The way they have implemented it Shadowbanning is basically sending the bots to the cornfield.

I still think the game is ridiculous in how much it punishes people for simply not living in the city. Even if you had a low density of stops out in the country they could at least have decent numbers of random spawns. This is one reason I stopped playing, seeing only Pidgies and Ratatas gets old. Also, having the game get angry at you for riding a bike is dumb, bike riding is a huge part of the lore of the game!

Yeah, it's even weirder when you realise that better Pokemon appear in the countryside in the rest of the series. That's what the whole long grass thing is all about.

So the people who live in places most like actual Pokemon regions and who travel around like trainers get worse Pokemon than those who stick to the same large city and never go anywhere interesting.

Seems kind of backwards if you ask me.
