Tell how would it be perfect then.
Would it be perfect if we had Pokevision ingame that shows every pokemon where it is and you could tap it with your finger so you dont even need to walk there?
That how it sounds most people want it.

I'm personally fine with the direction the tracker is going, but I think a lot of people want the step system from week 1 back.
How about an order in the Pokémon and the usage of three steps for the Sightings?
I agree with putting them in order, guess its not at least always like that now.
With 3 steps I think it would be too easy.
Imo perfect would be what we have now, with pokemons in order from nearest to farthest, with higher update rate.
Interesting, where can I read more about this bug?
It is not. I have often seen the Pokémon second or third on the list appearing first. Even having three-four Pokémon visible, and not the first.
Three steps is the identical system, but just with faster triangulation.
Not always at least, sometimes pokemons even pop that were not in "nearby" list at all.
Aka too easy.

I need to not be afraid to actually use some. I've done nothing but collect it, I have the same problem playing RPGs, I let useful items go to waste by not wanting to use them. xD

https://Pokemonnearby.io/nearby.html has been pretty stable for the last 24 hours so and is working under maximum capacity, so give it a go.
Last night the game showed me an omanyte nearby but the Scanner wouldnt. I tried the scanner 10 minutes later and suddenly it showed the omanyte with 10 seconds left in an area i pretty much walked past
You do know the direction of what is closest has changed rifht?
That scanner has been a great tool while the in-game tracking was broken, but now the game actually works better. Several rare pokemon I've tracked down have not appeared on that scanner at all, or have appeared on one scan and not the next. Trust the game, if it's in your sightings, it's around.Last night the game showed me an omanyte nearby but the Scanner wouldnt. I tried the scanner 10 minutes later and suddenly it showed the omanyte with 10 seconds left in an area i pretty much walked past
More than getting the steps back, I actually wish the game would give an idea of the time remaining on pokemon. Maybe a green-orange-red symbol for showing 10+ minutes/5-10/0-5.
Vipu has said it works for him from left to right consistently. I have seen the inverse, that right to left offers better indication but that I have even seen Pokémon appear first that were in the middle.

I finally fought a gym today. I beat one of the pokemon in the gyms and was hoping to gain some CP for the pokemon by beating it but nope...just a few XPs for my character. Disappointing.
No I didnt, I said mostly, not always.

I've never used any, I've got over 200k lol
yeah, one of my biggest issues with the game is how little of an incentive there is to partake in the gym system
the reward system is fucking awful
this is why at level 27 i still rarely if ever battle gyms
i'll do a quick sweep of a bunch of gyms when my cool down hits, quickly redeem, then ignore gyms until my cool down hits again

Yeah, there are gaps in PokémonNearby's scan area, and sometimes Pokémon fall into them, so it's not perfect. It's still pretty useful though, especially in neighborhoods, where triangulation can often be extremely difficult if not functionally impossible.
you in SoCal?
my most common pokemon could pretty much be summed up by that pic
just remove squirtle, add more eevees, and throw in some growlithes, ekans, and paras and you nailed it

Finally got 400 Magikarp candy to evolve my 95% IV one and...
...straight into the garbage.
Wish you could spend like 50 candy or something to change the moves.
Hatched a Rhyhorn and 2 Oddish though, which got me a Rhydon and 90/125 Oddish candy.
And caught a low CP Dragonair to go along with my low CP Dragonite, so they're both in my Pokedex while I collect candy to evolve my good Dratini
112 in the pokedex now.

It maybe was when it was getting into issues with either the area of the search being large but gappy, or Niantic silently nulling the second query made sub 5 seconds from the last.
I think both of those issues are fixed now the first one was fixed before it was offline for the unknown6 issue, the second one I sorted out only like 12 hours ago, give or take.
Nah, the armpit of Iowa.

I'm either really lucky of Evees naturally tend to have high IV's. Got 4 in the past 2 days with over 90% perfection. I've been catching them and not getting them from eggs.
Guys sorry to be dense but what post do I have to quote to obtain the password for this site?
same here. i spent 3 days traveling to another city everyday, standing on a bridge with like 100 other people trying to catch magikarp for hours, finally got myself a gyrados with good IV's, and those were his attacks.
I feel cheated.

