Due to the mechanics of the wonderful world of Pokémon Go, being somewhere
important or notable is very helpful in terms of population of Pokémon and
various other item acquires and all that kind of stuff. So, being somewhere like
London or Central Park in New York or something like that would be awesome.
What if you could be there but be playing
from your couch? So, this is especially helpful if you have some form of
physical disability or if you live somewhere rural where there just aren't
Pokémon stops anywhere near you and maybe only a couple spawns for Pokémon
at all. That can be frustrating, but there's downsides to this as well,
fairly obviously. We'll talk about that later.
Intel's Skull Canyon Knuck features the sixth generation Core i7 processor and
Thunderbolt 3. Learn more in the link in the video description down below. How
one would accomplish this is through something called GPS spoofing.
Essentially tricking your phone and the apps on your phone into thinking that
you are somewhere that you are not. This enables you to do the affforementioned
sitting on a couch while your phone thinks that you're in Central Park
general idea. You do this by simply just downloading an app that does it all for
you, telling the app where you want your phone to think you are, and then you're
done. If you're doing that for things that aren't just Pokémon Go, when you
try to do it for Pokémon Go, things get a little bit more tricky. This isn't
this company's first attempt at something like this. They made a game previously called Ingress, and they're
used to people trying to screw around in these ways. That being said, there are
workarounds. First off, you're going to need a rooted Android device or a rooted
emulator. If you want to use an emulator on your computer, I would recommend
using Blue Stacks, the application to emulate Android. Then, you're going to
need a few different APK files. You'll need Lucky Patcher, Fake GPS, and
Pokémon Go. First, you would install Lucky Patcher through your previously
rooted device. Then you would use Lucky Patcher to install Fake GPS as a system
application. Tell Fake GPS where you want it to say you are and other various
details like how fast you want it to update and other things that you can
program yourself very easily through the settings option. Then go into your
location settings in Android and turn off Google location history and change
your GPS accuracy to low. Although this may take some fiddling later on and you
may need to make it to high or even medium if you must because the game
refuses to update its location. If you're in Windows 10, you need to make
sure all of your location services are off. Just type location in the start
menu and then make sure both of the location options are individually turned
to off. If that feels too difficult, that would be fair. It's more of an
advanced user thing. If you want something more simple, you could go with
Pokemon Go anywhere, which enables you to click on the screen for movement
instead of actually just walking around, enabling you to leave your house and
walk to the park by clicking on the screen instead of getting up from your
couch. Now, there are problems with this. Most importantly, in my opinion,
is that it completely breaks the gamified features of the game. The whole
idea of the game is that you're supposed to walk around and try to find all these
Pokemon and there's like location meters with the little feet and you're trying to track things down and it's fun to
search and locate on your feet. It brings you outdoors. That's the purpose
of the game. But even beyond that, if you're like, I don't care, Luke, I don't
care about the gameplay. I just want to win. It might not matter because you
might get banned. Right now, they only seem to be temporary banning people from
about 45 minutes to six hours depending on what happens. You can teleport to
Central Park, be banned for 45 minutes, but then be in Central Park and just
play the game anyways. But they're currently very focused on making sure
that their servers don't just evaporate from the obscene amount of usage that's
going on. Once that calms down a little bit, once they're managing the load,
then they're going to hammer down on people. in the beta and in their
previous game, Ingress, they were banning the crap out of people for this
stuff. Now, the bans aren't going to stop people because the game is
ludicrously huge. Nintendo's stock price has gone up 30% since its launch days
ago. APK Mirror, an unofficial place to
download the application for countries that don't officially support it yet in
the Play Store and App Store, went from about 600,000 hits a day to over 4
freaking million. There's even a rumor going around saying that Nintendo is
making $1.6 million a day just on iOS
just in the States off of Pokémon Go.
Holy crap. Now, for me, this completely
breaks the game. So, I'll never do it. If I wanted to just sit on my couch and
play Pokémon, I would load up some version of Pokémon on Game Boy and just
play that. It would be a better overall experience. But knowledge is power, so
I'm still down with making this video. I don't think anyone should use it if they
can avoid it. If you're physically disabled and you just want to play the game that your friends are playing, I
think that's super cool. Or if you have some other very good reason. If you just
live in a rural area, man up and go for a long walk. And you can also use this
information to call out your friends who you know are working like overtime every
day but just got the game 2 days ago and
are level like 20s something with huge crazy strong Pokémon. I don't know, man.
Or you can use it as that fantastic scapegoat. Anytime there's someone
stronger than you, they probably just cheated. Jerks.
All right, guys. Thanks for watching. I'm probably going to have to get back to work as I don't think Lionus is going
to want to pay me for playing Pokémon Go all the time. Like the video if you
liked it. I know it's not normally what we do. Dislike the video if you're like,
I'm tired of everybody talking about Pokémon Go, cuz that's valid. Um, check
out the link in the video description to buy some stuff from Amazon.
cuz I don't know because it's Amazon. I guess there's Prime Day going on and
stuff so you can get deals that exists.
Uh, check out the link in the video description for our shirts, which isn't this one. This is for Transistor, a
video game that I like. Check out the forum if you want to like yell at me for
telling people about how to cheat in Pokémon Go. People are going to talk
about it eventually. Anyways, there's probably other information online about it already. Anyways, it's not a big
deal. Uh, and yeah, I'll see you guys next time. Watch this video on
I don't know. Taran will decide. Probably one of Taran's videos. Put like
one of your mobility videos in here, Taran. Bye.
