We’ve been playing as a family since it first came out, but they’ve definitely slowed… I still haven’t gotten all my 100iv shinys so I’m still collecting.

    i agree with you and stopped a few years ago for similar wariness

    i also had a half-baked thought: there have been videos showing players using spoofed gps to play for years. how difficult would it be to spoof camera and gyros (earns you bonuses in-game to scan points of interest) in addition to gps, as a “catch your mons, give the ai bogus intel” sort of affair?

      eh, android and ios are closed down surveilled platforms by default.

          it’s also probably very easy for them to know you are spoofing location.

          heard of a lot of banwaves from people doing that on pokemon go.
