Kanto Spawn Testing
A complete re-assessment of the spawns in all maps of the game has been taking place since the beginning of 2014 and completed mid 2015. Stages of the testing included:
- Research of existing and appropriate spawns and levels for each map.
- Staff pretesting of new spawns chosen.
- Public release and player testing before finalizing the spawns. * To actively participate in this stage of the testing, visit this forum post: http://forum.pokemon-world-online.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=33406
On this page will be highlighted not only the spawns for the finalized blocks of maps that have been released, but also other notable changes that have occurred alongside these releases.
