Pokemon Go players are reportedly tweaking the game's code in a desperate attempt to obtained Legendary and rare Pokemon monsters.
A YouTube user, NesstendoYT uploaded a video a few weeks ago. It showed the supposed programming code from the Pokemon Go game. He asserted that the details for Legendary Pokemon creatures are included in the code. However, Niantic has not yet made them available to the players, according to Kotaku.
Pokemon Go enthusiasts have been talking about their latest programming code discoveries in various forums such as Reddit. One of the rare Pokemon is Mewto who is classified as a "Mythic" creature. One Reddit user posted some interesting information about the Mythic creature.
The poster said that Mew has been encoded with FleeRate but no BaseCaptureRate. This may mean that this particular Pokemon cannot be captured by players except in certain conditions or events.
Some players dared to modify the Pokemon Go codes. One such hacker was successful in producing a particular Pokemon creature he liked. Unfortunately, that was as far as he got. The hacker confessed that he could not capture the rare Pokemon since the mobile app crashes if he attempts to catch the creature.
One resourceful hacker injected a Python script to the Pokemon Go game. However, the hacker uses a Windows PC to play the game. His modified program has enabled the hacker to only encounter the Legendary Pokemon creatures. Still, the hacker could not capture a single one but merely look at them. So far, hacking the game's programming code did not enable the players to get any of the Legendary Pokemon.
It is likely that the Legendary Pokemon will not appear every day in the game, according to VG24/7. Three of the Legendary Pokemon acts as mascots for the trainer team which means they have to come out soon. Observers conclude that the rare Pokemon may only appear during special events designated by game developer Niantic.
