I'm really hoping they bring down the ban hammer on these cheaters hard. The good thing is that everything is stored online, so hopefully this includes logs. So they could likely make scripts that detect if you are cheating or not.

Wow, that looks so good. I'd be all over a 2D pixel graphics skin for Go.

bots will be back in 3 .. 2 ..
the pokemon API reverse engineering group got to the heart of the matter with the unknown protocol field, and with the help of some clutch disassembly are probably in a good position to replicate whatever it was the official client was always doing.
So that means all those side loaded android apps, mappers running 1000s of fake accounts, and bots that build an account from level nothing to level 28 in a day will (probably) be back shortly. Moving the meta-game along to the whatever the next thing is. Unless niantic have an ace up their sleeves.

Ban the botters and spoofers
Let us use maps and tracking apps until they fix their shit
Thats all I ask
Also DRM foiled again by those nefarious hackers. They should have used Denuvo

It's a shame that apparently we can't get one without the other. If 3rd party maps and trackers come back so will botters.
I hope eventually Niantic creates a good, practical and functional tracker and kills off every other tracker/botter.

I can't find weedle, caterpie or drowzee. I can give you Voltorb, Magnemite, Mankey.

Yeah... I think it'd probably be rotational at that point. Like, every two weeks they change around the spawns a bit. This would make the game quite fun in the long run and mean I spot finding so many fucking Pidgeys and Rattatas and instead just loads of shite Gen II Pokemon!
I would say why not both, but they're better than me.
Don't worry. In no time we will all be complaining about the Bidoofs everywhere!
It has been calculated on Reddit that you can't reach that lvl within 1 month as normal players because exp required is too high.
https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/4vw9x5/see_you_in_two_years_fellas/
Better report anyone close to lvl 40: https://support.pokemongo.nianticlabs.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=319948
I would've gave benefit of doubt if it was 2-3 months later but not in 1 month.
I'm sure you can appreciate that this is not the experience of the majority of players and that big decisions need to be made with the median and lowest common denominator in mind, rather than outlying highs. Personally I'm at 86 caught and 88 seen and I've been playing a lot (without being "hardcore" about it) and I have encountered plenty of people who aren't even close to me (at level 21) let alone you.
I just crossed the line to evolve my first Magikarp. It's kinda silly to dismiss the entire concept that more total mons will dilute the pool for catching any individual one just because that isn't relevant to your personal experience, you know? They can and hopefully will be smarter about it than just expanding the roster, maintaining current spawn rates with more potential spawn options, and leaving the candy situation exactly as is.
Also I'm pretty curious, do you have no desire to "catch em all" with the Pokedex as it stands? It's basically my current primary drive playing the game. I think for them to add more before it's even theoretically possible to have all 151 or even 150 Pokemon would actually be a little shitty?
More germanely, I think it is definitely worth clarifying that they did not say anything at SDCC equating to "Gen 2 will be released in December".
Neither, save your candy for a higher level.
You could easily hit it if you no life this game and spend a shit ton of money on in game purchases

You're probably looking at about 45k XP depending on how fast you can evolve (getting through all 60 may not be possible within the 30min timeframe, if I remember correctly) plus whatever bonuses you get from the new pokemon you add to the pokedex. At level 16 I think that amounts to two or three levels.
If you do use the lucky egg, maybe prioritize the new pokemon evolutions first, since they'll net you the most XP. It would suck to get to the end of your list only to find your egg expired two minutes ago.
But that level 37, damn.

Someone that my fiancé works with apparently makes his phone go to Japan every day and then comes back to our rural town. He gets banned for one day and then keeps playing. He's level 30. Apparently it's wide spread here. Makes me want to quit because it's taken me like 50 hours of constant playing to reach level 19.
I'd say cheaters. Let's say that there a FEW that actually are that high of a level, I doubt that you would have 7 of them in your area.