I just threw out 3 95+% Vaporeans because the game won't stop giving them to me (I still have 4). Give me some Jolteons darnit!
In other news I shoved all the candies I could into my 98% Gyrados. Think he's pretty beefy.

I got good IVs eevees both from eggs and wild... The problem for me is that my high IVs vaps (93+) have terrible moves...

Yeah, they need to implement some sort of system where the reward goes higher the longer you hold a popular gym. Puts some incentive in trying to hold a gym that is overtaken easily.
This game is bleeding out pretty fast.
The new "nearby/sighting" function is still as shit as the previous one. Now it all depends on how many Pokestops you have close to you. If you have 2 ... we'll, you are pretty much fucked.
I live in a city called Breda ... it's located in the Netherlands. Sure, i'm able to find Pikachu, Bulbasaur and Squirtl ... but that's about it for the "rare" type of Pokemon. I've been playing this game for 3,5~4 weeks now and havent even SEEN a single Snorlax, Onix, Arcanine, Raichu or any other "rare" type Pokemon for that matter.
The complete lack of rare Pokemon is killing this game for me. I know it's location based and I know many of you on NeoGAF find these rare Pokemons with ease ... but right now, for me, it's no fun at all. The gyms in my city are littered with Arcanine's, Snorlax, Charizard ... all with a CP of 2000+. That's fun and all and I admire those who actually HAVE those type of Pokemon but it does make me wonder;
HOW are these people able to actually have these kind of Pokemon? Is it GPS spoofing? Or pure luck with 5 or 10 KM eggs? I've seen a guy (whose nickname I wont give) who was in every gym nearby. 2500+ Snorlax here, 2500+ Charizard there, 2000+ Dragonite over there and it just keeps going.
Niantec should really start doing something about this. This, and not being able to catch or find any rare Pokemon is starting to ruin the fun.
For example; I took over a gym last night which had 6 1500+ Pokemon in it. Was a pretty hard (but fun) battle nontheless. After I dropped my Magmar (1400 CP) in it the gym was under attack right away. I took a look around and saw NOBODY in the area. There are no houses, flats nearby. Now, unless there actually are Turtle's playing Pokemon Go in the sewers, I'd say there's plenty of GPS spoofers (or hackers) active.

Please Niantec, think about those who live in "smaller" cities compared to San-Fransisco, Florida or Los-Angeles. We love to play your game ... but something needs to be done against hackers or the spawn-rate of certain Pokemon

Anyone else having problems lately? Servers have been very unstable for me in the last 12 hours. Missed out some rare Pokémon because I got disconnected every 5 minutes

Is there a list of the estimated highest CP you could get at a particular level. I already have 690 magikarp candies, level 23. My highest CP magikarp with good IV (90%) is 134.
Honestly, there also needs to be more incentive for clearing gyms for your teammates. The experience points are a pittance considering how fast consumables go.

Do you hit those pokemons with great throw or better?

This is why I like the game, for story like this.

Yesterday I went for what was supposed to be a 30 minute walk to try the new sighting system and I must say that it´s working very well! I got a Wartortle, 3 Charmanders, an Eevee, Ryhorn...basically, I could track everything that appeared on my sighting list and some of the Pokes were really far from where I noticed them. This is a huge game changer, now you can finally track Pokémons and the game becomes much more interesting and fun this way. BTW, the initial 30 minute walk ended up lasting 2 hours because of this lol.
Now I wish Niantic would implement something to let us know the distance (or if you´re getting closer to your target), even roughly and a despawn timer. It´s frustrating to spend 15 minutes going after a Dratini only for it to despawn just when you´ve found it´s location
Just to clarify, I´m just talking about the Sighting system, the Nearby system hasn´t been deployed in my city yet.

Just a word of warning to everybody running a personal map or similar: Niantic is handing out IP bans now if more than one account connects from the same IP (say, mapper account + play account), duration etc is unknown for now.
Not sure if this applies to scenarios where more than one legit player connects per IP, but I'd be wary until we know more.

Really appreciate the work you've done with the site!
I hate that leveling up gyms for your own team will leave your roster with no hp and you have to waste tons of potions. Gyms under your own team's control should work as pokecenters above a certain level or something.
