@Nostrademous what do u mean wild pokemons no longer exist ?

kevin3747118 commented 8 years ago

@ztukaz I believe the ptc server status is online now but still can't get the information what I want !

@kevin3747118 if you go on your phone/tablet and play Pokemon Go you will notice all the Pokemon you can see (bottom right hand corner) have 3 feet under them. This has been going on for about 1 week now. 3 feet is the "Nearby Pokemon". "WildPokemon" were 1&2 feet. Niantic got rid of them b/c of people cheating/botting. WildPokemon listed their lat/long so people could cheat easy. Nearby Pokemon list only distance from player, not actual lat/long. Makes it harder.

So , we can't get the lat, lon also Pokemon ID via pgoapi right ?

Correct, what you have to do is stick with "MapPokemon" (some call them "CatchablePokemon") - these are the ones that appear on you map visible, or you have to write code to use triangulation to find the Nearby Pokemons
