Can I post about this? i dont even know but / a friend of mine was recently hospitalised and they're in far too much pain to move far so I looked into a way of playing this game without actually moving just as a temporary solution until they can go out and about again.
So I found one of those tweaked apps and I've been playing around with it for a couple of hours just out of curiousity. I made a new account in the tweaked app (since I'm leaving my own personal account for real play) and, to my surprise, I'm apparently halfway across the world from where I actually am haha. So I have no idea where I'm going but i'm enjoying it. Apparently it fixes itself but so far I'm just wandering around the streets of San Francisco from my bed in the UK.
Note: If you're curious about the tweaked apps that are out there - I seriously don't recommend using them, it takes so much of the fun away and obviously comes with risks so unless you're bedridden like my friend is or you've run out of internet data on your phone / don't have a data plan I definitely recommend sticking to normal play.
Edit: Why does San Francisco have so many zubat's how do you cope with THIS
