I'm slightly annoyed. I finally got a chance to catch my first Pikachu, with half-decent CP too, and it ran away. Right after it ran away, it appeared on my brother's game (he was standing right next to me), and he caught it with the first throw. ;_; What's unfair to me is that while it didn't appear on my map after disappearing, it still appeared on my brother's map. Oh well. At least I finally got that Dratini...

Well all Pokemon spawn in place for everyone to catch for 15 minutes, once you get into the fight the Pokemon is removed from the map in 1 of 2 ways, either you catch it and it dissappears or else it runs away from the fight and it is removed. If you choose to escape from the fight the Pokemon remains on the map to allow you leave combat and catch some better Pokeballs or Raspberrys fast to catch him.

Hey, thanks for the info! I didn't know that. Still, pretty annoying. Pokémon vanishing when you're trying to capture them is probably the feature I hate the most because it feels so unfair. You don't even have a chance, there's nothing you can do to stop it from happening! I'd be OK (although I wouldn't like it) with it if I could still find the pokémon, but I can't and that sucks.
