Yet this is a challenge I need to complete to ‘progress’ in the game: Pokémon Go is an excellent game, but Niantic seriously failed to accommodate people in less urban or populated areas. You just need a GPS spoofing app and a top-notch VPN like CyberGhost to change your location.* If you can relate, I’ve got a Pokémon GO hack you can use to access more Pokémon, Gyms, and PokéStops, no matter where you are. South Africa may have caught up with the times and gotten more Pokémon and PokéStops, but trainers outside optimal locations are still at a massive disadvantage. Barely any Pokémon spawned and hotspots were few and far between.
In my hometown of South Africa, like many places, the game wasn’t nearly as developed as in other spots. When Pokémon GO first launched, raving fans flooded the streets to “Catch ‘Em All” while I stayed home and missed out on all the fun.
