If you are not using Pokevision with the three step glitch, then it is more shame on you if anything. It will take you longer to level up and longer to get the Pokemon you want and at the same time you will not be able to compete in gyms. If none of them matter to you then that is fine but I do not see how people who do use it should be classed as cheaters or be shamed in any way, shape or form. I have only been on two dedicated "Pokehunting" (lol) trips. The first one I did not even know Pokevision existed at the time and the second one was a lot of fun consisting of constantly walking and seeing what pops up on the nearby Pokemon then finding where they are on Pokevision. It does not make you a better player or be a reason of pride for not using it. If you feel it takes the fun out of it then that is up to you but I have had a lot of fun with it personally and to call it cheating is ridiculous when the very tracker that is provided in-game is completely useless. P.S. My apostrophe key has decided not to work since installing Windows 10 so do not judge my overly formal prose.

Each to their own really, I can understand why people don't want to use it as it'll make the rare finds even more of a surprise but yeah, it's hardly cheating, especially compared to some of the power levelling and real life purchases people are doing to get ahead.

Maybe I don't understand it properly but I don't see how it's not cheating lol.

i dont think its specifically cheating cos you're not really playing against anyone, but it takes the fun out of walking around for me. half the reason i walk round is to hatch eggs and get stuff from them anyway, added bonus to find new pokemon as well.
went for a 3 hr walk with my sister the other night round some big lakes, lovely evening and added bonus of catching pokemon. personally dont see the point in dashing to specific places in a time frame to catch specific things

So whereas the game will tell you that a Weedle, a Paras and two Spearows are all three footsteps away (and the three footsteps covers nearly a mile radius iirc), this actually narrows it down to the area. It's not accurate but it's better than wandering around aimlessly and missing out on a rare pokemon because they've not fixed a bug that stops you from being able to track a Pokemon down.

By the way, there are fairly strong rumours the Pokémon proximity feature is intentionally disabled rather than bugged. Logic is that it's been done to reduce server load. This makes sense, as I can't recall their servers going down in same way before the 'glitch', and the data stream required to keep that feature up would be considerable.

Caught a Scyther earlier, hopefully it keeps spawning in the same place daily like it has been and doesnt disappear once you've caught it. It was a pretty shit level but if others appear I can either catch a higher level or use the candy to improve this one.

Met a mate at the gym and he came bounding over all excited, he'd caught a 1700cp Dragonite during his walk over, the bastard.

Wasn't even using them (they were down lul) which makes it all the more frustrating. Chanced upon it on the way back home.

Just caught a wild gyarados! Shit CP, 900s. But because I've been saving to evolve a magikarp I could just power. It up to 1547cp
