https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/4wsvx6/pokemon_go_v0330_update_minor_updates_megathread/

NEW UPDATE

--Nearby list "ghost" pokemon issue appears to be fixed. Pokemon actually disappear from list now once you are no longer in range.
--Trainer name can be changed one time only.
--Nice, Great, Excellent XP bonuses are back and now stack with Curveball bonus as well.

For more specifics, see reddit thread above. =)

What do you have in mind?

Addressing the tracker with a positive change for the first time seems good to me. I mean the fact that the Pokemon are actually nearby if they're on the thing now is wonderful.

The Nice, Great, Excellent glitch was the biggest issue that came out of the last update and it's awesome to see them turn around and fix that relatively quickly.

GPS tracking is off, crashes, lags etc.

So what's the deal with new "Sighting" feature?

For now, the reddit has found these things:

The order of appearance on the list has no bearing on proximity.

Repeats no longer occur. If there a three Weedle in the area, only one will show as an icon.

Pokemon that have de-spawned or moved out of range will disappear from the list. Yay for accuracy!
The range seems to be approx. 200 meters.

Users in San Francisco have been selected to, let's say, beta-test a new Nearby feature that centers around Pokemon spawning near Pokestops.
Screenshots here

The grass is still a mystery.

Anyone with more info please add onto this, this is by no means an exhaustive list, I just collected info from the reddit.

Squirrel August 8th, 2016 8:32 PM

Ooo this is really interesting. As a general comment I do like this update a lot - although it's not a hugely impactful set of changes it is still a step in the right direction and I can only see what they've changed as positive. Removing the 'ghost' Pokémon especially is something that I'm very thankful for and I like the idea of only showing one of each species in the nearby tracker - should look a lot less messy now for sure. I'll have to head out tomorrow and try these changes properly but from what I've read I'm happy! Also the beta testing thing you mentioned is interesting Siri, any further news on this?

Via Serebii, this is what the new tracking is looking like:

Squirrel August 8th, 2016 8:54 PM

That's interesting, so it tells you which PokéStop the Pokémon is nearest to and then shows you where said PokéStop actually is? I'll be curious to see how informative this actually ends up being but I can see it being considerably more useful for city players than rural players. "This PokéStop is nearest" means a heck of a lot more when you have 50 PokéStops in close proximity than when you have 3 spread throughout an entire village haha. I think it's a cool thing to do and I like the direction they're taking it in but can't help but think it could be a lot more ironed out.

Winter August 8th, 2016 9:11 PM

I like how they actually tell you which is the nearest landmark that spawns the pokemon, because you can have the pokemon appearing as nearby yet for a good hour, you never see it pop up for you. =.=

Phoenixstarz August 9th, 2016 12:52 AM

A much needed update, it still will favour city players rather than rural players but still I'm very happy about it was exactly what we needed. Now all they need to do is add more pokestops to rural areas and then stop GPS spoofs then i will be even happier

Adore August 9th, 2016 1:15 AM

Beta testing for the new tracker is currently live for all players in the downtown area of San Francisco. Here's a video of it in action.

I happen to like this way more than the initial system; it's much more efficient. :)

Lunar August 9th, 2016 3:17 AM

I think this is a really positive change, it fixes the tracking problems Go has had and the new system does seem useful and more accurate. I read an article where it says the sightings list is refreshed every 10 seconds so if a Pokemon is no longer in range it won't appear on the list for what felt like forever.

As much as people have moaned at Niantic, I think we have to go them credit for creating a whole new system that seems to work even better than the first :)

The grass thing is probably leafs animations that we could se on map, i guess that would be that, but this with pokestop is this live or is it feature comming up in next update?

Update threads should have the version in the title ...

Are you a part of this test? :o If so, how quickly are you able to track things? How hard is it to use? Is it causing server lag again?

Sorry how're you using it to find new stuff? :o Just because the old stuff now times out when it's gone rather than ghosting around for ages or did you get to test the new system with the PokéStop feature?

Afterglow Ampharos August 9th, 2016 9:15 AM

Found bug:
Three different times last night, my Sightings listing was totally empty - so I tried closing and opening the app, and not only did Sightings fill up with three new Pokemon, but a Pokemon appeared right beside me that wasn't there before.

If things seem a little dry for you guys, try closing and opening the app like I did, maybe the new system is bad at spawning Pokemon like it should??

Edit: Yup, have had to do this restarting several more times today to make sure Pokemon don't stop spawning.

404 not found. Could you show us which page on Serebii you mean, because I can't find anything on Serebii that addresses the radar at all.

I hope that people outside San Fran get to join in soon! Lucky beta testers.

Check the gif near the end of this article: http://daily.pokecommunity.com/2016/08/09/pokemon-go-update-brings-nearby-system/ that's the gif he linked, not sure why his version is gone now though haha.

Unfortunately, I am not. :( I just found the video on Twitter. But I will be in the city next week, and will report back with answers to your questions then!

From my understanding though, the reviews seem pretty positive.

Afterglow Ampharos August 9th, 2016 9:45 PM

Ok I gotta tell you guys this to save some agony later on.

Tonight I noticed a Geodude silhouette in my Sightings (first slot, if that matters). But nothing was appearing, and it was so late at night I didn't want to go outside.

So I decided I decided to close and restart the app. Nothing to lose, right? Maybe something will--

Geodude spawns right next to me when the app boots back up.

OBVIOUSLY, Pokemon spawns are NOT VERY STABLE right now, and restarting the app CAN help get you Pokemon you would otherwise miss. Good luck trainers!!

(This combined with my earlier post about restarting the app leads me to believe the spawns are not very stable, that is. It's not an isolated incident)

jstaylor62 August 10th, 2016 5:16 AM

Has anyone else noticed some very erratic tosses? I've caught over 2K Pokemon, but since this last update I've been getting some very erratic first tosses on monsters. I mean the toss goes way, way over and takes almost 2 seconds before it lands way behind the monster along the edge of the border.

Whoa! How wild.
Nope, nothing like that. Closest I've come is that sometimes it takes a long time for the game to load a new Pokeball back in my hand after I missed a shot.

This update has an annoying new feature, it has a screen come up every 10 minutes when your avatar is moving faster then a slow walk. Meaning it doesn't just appear while riding in a car, it also appears when your avatar freezes then speeds up in order to catch up with you. I'm guessing also on a bike.


Its says "You're moving too fast, don't use the game while driving". Then has a button you can push that says I'm a passenger.


It'd be fine if it appeared once the car started driving then maybe if your car slowed down and stopped like to get gas then got back on the interstate it'd appear again.




But it appears every 10 minutes, even if you hit I'm a passenger, like you magically traded spots with the driver. It also appears during a battle. Since I only have a couple seconds to tap on the Pokémon when I'm riding in a car on the interstate, if the screen comes on a new Pokémon
it will likely be gone by the time I click I'm a passenger.


It's a shame others have to ruin the game for everyone else, it's also a shame this is a terrible addition to the game.
