The new nearby system isn't really anything special yet. They only released a bit of it.

This one now updates the nearby every few secs I believe. When you see a nearby Pokemon and you go pass the radar distance the radar will pop it off your nearby listing.

It keeps updating so you don't have to restart the game when a Pokemon stays on it.

once again apple proves to be the superior race!! please dont flame me

This new sighting system is definitely more useful than the previous no-steps one. It's no PokeVision, and it still takes a while to find something you want, but now it's much easier to find a Pokemon in a shorter amount of time. It updates every 15 seconds, which in my opinion is the best part since now you have a better idea of where a Pokemon can be, and you have a much easier time finding our whether or not you are getting closer or father away from the Pokemon. Definitely better than what we were stuck with for the past week or so.  

a popular instagram account @pokemongoexpress apparently got to beta test the new tracking system and it looks really cool. no confirmation on yet it's real, but basically a summary of it is that you click a pokemon on the list and it shows you a landmark the pokemon is by.  

In a way I find that kinda stupid. Some cities don't have many PokeStops. So that feature would be so useless to them. And picture being in New York City with that ****. Your list would be endless

Niantic did state some users would be testing new stuff out and they might face some changes while playing, so yeah I think it's real

This...  

The game has always given high preference to more populated areas, which is ridiculous. When pokevision existed, i scanned random tiny towns far away, and there would only be 2 ****ty pokemon in the whole town. Zero pokemon in woods/fields/etc far away from any town.

i live in those "****ty towns"

i have amassed 800+ ekans candy

edit:

btw, from my understanding, pokevision was run by bots who scan a specified path in an area. so maybe the reason only 2 pokemons showed up when you scanned the area was because pokevision just didnt invest their bots on ****ty towns, since a large number of their visitors live in the big cities etc.

i live in a ****ty town away from the city. i've caught a good number of pokemons like growlithes, machomps, and psyducks. ive gathered at least 130+ candies on those pokemons. my top 3 pokemons right now are 3 arcanines over 2000 CP. i even have 1 sycther, which to me, is kinda rare.

i wont deny the fact that theres a lot more ekans and zubats though, and that water-based pokemons are definitely out of reach for me. im just saying that ****ty towns actually have the same opportunities. i watched a video on youtube of a vlogger who lives in a suburban area who can get a range of the starter pokemons.  

Caught enough of these cuties from a nest an hour away from me.

Btw I been using the website https://fastpokemap.com to find mostly all of them.  

Add more pokestops, dammit!  

caught my first dragonite today, only 1.1k CP hahahah

i have a dragonair cp 700 though. if i evolved that, id get something higher
