on the rare side

I looted today more potions than pokeball even after staying 1h45 hours between 2 Pokespots *sad* Got less than last time.
Random is random Q_Q

I swear I still can't see how pokemon are harder to catch after the patch from my experience. It's been quite the opposite for me. I catch pokemon with red rings with only 1-3 normal pokeballs or 1 greatball.
The only exception was that stupid low level Persian that ran away from me yesterday.
I suppose we'll never know for sure until someone datamines the game again.
Also, pokestops seem normal to me as well.

Regular potions though right? I'm saying the high level ones drop rates are lower than last week
the launch weekend when the 3 steps actual diminished down to 1 and then 0 steps at all I chased pokemon all weekend launch and it 100% of the time worked except for when the server shitted out and didn't updated the list. I was able to accurately chase pokemon easy as fuck.
Now even if you do that, you have no clue if the list is even updated or not because half the shit doesn't pop while other times it does.

Ultra balls don't drop very often either

We were using this tracker at earlier today during work, but now I can't remember the name of it for the life of me. Something like slackerjet... anyone know what it is?
IT give's spawn time in seconds so you kind of have to convert to minutes.
Edit: NVM.. got it. skiplagged

So I'm still quite a low level. Sitting at 13 right now. On my way to work I spotted a gym and decided to look at the gym leader.
Level 37 with a 2970 snorlax.... How is this even possible. First time I've seen anyone above 30 and this person is 37?!

What level are you out of curiosity?
Because this had been the norm for me too:

GPS Spofing.
It needs to stop. I was up to 4 gyms tonight, ad then this same guy took them all in a matter of about 5 minutes - impossible to do that without a GPS hack. So annoying.
I should have just cashed in my chips - but it was quiet and no one was around.
Most likely botting.

I'm level 18. I know the majority of people complaining are 20+ I just wanted to point out how the experienced has remained mostly the same (even improved a bit) before and after the update.

I have not been able to catch a Tauros since the update. Ultra balls and razz berry's do absolutely nothing. They constantly run after the first or second attempt. It's pretty annoying. I've been running into 1,000+ CP ones lately and I can't land one.

What level do you start seeing 1000 CP pokemon? Level 20 here and I've only rarely seen ones in the 500's.

What's the point if gym spoofing?. You can only get 100 coins a day if you have 10 gyms at once.

Varies by species. Pokemon seem to be evenly distributed between lv1 and your trainer level minus 1, so if you're level 20 you have a 1 in 19 chance of running into a level 19 poke. trouble is a level 19 pidgey still only has like 400 CP. Tauros has pretty high stats, though, so if you're lv 26 and meeting Tauros there's good odds you'll meet ones over 1000.

Not sure exactly, but you should be close to seeing that yourself. I'm pretty sure I caught a 1000+ CP Seaking and Omastar at 21. I've only encountered 1000+ CP pokemon that don't evolve or if they are in their final form. Tauros, Electabuzz, Magmar and Pinsir are reguarly over 1000+ CP for me. I don't see final forms too often, but when I do they are either depressingly low (my 165 CP Blastoise) or over 1000.
Edit: I'm currently level 24.

Guys I came across this earlier. It only occurs when switching to the app for about a fraction of a second. It behaves like a bug but appears like some sort of riddle. Can anyone decipher?
Missingno.?
If they are gps spoofing they probably stop at 10. But if they are jobs they can just keep going... I imagine Niantic is going to do something though eventually?

it actually becomes a game within a game to be ready to pick up the items while on the train, you gotta be quick with the flick. I was able to get in like 50 pokestops while on the trains from east LA to Santa Monica.
Wow.
Bad luck I guess?
Level 70something bulbasaur...mofo ran away after the first throw.
Level 400something jigglypuff caught on first normal pokeball throw.
Level 830something hitmonchan caught on first normal pokeball throw.
No berries or anything. Level 21.

yup, I'm throwing away all of my pokeballs before item item farming/egg hatching around the park and yet at the end of the time I'm there I have like 200 pokeballs and maybe 3 more hyper potions. it's fucken stupid
It's not a bullet train. And even then, it's harder than you might think. The Pokestop icon only changes when the waves coming out of your character hit it, not when you're within distance. You have to eyeball when you're within range of the Pokestop and hit it at exactly the right time or you'll either pass it by or hit it too early. Again, you can pass out of a Pokestop after you've clicked it, but you can't pass in, so you miss it either way.
Furthermore. If Niantic wanted to eliminate the chance that people wouldn't do stupid crap while playing Pokemon Go, the best bets are to let them wander around the map without wandering around in real life or to simply not have people play Pokemon Go at all. Since I don't think they're going to do either of those things, I think it's safe to say that they're willing to have a certain amount of risk, and I think having something be ludicrously hard to do when you aren't completely focused is adequate as a detraction from trying to hit Pokestops while driving.
I don't think I have fifty Pokestops on my way, but what makes it worse is that it often takes a long time between spinning the thing and the items appearing, so I pass out of range while I'm waiting for the thing to load. Hell, even when I reach Pokestops while walking, sometimes I have to wait something like thirty seconds - spinning the entire time - before the damn thing works.

Niantic's witch hunt for trackers continues as the cooldown time between scans doubles from 5s to 10s: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongodev/comments/4vuijn/psa_minimum_scan_refresh_now_10s/
This means the client can only check for new Pokemon around you (70m radius) every 10 seconds now. Still ok if you are walking, but can affect bike riders going above 25km/h (15mph) and makes finding Pokemon in cars and trains unlikely.

I just need 2x Bulbasaur to finally evolve into a Venasaur. They seem to be aware of this fact though and have all vanished, probably gone into hiding.
