From my understanding it's completely random and has nothing to do with nearby spawns. Prepare for an onslaught of Pidgeys and Rattatas.

It seems based on the typical spawns you can expect in an area. You can apparantly 'glitch' the system by going to an area that doesn't have spawn points, which will spawn more rare Pokémon.
Thanks for clearing that up.
Has it been confirmed if it's one way or the other?

I think the consensus was that you had to be 1KM away from the nearest spawn point to get better stuff

Ohhh, derp. I thought those had all gone away.
What's exactly a spawn point and how do you locate them? By memorizing where you've seen previous Pokémons? By launching Ingress?
Well, some mayors here try to make it illegal to play Pokemon Go in their town... I'd be curious if they have a legal ground to stand, in fact.
I had a good day. Took in 138 Pokémon in total including my first (two) Dratini, a Dugtrio, a Growlithe, and a Victreebel which at 1000 CP is a bit weak. Conclusion, I went from 300 Pokéballs to about 50.
It has been Reddit tested.

Thanks. Well, I doubt I'll have enough luck to get any rare Pokemon, but I guess I'll try to take a walk in the 'burbs. I rarely even see a single Pokemon when I'm outside my house.
Yesterday I went for a run in an area that had better Pokemon spawning, and when I used 2 incenses back to back, I got a good bit of Pokemon. Dratini, Eevees, Gastly, Drowsee and more. I find it funny a Dratini was incensed spawned where a actual Dratini was. The incense one ran away sadly, but did get the natural spawn one. Also caught so many Magikarps, increased my candy by 50 in just an hour of running.
Only downside to where I was, is that there are a lot fewer Pokestops. On my main run for 30 min in 1 direction and then 30 min back, prob only hit 8 Pokestops max. While an hour run at my normal part of the trail would hit me like 20, but have a lot less Pokemon around.
On the plus side, the beginning of it at a park where you park has like 6 all next to each other (not counting this in my stat above)

I thought people were nuts for thinking that the number of potions from stops was lowered but...I sit at a Pokestop at work so I'm spinning the damn thing all day and I haven't seen any potions since early yesterday.

Just hatched my 3rd aerodactyl. This game likes me.

yeah it was a dramatic difference. that patch brought harder to catch pokemon and less potions.... they need to hurry up and bring out that new tracker to remedy this -_-

Got the same thing happened to me an hour ago.
The harder to catch Pokemon has completely ruined the game for me. It's just not fun to have 200 CP clefairy jump out of a great ball after a a Razberry.

Got a Scyther from my 10km egg. That's not Mr Mime
Still no Snorlax, Chansey or Aerodactyl either.
At least I finally evolved my favourite Pokemon!
121 in Pokedex now.

One cool thing about this game is that it can bring small sparks of joy to a mundane work day. This monday a Muk was just sitting outside my work. Hadn't even found a Grimer, so that was a very nice surprise. Also hatched a Growlithe today, my first.
Today was crazy for lvl fodder breaking free and running, even at low cp. Level 21 now, but it's getting harder to find exp. fodder since pidgey/rattata/etc are very quick to run away.
I also hit 80 caught today, which I'm pretty happy with, living in a rural area. Hitting 100 will be hard, thinking about calling it quits for a while when I hit that.

Rub it in why don't you!
How many items do you have now?
Just trashed some shit to make room for lunch huntin, so 755
I'm going to Universal Studios in Orlando FL in about 6 weeks. Apparently this is a map of all the Pokestops there. Holy cow! I mean, Pokemon Go will be taking a back seat to my vacation of course. But good to know there are so many Pokestops there to fill up inbetween rides. I'm currently at 500 max items, I'll very likely get it up to 600 before I leave.
pokemonnearby has been failing me :[
bulbasaur, omanyte, pinsir, caterpie and weedle on sightings, but it only found a weedle. missed a cubone earlier today too that didn't show up. and an arbok that I captured yesterday didn't appear either.
edit: the cubone actually popped up with 30s to go

Dude, that's awesome.
I'd image Disney World and Downtown Disney would be pretty hoping with Pokestops too, no?

After finding the nearest Charmander nest a couple days ago and jogged around 21 miles around this humongous park on and off since Sunday, I finally evolved my first Charizard today!
If anything, Pokemon Go's hooked me up with some decent stamina since I've started playing. xD You're next Bulbasaur!

Depends on the moves I think. I found him awful with Steel Wing/Ancient Power but recently got one with Bite/Hyper Beam that seems to work a lot better.
My experience recently is the same. It's missing A LOT. Can usually find everything with only the in game tracking though.

Yes I'm Jelly at all you good nest people. I'd gladly exchange our Magmar and Ponyta nest for a Charmander or even Bulbasaur nest ;p
Depends entirely on IV and move set

Thanks! All of the nests I've been to so far have primarily been parks connected to golf courses or regular parks.
Yeah, super lucky they're all relatively easy to get to around the Sheffield area. The local FB group has been super helpful.

Ooh where's the Charmander nest? I've noticed they seem to be pretty common now on the hill from the train station up to Hallam, but anywhere more common is great.

Concord Park. The problem is that it's so big you're gonna want a bike to get to scout it quickly. I did the hard thing and jogged all over the damn place. Plus they tend to come in waves so if you're on the other side of the park, you need to haul ass and hope they're still there.
Chelsea Park is also a Bulbasaur nest and thankfully that's smaller. Still has the issue of spawns coming in waves though. Golf courses in Rotherham and Doncaster are apparently lit with Bulbasaurs and Charmanders respectively according to the FB group.
Hillsborough Park near where I live is a Pikachu nest and you can easily get enough in less than an hour to evolve to Raichu.
What's the best site for checking?
pokemongohub says 78%
pokemon.gameinfo.io says 69-96%
Not too hot - especially considering I had a much better one that I accidentally transferred

That's its best moveset for gym defending. It's almost impossible to have a bad Dragonite.

...hate me...
Both a Dragonair and a Weezing fleeing from Ultra Balls today Had never seen them before.
Now sitting at 5 Pokémon seen but not caught. 84/89
Have been hatching so many eggs though. Mostly shit but at least got a handful of new evolutions lined up, including 2 Eevees ready to go.
Oh and btw pokemonnearby didn't seem too sharp today. Not showing lots of Pokemon that were up on my radar.

he just made my day <3
VERY nice. Caught three so far and yet my highest was/is 130CP. Same deal for Snorlax - caught three, best is 600-odd. Luckily, they've all had non-ideal moves bar one teeny Snorlax, but I don't even want to think about the Candy/Dust I'd have needed to make it work.
Seems like I need a lucky 10k hatch to get either at a decent level... but my 10k luck has been pretty good so far, so it feels like I'm overdue a Jynx or an Onix. Please no.
Whereabouts in the UK is the Charmander nest? I'm guessing not Manchester as I've never seen a Charmander here.
Never mind, just saw the the nests are nowhere near me Give Manchester some love please Niantic.
