"[Question/Discussion] What Don't We Know?"


#PokemonGO: In terms of Silph research, we know quite a bit, thanks to the really awesome and dedicated researchers on this subreddit and in the Silph Road. :DBut what research would be helpful going forward? What are the boundaries to our knowledge as a player base?I have a few things that I can think of, and please correct me if I've missed an answer to them, and please comment with any other gaps in our knowledge:1) Definitive vindication/refutation of biome-based eggs. Increasingly I'm coming around that it's totally RNG, but I haven't seen hard numbers.2) Most efficient "Experience per Time" for each activity. I tried my hand at a theoretical calculation of this, but it's hard to quantify things like mass evolutions under a lucky egg, where the time spent collecting dozens of garbage 'mons is difficult to comprehend.3) Patterns to Unown Spawns. I've seen a few threads about this, but it seems like we just don't have access to enough spawns to see massive patterns, and the samples available seem to spark controversy due to limited size.4) [Take this with a grain of salt, because I can already feel internet tension] Evolution item dependence on stops. I have seen enough data to be convinced that it's entirely RNG for Evolution items, but I would be open to changing my stance if a big data dump suggested stop-dependence, and I know of many others who would as well. via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2s3kaiF
