There is a new cheat in town and it comes in the form of “Insta-PokeGo”. The bot came out recently, another way for “Pokemon Go” players to level up through automation.
4,000 users and counting
Despite debuting only last Wednesday, “Insta-PokeGo” has already lured in a lot of players. Over 4,000 “Pokemon Go” players have reportedly signed up to try the bot which automates the entire game for users.
All “Pokemon Go” gamers have to do is sign up via their website and key in their official account credentials. Once that is done, all users need to do is press the “Let’s Go” button and the XPs, goodies and more will start racking in.
Points to consider
Looking over the process of using “Insta-PokeGo”, the part where you have to enter your credentials could be contentious. Remember that when you do so, it could be a gateway for possible hacks, assuming you are using valid account credentials.
For the ones using dummy accounts on Google, the recourse could be advisable though another point worth considering is how Niantic Labs will act on the matter. Just recently, the company had already revised its terms of service which mean that erring “Pokemon Go” players could end up with banned accounts.
As mentioned in a previous post, Niantic is gearing up by addressing “Pokemon Go” players who have been using cheats to move up in the game. There was even that sample in another post here on Game & Guide showing an account termination notification to prove that Niantic wasn’t kidding on the permanent bans.
Worse, it was far from perfect and could hit innocent players. Thankfully there is an appeal button for players to use though the inconvenience is something many will dread.
In the case of “Insta-PokeGo,” it may only be a matter of time before Niantic comes in and cracks the whip. Nothing close to a ban has happened so far but like the previous exploits, “Pokemon Go” players may want to be cautious or risk the mileage that they have done so far.
