Sounds like you know how the game works, I'm still puzzled by it. I see people walking / standing / sitting around in groups with their phone out, no clue what they're doing. And it's starting to appear or signs, eg the home hardware in Ayr was advertising with "Pokemon Go stop here" on their huge sign. Do Pokemon spawn in a certain location for everyone? Can everyone get the same Pokemon? Do they disappear, move around, respawn? Can you catch the same one multiple times, why camp a spot? And what's a gym. First I thought people meant there was a pokemon at an actual gym lol. I don't know much about pokemon. |
Sure I can answer some of your questions. There are still a few things I am learning myself.
A few things first. While a lot of people are advertising for their Pokéstops. You can get them from the outside in most cases. If they consistently put a lure on the stop. Then a lot of people will stay and camp there. on to the questions. As for biking around. Your eggs will not record any distance if you are going over 20kmph. They don't want people to drive and go. Unfortunately that is not happening as millions are diving as they play to get to the Pokéstops faster. It's inevitable and the police are going to make a lot of money from distracted driving tickets.
Q: Do Pokémon spawn in a certain location for everyone?
A: Yes they do. At least when they appear. I'm not sure how long they last after someone catches or how that system works. Some Pokémon will show up at certain locations all the time. For example in Edmonton there's a trail by my place that has lots of Pikachu's. Which are a little hard to find else where. So some areas will have Pokémon where other areas do not. Much like in the games and this makes people go else where to find them.
Q: Can everyone get the same Pokémon?
A: If it spawns in the same location. Everyone who tries to catch it can get it. So it's available for everyone who is in the location it shows up on. Which is why you see stuff like this happening.
