Our long Pokemon nightmare is over! The much talked around in-game tracker is now live in all of the continental United States and spreading to the UK, just in time for the eighth migration.
Is there an easy way to transfer your account between two Google accounts? I signed up using a secondary gmail, but have switched to a Pixel that's locked in under my main. Swapping profiles just to play the game (and not being able to listen to podcasts/Spotify/etc) is a huge drag.

Hmm. Less than a week after I deleted the app because I finally accepted that I was done with it. Maybe this will finally get me back into it? Is this too little, too late?

Pokemon Go taps in to the "gotta catch them all" subconcious collector instinct, ruthlessly exploits the sunk cost fallacy and also happens to be a heap of fun when everything aligns just right. So... we keep playing. But that doesn't mean we aren't going to complain while we do it. Complain and grumble and moan while we keep giving them out time and money.
So, here I go. The new "tracker" is not a tracker. It is an alerting system to tell you what mons are near to your local Pokestops. If you are playing somewhere with a high density of Pokestops this sort of makes sense, although it removes a lot of gameplay potential in its implementation. If you live somewhere with a low density of Pokestops then it's a total pain.
It seems likely they have done this in response to complaints about players going into prohibited / dangerous places when trying to trace a straight line to a mon using the distance tools of the old tracker(s). Because all Pokestops are user sourced (from Ingress) and known to be publicly accessible they can remove a potential liability by only sending players to those places and then showing the mon on a map. The user then has to find safe/legal route between the pokestop and mon, which they can do using the in-game map. I'm not convinced by this as a legal argument but in the absence of any communication from niantic (and there is rarely any) it's the best story I've heard.
So I doubt this "tracker" is here to make the game more fun to play. It might for people in a subset of cities, but it is worse for everyone else. At the very least is should have been in parallel with a "local" tracker. It seems like a design driven by fear rather than a design goal.
Example - I live about 500m from a Pokestop. There are no others for approx 5km. My house is on a circular road and I can walk around it in about 15 minutes, there are usually spawns. The circle means a lot of road is covered by the "nearby" radius from my house. Because of the road layout it is about 35 minutes to walk to the Pokestop. The most fun I've had with the game recently was about 2 weeks ago when a Lickitung (which I had never caught) showed on my local sightings. I went out and walked around, it disappeared, I walked back, it reappeared. Etc Etc. Eventually I found it. It felt rewarding. At least once a day some worthwhile catch will appear on the list (I leave it open on my desk while working) and thats my cue to take a break and get some fresh air. All very good and healthy.
Now the ONLY mons on my sightings are the ones a 35 minute walk away (ie not happening). There could be a Dragonite outside my front door and I wouldn't know. The only way I can complete my dex is by driving to somewhere with lots of Pokestops (an hour or more), wandering around aimlessly for hours per day (not happening) or by using a 3rd party tracker (anecdotally this is what ALL local players I've met do) which is a ban-able cheat.
So yeah, not happy. I've spent a lot of money on the game buying balls to make up for the lack of stops locally. It has really been good for my mind while working because it gets me to take breaks in the fresh air at least daily. Seemed like a win-win for me and the developer. But now the carrot that got me to walk out the door has been removed.
It's something of a trope for players of this game to bitterly complain about changes while still playing. If you dare to venture onto boards like reddit's /r/pokemongo you'll see this in full bloom today as all us suburban players sound off into the dark.

Eh, I'm still getting random pokemon out on a walk this morning (7 day streak!), I suspect the tracker is just directing me towards one stop or another in a "this Eevee is towards the Ronald McDonald statue, the Ratatta is towards the Center Park sign" so you're not _completely_ blind. I don't think it's "you only get pokemon at the pokestops", anyway.

I live in a beta test place and have had the new tracker for awhile. It is a little helpful in terms of saving time.
I assume at this point in the game, many people are only willing to stray off their normal path for a pokemon they need.
So Niantic introduced ditto to get people to go for pidgeys and other likely ignored pokemon.
They've also introduced much higher CPs on cool but boring pokemon like jinx and tauros.
In the Facebook pokemon groups I'm in it seems that rural players are pissed regardless.

