Pokémon Go requires players to hunt virtual Pokémon on their phones in real-world locations. The game uses phone's camera and GPS to locate and catch Pokémon. Players must walk around the neighbourhood in order to find Pokémon, a task which may not sit well with some players who like playing games sitting comfortably at their homes.
Part of the game requires players to walk certain distance to hatch eggs and earn medals (bronze, silver and gold). Armchair gamers can still be a part of it by tricking the game with few simple hacks. According to BroBible, sticking your smartphone to a rotating surface such as cycle wheel or a disc player using glue or tape can do the trick.
The GPS on the smartphone will see the device rotating, making the count for steps much needed to hatch eggs and earn medals. The trick has been demonstrated in a short video on YouTube, which can be found at the end of this article.
But what's the fun in that? The real game is walking around your neighborhood and making the most of the virtual adventure. However, it can be depressing if the progress of your game is lost, a bug which has been reported in the game. There are other problems with the game as well, such as battery drain and login issues. The developer of the game Niantic had to pause Pokémon Go's global roll-out due to server capacity issues.
