Pokemon Encounter Rate

To admins:

 

I was just wondering if ya'll could make the pokemon encounter rate better. Been trying to catch a cubone for hours and nothing. really takes away from the whole experience of a pokemon game when you can't even find a pokemon you want.

PRO is meant to be harder than the handheld games. This not only apply to spawns but also to an amount of things that make our MMO more challenging.

Yeah, I do see the difficulty is much steeper, and I appreciate that. but I mean, the game can still be difficult without grinding hours just to find a pokemon. There's other aspects of the game that can challenge the player; ie double match, single pokemon challenge, one type only etc. Simply reducing encounter rate to abysmal seems quite reductionist.

what is the encounter rate of a pokemon holding an item. example: a pikachu with light ball?
