This Week in Pokémon Go News + Free-for-All

News was pretty light this week -- aside from numerous complaints from disgruntled PokeGo players -- so it's another combo post.

In terms of the game itself, here are some newsbits that might be of interest:

• Nests have migrated again.

• Pokémon no longer spawn if you're going over 30mph. While this is meant to deter playing while driving, it also inadvertantly penalizes people who play while riding as passengers or take public transportation. I believe you can still spin pokestops, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Aside from that...



How was your week in PokeGo?!

Yes, you can still spin at speed, which - I've never had much luck seeing pokemon to try and catch from the tube anyway, so no big difference in my book.

This week I managed to catch two Magmars, (in a rare example of the tracker working - see shadow, keep walking, loose shadow, turn around, shadow comes back, take only available side road, Magmar! And another one!) and then promptly hatched one about 15 minutes later! I also hatched an Aerodactyl, and walked my Cubone enough to evolve a Marowak, so that's three new additions to my Pokedex!
