    Sightings was rolled out to everyone, and is not as good as the original tracker but at least it's accurate (which we can't say about the tracker in effect for the last several weeks). Sightings basically tells you all the pokemon currently very close to you but not much else. However, if a pokemon drops from the list then you at least know it is in the opposite direction you are walking, and pokemon on the list are not too far away. It doesn't tell you anything about the relative distance of what is on the list, though.

    The new Nearby feature is different and is what WK described above. It's only in effect in certain areas.

    Ok thanks. The article I read made it seem like the sightings was trial based too so I guess that was wrong.

    Caught a Gyrados on the way to work. I'm up to 101 pokemon caught and level 22. The experience to gain levels after 20 is brutal.

    So far I'm level 20 (Team Valor, if you're wondering) and I've a Pokédex of "Caught 68, Seen 69" god damn Hitmonlee escaped me in my attempt to capture him.

    Most powerful Pokémon so far are Pidgeot, Jolteon, Vaporeon, Hypno, Golduck and Parasect in that order for my "squad", I'm debating trying to raise my Raticate up massively from 525 as he knowns Hyper Beam and would effectively become a 1 shot kill.

    There's a lot of very powerful Vaporeon, Golduck and Gyarados (and a few Poliwrath) in my area which means the fact that I have a powerful Jolteon is very useful.

    Biggest gripe right now is simply this: 10km eggs. I managed to get 1 in Norway and sadly Mr Mime hatched from it (mid powered not even particularly worth the level up I think). Mr Mime is a 5km egg creature meaning I lost out on getting a top tier creature. Since coming back to the UK I've sadly not obtained a single 10km egg despite regularly hatching the 5km ones just by walking to work and home again daily.

    Elusive starter is a Pikachu, I've hatched 3 Charmanders and a very powerful Bulbasaur. I've caught about 3 or 4 Squirtle's even though not hatched one. Yet even banging out 2km eggs like no tomorrow has not yielded a Pikachu.

    Well now that I'm into the 20s and looking for that last 1/3 of pokemon, progress has been slow. I did get level 23 yesterday and I'm up to 110 pokemon caught. Apparently temperature matters so when I went to visit my parents in hot Antioch I caught a lot of Fire types.

    That explains why I get so few fire types...

    I haven't really played the game for a few weeks now. I just keep getting the same ones over and over, and for some reason all the really good Pokémon (high CP etc) were the ones I caught when I was below level 20. In my experience, the game is designed to hook you in early and just enjoy your company later on without giving you much reward at all.

    Yeah the 'endgame' is brutal and there's not much to offer once you basically reach level 20 and catch what is in your area. It's fun to go to new areas to find different types but how are you supposed to catch 15 of them to evolve it?

    I dunno. I have an old phone that runs it and I'd be willing to part with that for 50 bucks. Too bad shipping to south america is probably gonna cost even more than that. Better if you find someone locally who would sell you theirs.
