If you think of the demand on the servers to have every single person who's playing sending a gps signal to the server. It has to ping the nearby pokemon, calculate the relative distance to you, then adjust the footprints to show how far away you are. You walk a bit and it has to do that all over again, for millions of players at a time. I can see how it would be a huge drain on the system.

Berz out.
