12 Things Pokemon Go Doesn’t Bother To Tell Its Players

TRACKING POKEMON

When you’re playing Pokemon GO, you will notice a little pop up window in the bottom right of the screen- if you tap on it, it shows you some icons and silhouettes of Pokemon nearby that you can catch. These icons and silhouettes are accompanied by ‘footprints-‘ the greater the number of footprints, the farther you are from that Pokemon. You can tap on the silhouette or icon of the Pokemon you are interested in catching, so that that is the only one your radar tracks, and start walking around, trying to find it. If the number of footprints increases as you are walking around, you are getting farther away from it. If the number decreases, you are walking towards it.
