Pokemon GO Players Posted Spawn Disappearance
Pokemon GO player and Reddit users have posted about the removal of their regular spawn points. Many were sadden and some were angry about the sudden change. Some were wondering if an unannounced migration has happen. Others are blaming Niantic for the disappearing spawn points. There are some Reddit users however, that reported the appearance of new spawn points.
Niantic Reply To Disappearing Spawn Points
So far Pokemon GO developer Niantic has not replied to the reported spawn points' disappearance which is not unusual. There have been speculations as to why the usual spawn points have been removed. One theory is that Niantic has again imposed another migration of Pokemon nests and spawn points. However, most Pokemon GO players reported disappearing spawn points and but only a few handful have noted the appearance of new ones.
Niantic Applying Algorithm In Pokemon GO Spawn Points?
Some are speculating that Niantic is applying some sort of algorithm that seeks to mimic the natural "growth and decline" cycle of Pokemon in the wild, according to Pokemon Go Hub. However, there is no definite word yet on how long the decline last.
If this is true, then Niantic is most certainly aware that this will tend to discourage many Pokemon GO players from going out to catch Pokemon. Gym however, seems to be working fine. Perhaps players should now focus on strengthening their Pokemon in the meantime.
Niantic Adjusting Spawn Points for Upcoming Tracker?
Niantic is currently working on a new in-game tracker for Pokemon GO. The new tracker is currently available for Pokemon GO players in San Francisco only. Perhaps the spawn points will reappear again together with the new tracker. This is simply speculation but it would it would certainly be good news for Pokemon GO players. Hopefully it's as good as or better than the third party trackers.
