Love it or hate it, Pokémon Go is bringing out the best in people. There are the impromptu meet ups, organised walks of thousands, and the general feeling that, yes, humanity isn’t so bad, which is quite the feat given the a torturous few weeks we’ve had in the UK. Unfortunately, like any video game (AR or otherwise), unscrupulous players have entered the Pokémon Go fold, and they’ve figured out some (admittedly clever) ways of cheating the game out of Pokémon, without even having to walk around to do so.

The first method is actually a way to get Pokémon Go up and running on a PC. The technique, created by YouTuber Travis D, involves installing the Android phone emulator BlueStacks, and then rooting that virtual device in order to install an app that spoofs the reported GPS location. From there, you can play the game just like you can on an Android or iOS phone, without the need to go outside at all. The solution isn’t perfect given that you have to tab out every time you want to change your GPS location, and there are random crashes. That’s not to mention that, thanks to GPS spoofing, you can effectively take over Pokémon gyms and find Pokémon that would otherwise be inaccessible, thus screwing over those who actually put in the hard work and walk around for miles.

There was a similar cheat unveiled on Twitch earlier this week, dubbed the Pokémon Go Cheat Tool, which involved downloading a modified version of the Android app APK that allowed you to change location at will. In the stream, which has now been removed, the player was able to catch numerous Pokémon without leaving his seat. The streamer also claimed that the hack would allow Pokémon Go players to collect items and level up their Pokémon without having to grind or use in-app purchases.
