It ' s become a resource hog , I ' ve noticed that much not a huge deal , though . I find that if I swap between apps e . g . gmail , spotify , chrome , et al . for a while and return back to Pokemon Go , the phone automatically shut down the app . That might be Android ' s way of managing background apps . Anyway , yeah , that tip for lucky eggs and phone restarting may now be obsolete for other players like us . I don ' t mind the animation so much . I always enjoyed seeing the Pokes levitating and evolving . It was sort of like , Yay ! Look at you ! You finally made it ! I just miss that they modified the animation and took away the rotation of the Pokes when they were levitating . It was a good chuckle seeing Rattata ' s butt during his evolution .
