New Pokémon Go bot ‘automates the entire game’

Insta-PokéGo, a new bot that enables you to cheat at Pokémon Go, launched Wednesday. The bot comes from a group of current and former Dropbox engineers, according to co-creator Steven Bartel. But this little piece of tech faces an uncertain future as the makers of the monster-catching sensation crack down on those who don’t follow its rules.

“Niantic hasn’t taken action yet, but they probably will soon, as they’ve just now started to take a stronger stance against botting,” Bartel told VentureBeat in an email. He said that more than 4,000 Pokémon Go players have used the bot since its launch, he said.
