Comment on Pokemon Go at home vs POKÉMON GO

It’s doable. It’s just a different game. You get to know usernames who take or join gyms, you can to recognise people on the rare occasion you party up for a raid.

A friend of mine GPS spoofs the game and it’s a completely different game though. I’m having to use external tools to remote raid for cool mons as an organised party, but they just tip up to any major city centre raid location and do whatever they need to do whenever they want. That said, gyms turn over within minutes, so getting free coins is a pain in the ass whereas a lot of rural folk repsect the 8hr rule to maximise coins.

If I’m honest, I’m just a guy who let his youngster sign up for an account, so that my boy could play the game while I banged in the buddy miles daily when out running, but I’ve quite enjoyed it too being out in the sticks.

That’s so much work for something the developers should just have enabled by default. Has anyone stopped to think about the kid in the wheelchair that wanted to play this game?

  Playing Pokemon Go without data or a vehicle to get around was a waste of time imo.
  
  So you’re right. They should have implemented some kind of GPS spoof in the app by default

…while I banged in the buddy miles daily when out running…

What is this phrase? Fucking your buddy daily when running?

  Them and their buddy must get around...
  
  (The game has a mechanic where you can gain candy needed to power up specific "buddy" pokémon from fitness tracker walking distance)

    Oh God, lol, I thought this person was letting their kid go fight a gym while they got a quicky. That makes so much more sense.

    Yeah, it’s probably more British slang more than anything. To “bang in” or “knock in” or “pan in” or “put in” a quantity of anything is generally used to describe a tedious or repetitive task.
    
    One could “knock in a good few hours of revision” or “bang in half hour on the treadmill” or “put in a shitload of effort” or other such terms.
    
    In this case, my lad plays Pokémon Go, but I’ll cover distance goals to accelerate progress a bit.
