Pokemon Go Vibration Bug Theory

Have you ever opened the game, let it load, and feel vibrations, but no Pokemon show up? Thinking the game just wasn't rendering the Pokemon models, forcing you to restart the app in a huff. How about a rare Pokemon shows up on the near by. Each vibration leads to a common Rattata, or Pidgey, then it the game vibrates one last time. Spinning the screen left right and every which way, hoping it was that Chansey you saw on the near by. More than likely, this was the result of a bug everyone has experienced at least once.



















Ironically, did you think about when the bug first started? Lets go back to when a famous rumor stated. Generation 2 Pokemon were suppose to be released on the 8th as part of the Starbucks sponsorship. Why weren't they added? Some say it's because the surprise was leaked, others say it was only speculation. Well, Sprint also wanted to sponsor Pokemon Go. What does that have anything to do with the bug though?

Well, we have seen before with the McDonald's sponsorship, Niantic also likes to hold an event. Since sprint came along, the pushed generation 2s release date back, or maybe the baby Pokemon were all the originally planned on releasing? Niantic could have combine the two events, making Starbucks wait a few days for there event.

Hold on just a moment though, why are players still getting random vibrations and why hasn't it been fixed yet? In programming, there is a proporty that allows for the programmer to hide and show controls. What if, when the update hit, Niantic forgot to take coding out? This could be the bug we are experiencing very well could be generation 2 Pokemon! If Johto was due the 8th and part of the update, Niantic probably set the vision to false, and forgetting other parts of the code. Kind of like the vibrations.

To back this theory up even more, did you know that if there is more than just a single trainer playing withing the same vicinity. All trainers will get the vibration bug at the same time, or experience the slight delay of spawning Pokemon?...
