"Spawn tables ordered by National Dex number? A hypothesis based on nests masking spawns in the current Go-Fest event"

#PokemonGO: Apologies if this has been pointed out before, searching things on Reddit is hard sometimes.So recently I went back to this thread to figure out what spawns I was missing out on by only playing at my local park, and I noticed something odd that I didn't see anyone else point out - all the species missing from nests are Kanto Pokemon. In fact, the only Kanto Pokemon spawning in nests are Horsea and Kabuto, both of which have higher Pokedex numbers than the blocked species (Pidgey, Spearow, Pikachu, Psyduck, Poliwag, and Shellder).Given that we've already reached the conclusion that the 25% nest spawns are blocking out these Pokemon, the conclusion isn't much of a leap. The obvious explanation would be that the spawn table is ordered by National Pokedex number, and nesting species simply block out the first 25% worth of the table.This isn't the most interesting information, but it does have some consequences - it explains why event Pikachu has consistently been locked out of nest spawns, it lets us predict what Pokemon are likely to be blocked out of nests in future events (RIP Kanto Pokemon in events), and it explains why I keep finding all the starters EXCEPT Kanto starters in my local nest as non-nesting spawns.edit: people have pointed out some interesting things in the comments! just updating the post to link a visual to more clearly explain how this idea works: https://ift.tt/2Z2dPo0 via /r/TheSilphRoad https://ift.tt/31zpisO
