They should have added a picture of the leader in your player profile. Possibly with the subtitle "DO IT FOR HER".
Is it known what broke the steps to begin with?

I can suddenly not get the Pokestop I'm at to give items, there's nothing in the "sighted" thingie, and when I tap on gyms, it won't show me them. So weird.
Edit: And now it's working again, crisis averted. I do see this weird glitch, still, where all the gyms around me turned yellow.

Not sure what the minimum distance you need to be to catch a pokemon, but in this case you mention, if you're walking 200m to the edge of the radius of the circle, you'd already be walking straight through where the pokemon (I think) so this is not the worst case, this might be close to a better case scenario.
Edit:
On another note, thought i'd maybe ask you guys, but there are a lot of Vaporeons around my area, and I evolved a Jolteon to combat them, but Vaporeon is just way better statwise than Jolteon. So what pokemon should I aim for to handle lots of water types? I see plenty of bellsprouts and an oddish here and there, so i'm trying to work my way towards a victreebel or Vileplume
These + Venusaur (if you chose it, as the catched ones are all trash) + Exeggutor.
You guys seen this right? How the new tracking system is going to work.

Yep. That was discovered yesterday. It looks like the test group is still San Francisco.

Is anyone else running into the issue of not being able to transfer Pokemon? I can do everything else but transfer them. When I scroll up, it shows half of a white box and won't let me scroll further to see the "Transfer" button.

That sucks. Tons of pokemon are found in the wild in the anime/games. Considering the "exploration" aspect of the game, it should really be the same for this.
They moved it a few patches ago. Tap the little circle in the bottom right corner of your screen when you're looking at a Pokemon, and you'll have the option to transfer or favorite that Pokemon.
Touch the small icon in the bottom right corner when viewing a Pokemon. It should have both the Favorite and Transfer options.
What other thoughts do you have on it? So does this help track pokemon? Seems weird to me. They show you what pokemon is at a pokestop? And then the ones in the grass are in the wild and just a guessing game on where they're at?
They should allow people to send tickets with new PokeStops / Gyms proposals. They could ban big cities from adding new stops or something. My situation isn't as bad as other people here, but living in the outskirts can be a bit crap at times too. Not as much, but a bit.

What if Pokémon in the "Sightings" list only show up on the Nearby list after they're been encountered/caught by a trainer? That would make in-game sense how they'd go from only having vague directions to a more specific area.
excellent
The driver prompt is pretty quick on the trigger. Took one step today and up it came. Doesn't bother me at all but the trigger sure is interesting.
Why punish people who are living in appropriately dense communities? That's rude.

Man all these scanner suck now. Mine scans incredibly slow and misses a shit ton on mon.
My experience from being in 'rural' locations is that it's extremely easy to figure out where pokemon spawn anyway. Imo the problem with rural areas and PGO is lack of pokestops/gyms and lack of pokemon spawns to begin with, but finding them once they spawn really shouldn't be an issue. The less intersections, roundabouts, buildings, parks etc. there are, the less places there are for pokemon to spawn really.
I'm in a rural town currently and it's been easy peasy. Frequent spawns throughout the town and in the parks/around schools.
But it seems like out on the country roads it's significantly less.
Well, the worst case, following this directions, would be missing the pokemon at the cross by the smallest distance for it to appear.
If the radius is 100m, and you have to be at 10m, you can have to walk 687 meters. 670 meters for 20m, 694 meters for 5m.
Close enough to 700 to not matter (the last distance should be 100, not 200)

Should be a way for Pokemon go players to help their rural Bros and sisters out. Nation wide trading might help, or maybe players can pitch for new Pokestops if a high number of ppl ask for it.
Thunder-type and Jolteon so bad in this game, you should focus on Grass-types like the aforementioned to combat the Vaporeon army.
There's a better solution, anyway, if the localisation and the 100m rules is decent:
- walk straight till it disappear, and mark the point
- turn 90° right, and walk till you're 100m away from the previous point, staying at the limit (walk to the right if it's not appearing, to the left if it's there) It'll be tricky at the beginning, especially if the previous walk was short, but will quickly be easier.
> he's on your right, on the third summit of an equilateral triangle.
That's ~450m at the worst case...

Kept track of what I caught on my walk today (probably 10km+ give or take), honestly more variety than it felt like but still a very boring list of pokemon, nothing new for the Pokedex

Yes. Let me triangulate through this building. Fuck this new shit. Compass please.

While I'd rather a general compass as well, 3 steps to 2 was triangulation as well, wasn't it?
Was posted on the last page. Anyway, I'm not gonna do all that just to find my Pokémon.

Got Eevee from my third 10k egg, not even a good one...
I just have no luck with 10k eggs.

I was very happy to get a chancey out of a 10k - unfortunately I haven't seen a 10k egg in what feels like a week
Is there any breakdown into what influences egg spawns? I am tempted to try hitting up a variety of different poke stops in quick succession when im near the end of my current egg
So I read that there's a beta version of the tracking system in San Francisco only right now. But then I've heard some people say it's only flagged on certain accounts.
Wondering if in theory I go to SF this week I'll have access to this feature. Because I am going there this week.

what I do is buy incubators and just hatch the 5k and use the unlimited for all the 2k. hatching the eggs open up more slots and you can possibly get more 10k eggs from random pokestops. I don't know if you can do more than that.

Where was this? Aside from the Charmander (still never seen one) and a ton more Drowzees this is almost exactly the same kind of ratio I'm experiencing.
I would imagine it's really only active for people already active in SF. Would be my guess anyways. Be kinda neat if it just started working while you are in the city though.
That's a great explanation but holy cow that's also a lot of walking. You also have to act quickly since the 'mon could despawn at any moment and all of that walking for nothing could get annoying pretty quickly. Especially when you are in a hurry going to school/work and you just want to catch that new Pokemon but you can't since you have to do all that "dancing". Why can't they just add a track like on the original trailer indicating how many meters left you are from the Pokémon so we can go just straight to that point and move on?
Yeah that's what I figured, I'll report back when I find out tomorrow haha
