Pokémon GO
Niantic have confirmed that when using the AR+ features on catching a Pokémon, the Pokémon are now set to never actually flee when you're taking a photograph. Previously, the Pokémon could flee but from recently, the Pokémon will not flee allowing for the Pokémon to be photographed from close up and any capture bonuses be done.
