"Defining "Nest Location" versus "Frequent Spawn Location" - let's get on the same page"


#PokemonGO: I've been seeing a lot more mis-use of the term "Pokemon Nest" lately. Someone will see a Dratini spawn in the same area two times in an hour and say, "Hey guys, I found a Dratini nest!"There's no exact definition of a Nest, however it's obvious if you've found one. Your nearby radar will be spammed with that type of Pokemon. They'll seem to spawn faster than you can catch them! (Not really, but a good nest may seem that way.)Now, here's where the break-down occurs. Person A tells Person B, "Hey there's a Dratini nest downtown on the river!" so Person B gets excited and goes there, and there's not a Dratini to be found. He thinks Person A tricked him. However, perhaps Person A drove by the river and saw 2 Dratini on the radar and assumed it was a nest.Nest Location:"Bring your Pokeballs, you're going to catch a lot of [pokemon_name] in a short amount of time!"Frequent Spawn Location:"Looking for [pokemon_name]? Come to this location, but plan on sticking around awhile before you're able to stock up. They might not be here when you arrive, but they definitely spawn here. Try walking around or patiently waiting."Real Life Example:Before the nest changes, a neighborhood 30 minutes away had a Dratini Nest. I thought people were exaggerating, but sure enough when I went there, I was hammered by Dratini. Pokevision showed 20+ in the neighborhood at any given time. I caught 24 in 1 hour! That's a Nest.After the nest change, Dratini still spawns at Pier 39 in San Francisco. There may be 1 or 2 at any given time, but they're not spamming the radar. That's a Frequent Spawn Location - somewhere to hang out if you're looking for that particular Pokemon.Further reading about my nest predictions:If you've endured my rambling until now, I'd like to point you to http://ift.tt/2aMAqeQ . It has additional observations on nest spawns and what we could expect in the weeks/months to come. I'm happy to wave my white flag if I'm wrong in those predictions ;-)Thanks for reading! I hope this spawns some enlightening discussion! via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2aAoeKZ
