The "Nearby" tracking system allows you to hunt "Pokemon Go" creatures without too much effort. The thing is, it is currently only for a "subset of users." Reports show that the update was only for players in San Francisco, though some claimed to have seen it from other areas as well.
The latest "Pokemon Go" update shows two categories: "Nearby" and "Sightings." So, what is the distinction between the two? "Nearby" simply gives a hint that a "Pokemon" is close to a "Pokestop." When a player sees "Pokestop" with circles around them, he can expect that a "Pokemon" is within.
Meanwhile, "Sightings" show "Pokemon Go" creatures a sprout of green leafy thing behind them. They are not close to a "Pokestop," and that means players need to go on a wild-goose chase. This replaced the tracking system with one to three footsteps to show how close the wild creature is. Niantic removed the "three-step tracking" system as it was damaging their server according to Entertainment Weekly.
Along with the latest update, Niantic also fixed the award system which is very rewarding to say the least. Now, "Pokemon Go" player gets the deserved points of XP for "nice," "great," and "excellent" ball throws!
A trainer, without a doubt, knows that catching an animated "Pokemon Go" creature needs an ultra-precise curveball throw. It is good to know that the latest update have also made improvements in its accuracy.
Achievements are important to show your hard work in collecting all those animated characters. Details of the "Pokemon Go" update showed that they have fixed the "incorrect Medal icons." Fortunately, the battery saver mode has been made possible for iOS so players can spend more time hunting for that elusive creature.
For safety, players must affirm that they are not driving to continue with the game. However, a dialogue box will call the attention of all "Pokemon Go" trainers that they "should not play while traveling above a certain speed."
