Niantic has elevated the usual gaming experience for users in "Pokemon Go." Instead of just endlessly tapping the screen to catch new mons, the company incorporated some AR-ish elements in the game to make it more realistic and appealing to true-blue fans.
The game has introduced a walk-in catching method that allows the players to interact with different Pokemon in various locations. Fortunately, you can actually play the game without moving, but is it safe to stick with this method?

"Pokemon Go" spoofing has become a trend for players who want to avoid going outside just to hunt for the mons. But, is it safe to do?
Walking around outside with other trainers to complete the Pokedex is a fulfilling experience that every Pokemon gamer wants to achieve.
The catchphrase "Gotta catch 'em all" is usually the mantra of every Pokemon fan, regardless of the game. In "Pokemon Go," the possibilities are endless on your way to completing the entries in the Dex.
However, not all players are outdoor trainers. Some prefer to play mobile games inside their homes to avoid the hassle of the weather and other things.
You can actually spend your time playing "Pokemon Go" indoors, thus catching almost all Pokemon with ease through spoofing, per Distractify. This method easily deceives the system that you're already in a particular location without physically going on it.
For example, if you're currently in America but you want to catch Farfetch'd in Asia, you can use this trick. You should be mindful that it has some consequences you need to bear.
As a matter of fact, if Niantic detects that you're engaging in this activity, your "Pokemon Go" account could probably be banned. This is in line with the game's Terms of Service agreement.
Although it's doable, we highly advise you to use it responsibly. Still, take note to utilize spoofing with extreme safety so you can avoid getting banned from the game.

Back in March, Tech Times reported that Niantic withdrew the "Pokemon Go" operation from Russia amid the Ukraine tension. This means that all users in the said region won't be able to access the game. They can't download it either.
Elsewhere, Niantic agreed to a deal with 8th Wall to bring more AR-based projects to the platform in the next few years. According to CEO John Hanke, the company will benefit from the upcoming "Lightship" program.
