New Nearby Detecting Feature being tested!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Announced on their Facebook page and on the official Pok\u00e9mon Go website, the developing teams in Niantic Lab had officially confirmed that they are working on a better Pok\u00e9mon tracking system for Pok\u00e9mon Go!<\/p>\n

We\u2019re currently testing a variation of the \u201cNearby Pok\u00e9mon\u201d feature with a subset of users. During this period you may see some variation in the nearby Pok\u00e9mon UI.<\/span><\/p>\n

-Niantic Lab<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ever since the downfall of the paw print\/footprint tracking system, all Pok\u00e9mon GO players experience extreme difficulty when trying to track down Pok\u00e9mon shown on the nearby list. Things became even more chaotic as third party tracking websites such as Pokevision received \u201ccease or decease\u201d letters from Niantic Lab, \u201casking\u201d them to shut down their services as Niantic Lab think such service will damage the integrity of the game.<\/p>\n

John Hanke, the CEO of Niantic Lab, had posted an article on the Pok\u00e9mon Go official website, trying to explain to gamers how third parties websites such as Pokevision is actually using up the resources of the server, which is hurting both existing and future Pok\u00e9mon Go players.<\/p>\n

The link to that article is http:\/\/pokemongo.nianticlabs.com\/en\/post\/update-080416\/<\/a><\/p>\n

While enduring countless complains and accusations, Niantic Lab had finally release news on the new Pok\u00e9mon tracking system and implementing part of it in this recent update.<\/p>\n

New Sightings System and no more \u201cfake\u201d Pok\u00e9mon<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The nearby list now had been changed to a Sightings list, having the same functions which is allowing player to see what Pok\u00e9mon is nearby.<\/p>\n

\"097\"<\/p>\n

According to information from Syndetira Azerith and other players, the recent updates on the tracking system is much more than just a prettier display. The nightmare of having despawned Pok\u00e9mon showing up on the nearby list had always troubled most of the players and taking away all the fun in Pok\u00e9mon hunting.<\/p>\n

For those gamers who were not familiar with Pokevision and other similar Pok\u00e9mon tracking websites, each Pok\u00e9mon, after spawned, will remain in a location for up to 15 minutes before it despawn. In the old tracking system, the despawned Pok\u00e9mon will remain on gamers\u2019 nearby list for a long time, suffocating the nearby list and reduce the accuracy of the list because it simply cannot display more than 9 nearby Pok\u00e9mon at any given time. These false hope had driven many gamers to madness and eventually people give up to do further searching.<\/p>\n

Such caching functions had been disable with this recent update, consequently freeing a lot of spaces in the new sighting list to show more actual existing Pok\u00e9mon around the location of the gamer.<\/p>\n
