Pokemon GO players are encountering a new glitch that only seems to affect buddy Pokemon. If encountered, you’ll see creatures that are huge on the map. It’s likely something Niantic will look to address soon.
In other Pokemon GO news, Niantic is “actively working on a fix for a bug that causes incorrect vibration notifications related to the Nearby Pokemon feature.” The company posted on Twitter last night:
We are aware of and actively working on a fix for a bug that causes incorrect vibration notifications related to the Nearby Pokémon feature.

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 2 Comments
Niantic is expanding the Nearby feature in Pokemon GO once again. Players “in most regions of the world” should now be able to test it, such as Asia. So long as you can access the game from the App Store or Google Play, Nearby should be available to you.
Also mentioned today is that the team “made some changes to the way the Nearby Pokemon feature functions when there are only a few PokeStops in range.” Sightings now seems to appear when this happens.
Niantic wrote on the Pokemon GO website today:
“The Nearby Pokémon feature is being expanded to more locations. Trainers in most regions of the world, who can access Pokémon GO from the App Store or Google Play, can now test this new feature. To provide a better experience when searching for Pokémon in the real world, we have also made some changes to the way the Nearby Pokémon feature functions when there are only a few PokéStops in range. We will continue to review the feedback submitted on our official social media accounts and in other channels and make changes if necessary.”

New Pokemon GO data mining findings – files for 100 new Pokemon, genders, avatar customization, more
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 0 comments
Data mining is underway on Pokemon GO’s latest update. The Silph Road reports on the findings, which point to a few new features.
Let’s start by going over some of the things we’ve sort of heard about before as well as the less interesting discoveries. First, additional code has now been added pointing to the integration of shiny Pokemon. Niantic also included sponsor placeholders for “GRILL” and “SMOKER” that go along with the “SPATULA”, “THERMOMETER”, and “KNIFE” types from the last update. Tweaks are also made to the Sightings and Nearby system so that PokeStop images can load asynchronously without freezing gameplay.
Audio files – specifically “cries” – now exist for the next 100 Pokemon. Whereas version 0.47 only went up to the first 151 Pokemon, data is now in place up though 251.