Made it lvl 20 yesterday playing semi-casually for the past few weeks and I don't think I've even scratched the surface of things. Only caught 79/seen 81 and I don't have anything super powerful right now. I can only surmise that it was all the Drowzees and Pidgeys that did it.
Anyway, I guess the real game/grind begins now... And special notice to any other Pokemon Go TO-GAFers, better get out to the Ferry terminal while you can, the city's looking to shut shit down.

Ever since PokeGO got released in Latin American yesterday I've caught:
- Squirtle (Starter)
- Pidgey
- Rattata
- Caterpie
- Zubat
- Venomoth
- Magmar
- Weedle
- Raticate
Funny thing, I caught Magmar while on the bus to work. It's a 45 minute ride, and Magmar showed up at a bus stop on a really small town.
I've also learned there are a lot of churches in my town I didn't even know existed.

Got a Poliwraith today! Pokedex now up to 88, at this stage adding any Pokemon feels exciting
I just made it to the ferry terminal for the first time last night. I def want to return another 2-3 times to farm candies before the stops get moved. I'm only level 18 ( most of the way to 19) but my team is coming along nicely and really even playing casually you can have a lot of fun and still be competitive against anything with type advantage on your side.
I feel really bad for the people in Brazil posting on the reddit that all their gyms have been flooded with high cp pokemon since the game went live there. I can't imagine waiting as long as they have only to have one aspect of the game be fucked by cheaters right from the get go.

Just installed this thing. It works slow af on a galaxy core (1gb ram). Besides, I have android 4.1 (I don't know if that affects the performance).
Just made my character and caught a squirtle.
Btw, this game was released like two or three days ago in my country, so everyone is really hyped.

I found a grimer last night... I thought the app was going to crash but thankfully it did not. Caught two of them!
Caught a few Charmander, which is neat, and a crap load of magikarp. Is it because I was by tons of water? Dunno. But am happy because I am 102 candy away from evolving it. i'm pretty close to just driving over there again tonight and just get the rest of the magikarp that I need.
Only found one dratini... I wonder where else the dratini spawns around here (Miami). Pokedex at 75/77 and at level 21.

I saw a dude that was Level 36 with a 3001 Snorlax yesterday. No way that's legit. I just don't understand why people even want to cheat at this game. The whole point of it is to go out, socialize and catch Pokemon. But to have a bot do all that for you so you can sit in a gym and collect 10 coins every day is beyond me. I can't understand it.
For me, Dratini's seem to spawn near water sources. At least for me it does. I work next to a pond (2 nearby actually). So I see water pokemon constantly. But also Dratinis (& 1 Dragonair) occasionally.

Man, I thought this shit was doomed with the harsh winter going on here, but it came out yesterday and the park was full with people even tho it was raining and you could feel the cold in your bones
Just has the 1hp glitch happen during a gym battle, the Slowbro got stuck at 1hp despite being long dead and managed to take down 2 of my pokemon as the game tried to catch up lol. What a joke
Who takes their phone in the shower lol

I am level 23 with plenty of 2k pokemon. It's legit.
pretty bonkers
I'm very proud to finally have a decent squad after hunting on the weekend and cleaning up my inventory/roster last night
Was kinda hoping that he who became Maniac would be a high-level Jolteon but what can you do.
I'm so so happy with my Gyarados with Hydro Pump <3

23 is nowhere near 36.

Hatched my first Lapras from a 10km egg. I was afraid it was gonna be another Eevee. Phew!
Currently at 87 on the pokedex. Once I start evolving I'll probably add another 5 or so.

Should advance you about 3 levels at that point.
27-28 for people that have enough time.
Probably botters if they're 35+. People have posted that they have reached lvl.32 legitimately by sitting on 2-3 lured pokestops for 6+ hours a day since launch and always having a lucky egg active, but I consider anyone lvl. 35 or higher right now to be botting. People are going hard in this game, but I don't think it's physically possible to be lvl. 38 without cheating.
