Wouldn't Electabuzz be more likely in a thunderstorm? At the very least, Elekid is known for playing in them.

When several of these Pokémon gather, their electricity could build and cause lightning storms.

I kinda misremembered that as "Thunderstorms are due to groups of pikachu" lol

There's a new Pokemon Go tracker

[DeKaFu]

Perhaps more notably, there's been an update and Niantic seems to be experimenting with a new form of tracking.

Only some people are getting the new "nearby" section... I've updated and only have the "sightings" section which works like the old "nearby" one but with the major improvement that Pokémon actually disappear from the list as soon as they're out of range, theoretically making it possible to methodically pinpoint them once more. Should make it a lot easier to actually find things now, even without the fancy new Pokéstop tracking.

So if I'm thinking of this right it's taking pictures from other people's pokemon go games for when they capture (or maybe just when they first see) pokemon?

That's cool but if that's the way it works I am very worried about that getting abused in horrible brainbleach-y ways.

"Hey Beth, take off yer pants my pokemon go just picked up a clampearl cloyster in this room and I wanna scar some childhoods."

New Pokemon and new forms from Alola courtesy of our usual Corocoro leak.  I imagine Serebii will fix the main page soon enough, but for simplicity...big images linked to spare folks' bandwidth:

Image 1: Our form-changing(?) local fish
Image 2: Our Ghost/Ground haunted sand-castle; our huggy-bear pre-evo
Image 3: Our new Alolan forms for Meowth (Dark) and Marowak (Fire/Ghost)
Image 4: Our new Antagonists, a brief sneak-peek in the lower-right

I think this is the most generic the Pokémon villains have ever been.

Yattaman villains (or is it Yatterman?)

[Furtuka]

Gonna nitpick that I don't think that comparison says much considering the original Team Rocket anime trio was based directly off the villains of Yatterman in the first place

But I get what you mean. Sortof. I don't mind though so.

And their costumes were similar

But now it is getting extra similar with the skull motif.

I JUST REALIZED THAT THAT IS A FISH MADE OUT OF FISH. I LOVE IT

I find it hilarious that people still complain about pokemon that are clusters of pokemon

When frankly I still love it.

I'm thinking those are probably pokestop images, which seems neat.  (I don't know about you guys, but around here most people turn off AR mode   So it'd be hard for Niantic to collect images like that)

No they must all be eggsecuted

[DeKaFu]

Yeah, it seems that it's Pokémon tied to Pokéstops. If they spawn within the Pokéstop radius they show up on the nearby list, and you can select them to have it put a marker on the relevant stop so you can find it.

Basically useless outside of urban areas, as far as I can tell. Plenty of towns around here are lucky to have a single Pokéstop in them, and even the nearest city has them spaced so far apart you'll never have more than one on the visible map at a time. Hopefully they have something else in mind for rural players, or at least plan to open up Pokéstop submissions again.

I love the ghost-types of the Alola region so far. I'm calling it right now that Haunted Sand Castle is going to dominate the metagame in some way.

Also, next to that sneak peek of the villains... is that an exclamation mark used to indicate the start of a battle? In other words, an exclamation mark to show that somebody's spotted you?

A ghost/ground type? I dunno... It looks like it even uses Sand Trap (or whatever the ability that prevents pokemon from retreating).
