Pokémon Go!

Few egg hatches and a few new catches whilst walking the dog last night.

Finally evolved my Eevee into a Jolteon, CP 837

Hatched a Tentacool. CP 225

Hatched a Sandshrew. CP 203

Caught a Poliwag. (didn't have one before) CP 205

Caught a Voltorb. (didn't have one before) CP 150

Evolved my Krabby into a Kingler. CP 543

Not the most impressive but not bad for an hours walk with the pup. Also stopped off in the local on the way home for a cold on, so the night just got better and better.

What level are you on?

How are they cheating?

Couple of ways. There are bots which play the game for you using scripts on a PC, which means they can move around 24/7 using faked GPS coordinates, always throwing perfect throws, etc... a bot playing for about 24 hours will get you up to about level 20 i think, with tonnes of high level stuff.

Then there are just gps spoofers, who play the game but fake where they are, so they can catch things from other locations, like other countries or common spawns of rare pokemon. 

Minutes after it was released in Brazil for example, loads of gyms were taken over by level 2000+ pokemon.

Does your local allow you to bring the dog in? If so that's amazing, i'd love that, we have one bar here in Dublin where people bring their dogs in, it's wonderful. 

I'm constantly surrounded by Drowzees, Staryus and Rattatas, can't seem to find any decent pokemon around, although in fairness i walk the same route to and from work every day

If the bot playing for you is real, then surely there would be people on level 40 by now?  If it only takes 24 hours to get to level 20?  The majority of gyms around me have some big levels and big numbered pokemon (2500+) but I don't really think they have cheated.  I think they've just played the game a LOT.  Not saying it's not possible to cheat, i just dont think there is that many out there doing it.  

Also the Brazil thing could have been from people who had an i tunes account from another country, which would enable them to play the game in Brazil before anyone else.  I was playing in the UK before it had actually been released here.

14.. got a couple of lucky eggs which I'm very shortly about to activate and go on an evolving spree though.  I keep seeing very similar pokemon though, haven't had a new one in 2 or 3 levels.

I don't know the specifics on how long it takes the bot to level up, it might not be that quick, but I can assure you it is a well known and widespread problem in some places. e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4w4v7g/botting_has_absolutely_broken_this_game/

 
I just found a 800+ Ponyta (never seen one before). It escaped three ultra-balls and then ran away, the bar steward.

 
It's finally out here!

And there is a Pokestop in my kitchen lol

 
I'm out in Greece, out of balls with no Pokestop nearby and new ones keep appearing!

 
I got an Onix from my 10km egg which apparently is decent. The trouble is, because I'm a low level its CP is rubbish... Surely it's pretty pointless catching decent ones while still a low level?

Yes my local allows dogs in! Its a very traditional old pub, not one of these new wetherspoons or anything like that. Around Christmas time there is a man that always comes in with a small Shetland pony, not something you see everyday in a pub that's for sure!

Although Onyx is a nice pokemon they never really get high CP and they are one of the worst to try and attack or defend gyms with so it's not a major loss it being a low CP. Nice to add to the Pokedex though!

Amazing. That's the type of pub i would go to regularly, in my old local before i moved to the city the owner had two labradors that used to chill in the pub, gave the place a nice atmosphere when you walked in the door and had two happy dogs wagging their tails to greet you.

Its also only a 30 second walk from my house so its perfect. Free wifi and a pokestop too, could it get much better?

Yes, they could put the tracking back. I've lost interest of late. When they put that back, I'll be playing it again

 
Got a rare Lapras sighting but I couldn't stop as I was driving. Fuming. 

 
I have half a kilometre left on my 10k egg, gonna go out at lunchtime and hatch this baby, hope it's a Jolteon (my favourite pokemon back in the day) or a snorlax or something.
