I clocked 700m on an egg today while riding the tram and another 1000m for riding the bus for around 40 minutes

So I saw the 60-65 range being stated as the max number of pokemon you could evolve under a single egg. I evolved 72 pidgeys and lost a little bit of time fumbling on the menu this morning, so I'm guessing if you can minimize your menu time as much as possible the actual range is like 75-80. Best way to do that is with pure pidgey spam, because if you mix in weedles/caterpies/rattatas, you'll lose time scrolling past the metapods/kakunas/pidgeottos.

Also, I just read that egg hatching speed was lowered even farther, all the way down to 10.5kph. Which is absurdly slow, even my plodding 'im in no hurry and my high gears dont work' bike speed is just shy of 15kph.
You could just prepare by sorting by name and rename them all to "1weedle"

I'm not so in to this game, but I'm playing it with my kids, and we're walking a boatload of miles every day looking for stuff. It's really fun to do this as a group. I'm a n00b, just made level 9, but my kids are having a riot with this.

I've heard if you close your client and re-open it after each evolve click you can get more evolves in, as re-loading is faster than the evolve animation.

Also Pokémon Go Players Are Breaking Gyms With An Egg Glitch can anyone confirm this egg glitch?

LOLOLOL

just read this from people trying to get unbanned:

playing from your computer is very clearly a 'not as bad' form of cheating when compared to outright botting.

Niantic says its just as bad.

At no point did I say anything about Niantic treating one differently from the other.

You said it was a "not as bad" form of cheating when the above Niantic quote sees it as the same as botting.


cheating scum

Not sure which is more embarassing for old Salty, being out-forumed by Gavin, or his hilarious lack of knowledge about the game.

Nah, you just have never been good at reading comprehension.

botting, using nox, changing your gps.

all cheating, all equally as bad as per Niantic.

Nothing I said has anything to do with Niantic's policies. From the perspective of doing long term damage to the game, botting is far worse than manually controlled emulation. Manually controlled emulators do get a significant advantage over regular players, but it's essentially the equivalent of having an unlimited travel budget. If you move locations faster than you could have actually traveled there, you will get banned sooner or later. Any regular non-rural player can assemble a lineup that can defeat all but the most ridiculously fortified gyms with patience and dust conservation, one emulating player isn't going to change that. Botting, on the other hand, will completely fuck things up when they expand battling and add trading. Months of botting a backup account or two at the Ueno park Dratinikarp Nest, Santa Monica Pier, La Brea Tar Pits, or whatever other hotspot nests are discovered/rotate around, will result in a botters main account having a ridiculous lineup of top tier Pokemon, and/or will completely destroy the trading economy.

Also, there is nothing Niantic can do more severe than a permanent account ban, but that doesn't mean that every offense that merits a permanent ban is equally bad. A guy who rape/torture/murders 20 people is demonstrably worse than a hitman who cleanly kills 20 people, but they're both going to get the same death penalty. We can't give the torture killer a mega-ultra-combo death penalty to punish him for how much worse his crime was.

more forumquest gymnastics.

Its worthless to argue with your opinion when the facts are that Niantic sees you just as bad of a cheater than someone who bots.

The sad thing here is that you're too stupid to realize how embarrassed you should be over being so stupid.

your opinions are swiss cheese bro.

niantic is the supreme court who decides whats wrong and right.

that is why i am right and you are wrong.

you dont want to be classified as a cheater like those dirty botters. but you are.

every little 9yr old grinding away outside, you are also shitting on them.

shame on you

You're the only person who doesn't understand.

if you play the game on nox, you are ruining the game.

you guys seem to think that this is not the case.

Also, there's a big difference between just playing the game with Nox, which is basically simulating having infinite disposable income so you could fly around the world catching pokermans wherever you wanted, and running a bot.

im beating it into your brain that there is no difference.

plus, i think you are full of shit about not cheating becase of your opinion on the matter.

if you really are against cheaters, you wouldnt favor one way of cheating over another.

Nox isn't just about travelling continent to continent, it's about being able to play from your sofa with unlimited battery. The need to rest and recharge are two big factors that limit legit players

As I said on the old board, it was fairly easy to grind to 20 using nox, you don't even have to leave your hometown providing it's big enough to have multiple stops. (Don't ban me tucky!!!)

Anyway,, it seems niantic only implemented 12 hour soft bans, not sure why so lenient.

It also seems that catching too many pokemon or hitting too many stops in a certain time period initiates a longer period soft ban. I made a new bot account that got hit with the ban at level 21

Tyen, no matter how hard you try to argue a false equivalence, nobody will care about your pokemon. You botted a very bottable game, got a high level trainer and a bunch of pokemon. Nobody cares.
