I visited San Francisco last weekend and was able to try out the new tracking feature. It was fun at first because it was new, but at the Fisherman's Wharf all i saw was multiple tentacools and multiple psyducks. It's not like sightings where it limits a sighting to one pidgey even if there are multiple. It'll show multiple of one Pokémon and push out the rest. I would suggest allowing the option of hiding duplicates and also the option to filter out Pokémon. The filter could be a list of Pokémon or by rarity. I would also suggest two different tabs: one for sightings and one for nearby. Since one shows Pokémon at pokestops and the other shows Pokémon in the wild, I'd like the ability to see both. And don't make them all on one screen as it is now. Showing 6 at pokestops and 3 in the wild doesn't allow me to see if a Dragonite is nearby in the wild if there are more than 3 types other than Dragonite nearby.
