Pokémon Go is a popular game which free-to-play, location-based augmented reality game developed and published by Niantic for iOS and Android devices. You can catch Pokémon by using your mobile phone and train Pokémon to level up and use them in battles. We all know the Pokevision is one of the selling points. But recently the producer of Pokémon Go remove the function of tracking Pokémon.
As we all know, Pokémon Go encourage people go outside and look for Pokémon. But someone do not like to walk far just for catching Pokémon. Someone develop Pokémon Go bots and any tools just like it. The user first provides a latitude and longitude as a starting point (the center of any major city is a good place to start) and some Pokémon Go account credentials to authenticate with the servers.

When the bot gets close enough to a Pokémon, it can use a simple API call to quickly catch it before moving on to the next target.” That’s how Pokémon Go bots works. “There is a range of motives here from blatant commercial ventures to enthusiastic fans but the negative impact on game resources is the same,” Hanke said. “We don’t expect these attempts to stop,” CEO John Hanke wrote in the post. “But we do want you to understand why we have taken the steps we have and why we will continue to take steps to maintain the stability and integrity of the game.” Less successful have been Niantic’s efforts to block developers of bots and other cheating programs from using its data.
Unofficial Pokémon Go mapping tools were a major strain on Niantic’s servers, the developer said, preventing the game from expanding to further countries worldwide. That’s why the company shut off popular Pokémon location-tracking sites’ access to its data, according to an update on Niantic’s website about the game’s recent service maintenance and resulting controversies. Pokémon Go Account The same tools that mapping site programmers use to access Niantic’s location-based API empower coders intent on creating bot programs, Hanke said. Shutting out cheaters means cutting off those with more “innocuous” intentions, although a recent attempt to do just that was thwarted by the bot-developing community.
“We were delayed in bringing Pokémon Go to Latin America due to aggressive efforts by third parties to access our servers outside of the Pokémon Go game client and our terms of service,” Hanke wrote in the post. “We blocked some more of those attempts yesterday. Since there has been some public discussion about this, we wanted to shed some more light on why we did this and why these seemingly innocuous sites and apps actually hurt our ability to deliver the game to new and existing players.”
