Pokémon GO has allegedly doubled the spawn points. This is according to a report from Niantic that was released last night. However, it seems that something is not right about this.
What did Niantic announce? In a blog post from Niantic, it is described in detail that Niantic has doubled the spawn points worldwide.
Rural areas and remote locations have apparently benefited from this and now supposedly have significantly more spawns.
The announcement is just a late justification
How much have the spawns changed? Players were initially amazed and the doubling of the spawn points is fundamentally good. However, the reality is quite different.
So far, there have been no reports of new spawns worldwide. It seems that this text simply describes the spawn change from a few weeks ago.
What happened a few weeks ago? It was one of the biggest points of contention in Pokémon GO in recent months. Overnight, Niantic changed all spawn points.
Many cluster spawns disappeared and the locations where Pokémon could be found were simply broadened. Many trainers were unhappy with this, while others liked it. In our survey on this, the players were also very divided.
What does Niantic describe now? The text from Niantic sounds quite similar. It states that they have spread out large groups of Pokémon and that Pokémon are now appearing in more locations around the world.
But contrary to the suspicion of some players that the spawns have overall decreased, Niantic now claims that the spawns have doubled.
What does the text mean now for the trainers? The fact is that nothing has changed regarding the spawns last night. Presumably, Niantic is simply describing the change from a few weeks ago.
Of course, it could also be that they are referring to a future change, but they are saying that it has already happened. So this seems very unlikely.
Lastly, there was a major attack change. We show you the winners of it:
