What direction to walk in to capture a targeted Pokemon?
There is a list of the nearby Pokemon and some approximate idea of the distance. But after I choose one, how do I actually walk towards it? Is there a way to see the Pokemon on the map or some direction indicator to follow?
Best Answer
The game, as of now, does not have a builtin direction indicator.
You can use the footsteps to determine which way is approximately the right way to go (if the count gets larger, you're going in the wrong direction), but the game is intentionally vague on this front.

Tap the bar at the bottom right corner of the Map View to see which Pok\xe9mon are near your current location. Each Pok\xe9mon on the Nearby screen can be found near a Pok\xe9Stop in your vicinity. Pok\xe9mon already in your Pok\xe9dex will appear in color, while those not in your Pok\xe9dex will appear as silhouettes.How do you walk in poke?

Answer 2
Actually, if you want to track a specific Pokemon listed in the bottom right ''Nearby'' area:
- Bring up the list.
- Click which one you want to track/find.
- Whenever you are facing and/or walking TOWARDS the Pokemon, every so often there will be a SMALL green border "pulse" animation from the rounded rectangle that's indicating how far away it is. THIS is how you can know if you are going in the right direction or not. ((I'm 100% certain of this.))
Also, though listed by closest to furthest in the popped up nearby window, when minimized it seems to re-order them based on what direction you are facing and/or which direction you are currently travelling in. ((Not 100% certain, but it seems this way from observations.))
