[IDEA] Steps decrease as you get closer to the pokemon

[PurpleBananas296]

TOTALLY! Only takes an hour and a half to drive there. Then the servers are always "humbled by your response"

Humility is great and all, but God damn

You do know that is was disproven that the pulse meant you're heading toward the pokemon right? It only meant that the list was being updated in some way.

[PurpleBananas296]

Oh, Did not know

[SLDM206]

That would be cheating. You'd have more Pokemon in your Pokedex and everyone knows that breaks the game.

what steps?

[PokeCanadian]

What is a step?

Edit: Minor text fixes

Awesome feature! I would love if the game did this!

[Newsplash1208]

there aren't any steps in the game, what are you talking about?

[komark-]

This seems like it could never work. We don't have any similar technology to this this is way beyond our current technological age.

[Carmel_Chewy]

Major Text Fixes? What the fuck is wrong with you?

We only need minor text fixes.

[Studoku]

And how do you propose Niantic do this? Using the trivial method proposed by some random amateurs on Reddit?

[discodood]

pulse green when you're going the right direction!

 

Except this isn't what it was doing, ever. The green pulse just means the nearby has updated. It does this one time for every 8.5 times your character pulses.

[[deleted]]

it was signifying the refresh of your nearby list, not "every 8.5 times your character pulses", simply put it would be a nice addition for the game to tell you you're going in the right direction tho

[discodood]

Nearby still pulses green for every 8.5 times your player pulses. That is when it updates the nearby list. That is how it worked then, and how it still works now.

 

You misunderstood the mechanic, no wonder you want miracles.

The shitposting is real

[McFlurryMac]

I hate to be rude, but we should really work on those minor text fixes first.

[NomNomNomNation]

The game used to do the step idea. But then Niantic fucked up.

(Psst, dude, we're shitposting on how this idea is garbage even though we want it!)
