With the app losing regular users due to the fad ending and the weather getting worse, Niantic continues to tweak the way the certain things on Pokémon GO, this time an update to the Pokedex. A post on Reddit over the weekend noticed that the “seen” marker in the Pokédex now appears to count any Pokemon that you’ve encountered in gyms as “seen,” adding them to the seen count at the top of the page and putting the creature’s silhouette in its proper Poképlace. This means that you’ll be able to remove some of those unsightly blocks in the Pokédex without actually catching all the Pokémon, but also that it will disrupt your seen/caught ratio.
We expect larger changes coming our way soon, particularly with the new medal system that will allow you to hunt for specific Pokémon.
