You are competing for valuable pokemon, which IS the point of the game.
- bskap 10y agoWhy do you think there's a competition for valuable pokemon? When a pokemon spawns in an area, it spawns for everyone in that area and everyone who stops by can catch it. You're not competing with everyone else to get there first.
- duaneb 10y ago> When a pokemon spawns in an area, it spawns for everyone in that area and everyone who stops by can catch it. Well, until someone catches it. Then it disappears.
- greedo 10y agoUh no. It doesn't disappear because it was caught.
- cstejerean 10y agoHave you actually played the game? There is no competition for catching Pokemon. They spawn and disappears after a certain amount of time, which mapping apps by the way used to show you. Other people catching Pokemon has zero influence on your ability to catch the same Pokemon.

- khedoros 10y ago> You are competing for valuable pokemon, which IS the point of the game. I'm not. The coworker next to me and I routinely catch the same Pokemon at the same time. Watching it on the map made it clear: if someone catches it, it doesn't just disappear. It's there for a set amount of time. When the time is up, that's when it can't be caught by someone else.
- duaneb 10y agoToo bad I can't coordinate with every single person in my city to catch the pokemon I want in the same 30 second timeframe. I've been so silly trying to spend my time hunting down the pokemon I want just to see it vanish!
- khedoros 10y agoIf you've had fun, it's not silly. If you've just been aggravated by it, that would be silly. Personally, I'd just be aggravated...so I avoid trying to hunt down specific Pokemon, now.