I have the same problem as samworm. There are no pokestops on my street, so all the pokemon that show up in the new 'tracker' are a good bit away. Meanwhile, a dragonite could be sitting on my doorstep and I wouldn't know.

Ingress players have been begging for a way to transfer/change the email associated with an account for years. The fact that Niantic hasn't implemented this in either game has lead many to believe that it's a deliberate omission on their part to try to combat third-party account selling.

I've had the new system for a few weeks and it's a significant downgrade for me. Like tofu_crouton and samworm, my nearby pokestops are not easily walkable.
I used to have fun spotting things nearby throughout the day, and popping outside for a bit of a walk to find them. Now I just open the app maybe once or twice a day (or not at all) to see if something has spawned right on top of me, then close it again.

IMHO PokemonGo is peak cluelessness caused by having so much application development concentrated in a tiny geographic area (Bay Area). I heard the tracker is perfect there. It's not bad in other cities like Chicago where I like, but anywhere outside of this it's not a good solution.

Been using the new tracker in Seattle. It's a mixed bag. It's great if something rare pops up and you know exactly where the Pokestop is that is being referenced. It's lacking for just general "in the vicinity' Pokemon not related to a stop. Where I live it is a 15 minute pokewalk to a Pokestop, another five minutes to the next one. So on my tracker at night at home I see generally two circles (we'll call them PokePortals) showing me who is hanging out at those two stops. If I walk up my street or over a block however, I am guaranteed to run into 2 -3 mon not on any tracker.
I work near lots of stops and commute through dense urban areas with lots of stops. In those cases my tracker is full of nine nearby PokePortal views at all times. But again, you are only seeing things that are close to Pokestops, which is only a small view of what might be out there.
For a few days during the beta there was kind of a mixed-view tracker that showed some of the PokePortals and some in the traditional "nearby" view. This seemed the best to me, but apparently that isn't what shipped.

You can also participate in at BugGuide (my contributions). For me my childhood interest in bug collecting is why I was so excited to get the original Pokemon games when I was 10. Bug collecting is even more of a childhood pastime is Japan and was the inspiration for the games. Sadly it's not really a hobby you can do in the winter, Pokemon fills that niche for me then. If anything maybe Pokemon Go will get people to pick up the current 3DS games, which I think are really quite fun.

The new tracker makes you aware of Pokemon you can't walk quickly to, so it unexpectedly makes the argument for driving around to stops.

I'm enjoying it where I work, since the latest migration brought Kabutos to my area, and now I have more candies to power up my Kabutop. I can see where they all pop up! Where I live though it's the same story as the complaints above, but I don't really play at home much anymore since the diversity there is super low.

The new tracker is also incomplete. I'm pretty familiar with the spawn spots around here since I played around with the unofficial mapping apps back at release, and I can guarantee there are more than 2 Pokemon within ~1km of me (1km is the approx distance to the farthest away Pokestop shown on the Nearby screen)

Does the Pixel not allow you to sign into multiple accounts under the same profile? I'm logged in to three google accounts on my phone (under settings/accounts), and when I launched the app the first time, it brought up the standard Google account selector, and I can pick my secondary account from the list.

Yeah, it's not a tracker so much as a "What pokemon is near each of your nearest pokestops."
I liked the original tracker (before they crippled it to the point of uselessness to compensate for the server load) better.
I occasionally drive to one of the stops based on the new tracker, but as yet another rural / suburban user there's no way I'm walking to them.

Somehow the latest migration brought me Magikarps in addition to Kabutos. I should be happy that I'm getting closer to my Gyarados, but all of these are going to be crap quality.

Though it never made much sense with Garados needed 400, as it's not Snorlax/Dragonite level of power.

I almost never get any that are the best or second best quality (from the Appraisals) in these migrations. If I do they're also usually pretty low in CP so you have to spend the candies and stardust to get them up to snuff if you want to battle at all. Since they've fixed up the gyms I've been getting into them more now, just so I can get the coins for my precious incubators.

Rural update: It's not that it's broken. It's just that, because it's based on Pokestops, the distances are too great for walking.
I spent a couple of hours at a park with 6 Pokestops in it today and it worked great there. It says there's a Squirtle, I walk to the Pokestop in the picture, I catch a Squirtle.
At home, though, of the 9 things on the radar, 8 of them are over a mile to walk. There are a few spots within 2-3 blocks of here where I always catch something, but the radar doesn't ever show what's there because they aren't Pokestops.

