What it doesn't state is the amount of candy provided after walking x distance...

It's always 1 candy, but I guess it would be nice if they stated that somewhere.

Seems hardly worth it considering a transfer is 3 candy...

So they've changed it?

Edit: So they have...what a joke!! I don't have the patience for this game any longer...

Transfer has always been 1 candy... you get 3 for the catch

That bit I won't contest

been on Level 24 for ages and bothering less and less now

Sadly in Estonia didn't spot any interesting pokemon either but then wasn't on a full on hunt

So to evolve my Chameleon I need another 72 candy, so that's 216 km. I'm level 25 and according to the game have walked 200km.

Keep hatching those 2 km eggs and that Chameleon will evolve in no time. I have no issue with the grind part of the game if we get a lil more content in the future.

mark43 · 14 Sep 2016 at 18:26

Haha if only, I get some right old crap in my 2km eggs.

Ah thats why my pokemon doesn't work any more. Plonkers.

Yeah and way too much effort to bypass got to restore stock images then load that mod. Not going to do a factory reset just to play a game that was starting to get a bit repetitive anyway. Will keep it installed for a bit to see if they go back on the decision but if not it will be gone

Annoying, old phone I gave the boy is rooted/custom rom. Now have to spend hours dicking with it.

I guess you could blame those who abused the game rather than those trying to stop people abusing the game?

Oh indeed - but it appears everyone likes to gloss over "wrong doing" and blame companies.
People mess around with the game and cheat - Niantic's fault.
People pirate music & games - companies fault for adding copy proection
Hacker group hacks bank and publishes personal details - well done them.

Obviously these companies want people who are going to spend money. So they want to boot out the cheaters and keep it fun for those people. To fix the issue they have gone about it the wrong way alas.
SUrely the easiest fix is - client sends location signal, client sends another location signal - could that new location have been reached legitiamtely in that time? If yes, continue, if no - ban.

That already happens, but there are plenty of mods/hacks that let you spoof and nto flag the system by not teleporting you large distances, and keeping your speed in check.

So the Plus came out but it doesn't seem that great: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/52ulu6/pokemon_go_plus_the_plus_uses_only_regular_poké/

At the moment it only uses poke balls. If you have great or ultra balls and dump away all your poke balls, it won't use them.

At least it tracks your distance while your phone is locked. Should help with battery life.
