Looks like they've once again decided to completely fuck over rural/suburban players by basing it on pokestops.
qq nucka. It's extremely difficult to have a dataset for pokestops apart from landmarks. If there is nothing but a bunch of stupid houses all around you, it's going to be really hard to justify a pokestop. There is some real machine learning knowledge needed to properly place pokestops in areas that have a significant amount of users.
For example, I figured out how to make an Everquest mobile version of PokemonGo.
One of the steps is finding landmarks to place gameobjects on the 3d geo map (pokestops) that players can interact with(which act as spawn points for mobs i.e. frenzy camp). Below is this example:
*mapzen*/v1/search?api_key=search-TeXrSTX&text=YMCA&
boundary.circle.lon=-79.186484&boundary.circle.lat=43.818156&boundary.circle.radius=35
In this example, you get a feed of all YMCA locations within a 35-kilometer radius of a location in Ontario, Canada. That is what I'm able to get as a regular person on the internet.
The whole reason they made this game, is to really do some deep digging, in-q-tel, cia, conspiracy, tinfoil, gps mapping indoor buildings, advertising $$ rape, evil shit.
~you guys have no idea how deep of a big brother experiment this pokeman game actually is. Faggot tuco, a current active rerolled.org admin, wants to disparage my claims of pokeman knnowledge.
My friends, the real "pokemon knowledge" is in the conspiracy afoot. How "they" will control us in the future.
Cum at me, and cum at me hard.
Keyhole received funding from a firm called In-Q-Tel, a government-controlled venture capital firm that invests in companies that will help beef up Big Brother’s tool belt. What’s more, the funds In-Q-Tel gave Keyhole mostly came from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), whose primary mission is “collecting, analyzing, and distributing geospatial intelligence.”
Still unsure if Pokémon Go’s creator is a government spook?