Here in the suburbs, the new tracker is handy for me because it tells me how promising the one park within walking distance is at any given moment. Nothing is guaranteed within the amount of time I can get there, but it makes it a little more likely I'll drop by.
I've just discovered that my mother's memorial bench in a neighboring suburb is a pokestop, designated by her name like many similar pokestops. I'd been wondering, every time I passed one, how it would feel to be memorialized that way.

so the starbucks next to my job is now a pokestop, per that announcement. The stop itself is a promotion for a "Pokemon GO Frappuccino", which tastes suspiciously like raspberry and vanilla, but it's quite tasty. That starbucks was already next to another pokestop which is the historical restaurant two doors down from it, so if I wanted to take a long break from work I could sit in there and get two stops every 5 min!

So new issue: my phone has been randomly vibrating while the game is out, but nothing is happening on screen. Did they add a new notification feature? I thought it might be when your buddy has walked a Km, but I've been checking and it doesn't seem to be the case. I rely on these vibrations for when a Pokemon pops up in the wild so these random ones are bugging the hell out of me when there's nothing on screen.
Also, ran into a Aerodactyl in the wild today, 1700+. It has the same annoying flying animation as Zubats so I missed with like 5 Ultra balls before landing one, then it popped out and fled. Gah.

I've seen lots of reports of random vibrations, so probably a bug.
I bet if you hadn't teased me the other day about having two Aero's when you thought I had none, it probably would have stayed. Probably.

What's with the Dragonite worship?! Some people around here have like six or seven, all high IVs that they actively "raised" to get said IVs. I'm like "Yeah, but Lapras!"
Which until Joelton got buffed were damn hard to kill. But Dragonite has a double weakness to ice and there's 13 Pokemon able to use ice moves, you're just asking for trouble to be relying on Dragonites to hold a gym.

I actually regularly take down Lapras with my Vaporeons. Their ice damage doesn't hurt, and because they're half ice half water, they only get half the protection from Vaporeon's water guns. I spam that like crazy while just needing to avoid their charge attack.

Are you throwing curve balls? That definitely helps. But sometimes repeatedly using an Ultraball, with a razzberry and curveball still won't do the trick and things will still run away. There's a bit of a chance element with all of this.

Yeah, in my neck of the woods, Valor rules and the level 10 gyms everywhere have returned. This morning was strange for me 'cause I literally had to get out of bed of go place myself in a single gym in order to collect the 10 gym bonus. Most mornings I just hit the button while in bed, then roll around town to build in a buffer for me sacred 10.
I preferred the previous, where it was easy to tear down a gym, that way there was a lot more gym turnover and even Valor had to fight to make things happen. Hopefully they'll tweak things a bit more.

Here's the event:
posted by Brandon Blatcher at 10:51 AM on December 23, 2016
Trainers,Meh.
As the year draws to a close, we want to give you a great way to celebrate the end of the year with Pokémon GO. For the next couple of weeks, you’ll have even more reason to explore the world with your friends and family while you enjoy our year-end event.
Don’t miss out on an increased chance to hatch a Togepi (and other Pokémon)! Starting the morning of December 25, 2016, and through the afternoon of January 3, 2017 (PST), PokéStops will award one single-use Incubator each day after your first Photo Disc spin. As you visit PokéStops during this time period, there will be a greater chance of finding Eggs that hatch Togepi, Pichu, and several other recently found Pokémon, originally discovered in the Johto region. Special Pikachu wearing festive hats will also be staying around a bit longer! You are more likely to find these limited-edition Pikachu during the time period of this celebration.
In addition, from the afternoon of December 30, 2016, through the afternoon of January 8, 2017 (PST), the first partner Pokémon and their Evolutions, originally discovered in the Kanto region, are more likely to be encountered. This means a greater chance to catch Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur, as well as Charmander, Charmeleon, and Charizard, plus Squirtle, Wartortle, and Blastoise! As a way to increase your chance to encounter one of these Pokémon, Lure Modules will also last for 60 minutes instead of 30 minutes.
Get up and go!
—The Pokémon GO team
