Hey everyone

Is anyone playing pokemon go in India? I've heard that endgadget gave out an apk link (64MB or so). But would there be pokemon / gyms available since that is controlled by nintendo.

3 of my friends and myself are playing it. The one friend at my hometown (Raipur) has been battling in Gym too (don't know how).

The apk is from apkmirror and about 58 mb in size.

Use from Apkmirror, rest sources kinda shady.

For my curiosity and just general stats, can you share info in this format?

Number of pokestops near your house/ work
Number of gyms close by
Your level
Your team, if not picked yet, which will it be
And how often do you see the nearby gyms getting changed to other teams (i.e. color of it)

- - - Updated - - -

As for myself

3 pokestops
2 gyms
4.5 level
will pick Instinct (yellow)
Every morning and evening gym changes its ownership. Red is dominant but blue and yellow are coming strong as well.

When was I wrong the first time , but that's not the solution, we should not be playing the game when we are driving , it's not just risking your own life but putting others in danger too.

Even if you say so, then all apks provided on apkmirror site are pirated, because these are not provided by play store or by Google.
If these apps are allowed (because Google says Android is open source) then how you will call it as piracy???
Please, explain it.
P.S. im not expert just asking as noob

Yes, android is open source but most of the apps available on play store are not. The developer of those apps do not want you to install from anywhere else. Their terms and conditions clearly state that downloading and using apks downloaded from hosting sites will constitute as piracy.

Ya, that cant be helped
Whenever I play I just keep vibrate setting On so I'll know when a pokemon will appear. Rest of the time I have my phone down. When ever Im in process of catching, I'll make sure Im standing at a safe spot.

In case you want to cheat this shows you all the pokemon nearby and how long they'll be there.

Caution: it takes some fun out of the game. Plus the servers are always overloaded.

You get 10 Gold each day per gym you have a Pokemon assigned to. Haven't spent anything yet. You will also get extra incubators at certain levels

Pokemon are found at places with highest cellular traffic or where people play the game a lot, not necessarily on the road. Though, you will find a LOT of pokemon in malls.
Ideally, you want to join the team which isnt dominating in your area so that you can battle and get XP, so I'd recommend the yellow team as they're the underdogs. Red and blue keep battling for possession everywhere I go.

How VPN works?
*qph.ec.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-cf57c22a03a5e15ddf84b72255953130?

Try these VPNs (1 time in 1 day use basis otherwise face ban)
1. Hotspot Shield
2. Orbot
3. Open VPN Pro
4. VyprVPN
5. ExpressVPN
6. F-Secure
7. Hideman
8. Droidvpn
Etc etc there are many VPN.

Or try this.
1. Use FakeLocation app (device rooted + xposed framework)
2. search Pokemon on pokeVision.com
3. Copy and paste coordinate in Google Play services.

Yes BAN possible. Soft bans (lasts 6 hours)
Soft ban - you can log in but can't do anything else.
for avoiding BAN
1. don't change location too frequent from one country to other (Japan to Australia)
2. Wait an hour for long distance travel, close app completely.
3. Go hunt 1 city a day.

I think it's not possible to cheat online game. Good/popular example for it Clash of Clans game.
There are tools but those will not help you. You can try using other Google account for safety.

Downloading site - Onhax.com / onhax.net (.net was 1st released)

Game killer v4.10 (use custom patch from lucky patcher for pro version) - onhax.com
Game guardian 8.5.6 - gameguardian.net (search Google, click on 1st link>"download this file")
Freedom v1.0.8f - onhax.net
Hack app data 1.7.0 - onhax (you can either use file manager to navigate to game data files in root directory or use this app)
Luck patcher 6.2.4 - onhax.net
Xmodgames 2.3.4 - xmodgames.com
sb game hacker 3 - onhax.net

Use latest version.

The only cheating possible in Pokemon Go is GPS spoofing which sadly many players are doing
And yes you can get higher CP and rarer Pokémon like this since you don't have to go anywhere to catch Pokemon's

Every tech has both sides, like coin.
So why bother, those who play seriously they are Real Gamer, those who cheats they are not real Gamer.

Sad part is that you can easily get all the rare Pokémon and level up really really fast when you spoof compared to actual legit playing

If you haven't checked in Google Play Games app's Leaderboards for each game you will find many cheaters.
If you want showing off then you can also cheat, but if you want to enjoy game for a long time then play by rules.

To cheat or not to cheat that is the question

And game is still in beta mode, they will find solution for that location chat. "Ingress" game wasn't that much popular, you so developer not bothered much.
Developer might fix this location spoof after worldwide release of game.

This is a good Tip guide on Pokemon Go

'Pokémon Go': The Ultimate Tips Guide | Page 2 | Digital Trend


There are also a number of Pokémon that are region-specific: Tauros can only be found in North America; Farfetch’d is exclusive to Asia; Khengaskan roams solely in New Zealand and Australia; and Mr. Mime will only hang out in the European wilds. This only applies to finding them in the wild, however; you can still randomly hatch Tauros, Farfetch’d, and Kengaskan from 5km eggs and Mr. Mime from 10km eggs in any region

if the sly creature manages to slither away before you get there, the system will notify you so that you don’t waste your time (and avoid extreme disappointment). It is said that the new tracker is limited to a max of 500 meters, so it only applies to Pokemon in your vicinity

Okay..how do you catch the rare pokemons when they appear in front of u ?

I found Dragonite with ??? CP and tried many pokeballs..but the devs have placed it far away and circle (red) is small to make it tough :(
though I managed to catch it two times with berries and blue balls but it escaped out of it....wasted N balls and caught 2 times only
but it ran away in the end :(..do I need Black ball to catch it ?

same case with a ??? CP Golbat :(

I reached level 21 and then lost interest. That was more than a month ago.

Instead of improving the game, niantic took the players for granted.
