Pokemon GO has been updated and these are the latest changes

Because Pokemon Go is a game that involves walking around and searching for Pokemon, your business could be capturing the attention of these players as they wander about town.

If you were bummed that the “nearby” feature on Pokemon GO didn’t exactly help you find Pokemon, then you are in luck! The reports show a couple of screenshots of this new tracker system taken from the game itself. According to Tech Crunch, Niantic specifically notes that this system is just a test and it could change significantly before it will be released officially.

The release of Pokemon GO last month ushered in the biggest mobile app craze the world has ever seen. You’ll have to grant the website permission to access your location, after which you’ll be able to search the map for sightings. “Check the nearby list for other Pokemon”. It is said that the new tracker is limited to a max of 500 meters, so it only applies to Pokemon in your vicinity. Instead of footprints, you’ll see Pokemon in tufts of grass, a stylistic denotation that harkens back to the tall grass from the classic handheld titles. Prior to Pokemon Go, I struggled with a motivation to use my free time to go for a walk. Turns out that’s not the case, as someone has figured out how the new tracker works. Sometimes Pokemon pop up even if they are not on the “sightings” readout. Understanding this will act as the first step toward successfully tracking Pokemon. So be quick and catch all the Pokemon you can. Any Pokemon which is within 200 m gets added to your list! Just make sure you know where you are going when you play this game. The new Pokemon update removes a glitch that had prevented trainers from getting XP bonuses from “Great”, “Good”, and “Excellent” throws in the past. People have got so involved with this game that they have ventured into restricted areas!

It should be noted that Niantic does not allow players to buy and sell their “Pokemon GO” accounts.
