Pokemon is currently taking the world by storm, with news that Nintendo’s app has already eclipsed Twitter<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

However, walking around all day only to find another Zubat is already beginning to feel frustrating, and many of us are\u00a0wishing we weren’t tethered to our desks.<\/p>\n

It’s no surprise that people have already formulated a number of “cheats’ to help them catch em all.<\/p>\n

First off,\u00a0a word of warning, <\/strong>MyGaming does not endorse cheating in Pokemon GO in any way and if you are caught you can expect a ban <\/a>of around an hour or longer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A lot of Pokemon GO players\u00a0are using\u00a0Pokemapper<\/a><\/strong>. This tool collates Pokemon sightings across the world for you, meaning you know exactly where to look when trying to find that elusive Charmander.<\/p>\n

It was also recently discovered that it is possible to spoof your location if you can’t leave your desk.<\/p>\n

Cheaters are using various location-spoofing apps on both iOS and Android in order to trick the Pokemon GO application’s GPS location.<\/p>\n

The following video from Linus Tech Tips gives more detail on how people are trying to cheat in Niantic’s location-based games.<\/p>\n
