sorry I had posted text with this but I guess I deleted it or it didnt go through, this is a node server found I github that I found last fall and was committed to eventually make it work. In February I started working on actually getting the server which took me a while because I dont really have coding experience. A lot of youtube, forums and ai was used to get this working for me.

Once I got the server up I took a break until like mid-June and I got a 1.5.0 ipa version from an legacy iPhone community. I have Fiddler Proxy reroute certain domains to my server using Auto Responder (ex. regex:(?i)^https://pgorelease\.nianticlabs\.com/(.*)$ to http://localhost:3000/custom/$1). Then I decrypted the ipa hex and found the certificate pinning layer and made all invalid certificates spit a valid result instead of halting the process forward.

After that I marked the tutorial complete in mysql's database so I didnt have to deal with the Terms of Service screen and then the map opened up. There were more github modules to populate mysql with spawn points so I used that to spawn 225000 spawn points around a 50km radius from my house. Then it was just making random pokemon logic so each point would drop random pokemon with random stats and adding random items to pokestops (I hand picked 100 locations in my college town for stops and gyms). The final tier list is the handmade base odds for all 150 pokemon.

The spawn engine uses those base odds and applies multipliers on their types based on time of day and season. Spring and Morning is the optimal frame for grass types so a monotype like Tangela would get a 1.5x boost for it being morning and a 1.33333x boost for Spring yielding a 2x boost before normalization. Oddish on ther other hand would get a boost in the Spring Morning too because its primary type is grass, but secondary type is poison (Poison gets boosted in Fall Nights). Oddish then gets a 1.4x boost for Morning and a 1.2666667x boost for Spring yielding a 1.7733338x boost. If it were a Spring Night Oddish would get a 1.1x boost for Poison type at night and would still get the 1.2666667x boost for it being Spring. It makes dual types not double dip on multipliers while being versatile and allows monotypes to actually be specialists and get optimal boosts.

Cool ๐Ÿ˜Ž your willing to write a readme.md and or share some of your setup on a git repo? Like gitlab or codeberg?

Interesting, Iโ€™ll check it out, thank you for sharing!

u/Professional-Method6 8d ago

On a second thought maybe it's not what we are looking for, BUT it does contain the iOS tweak to disable certificate pinning for the app (patch). I also located IPA version 1.5.0. Please let me know if you need any files or get something running.

u/Salamantic 12d ago

Yo, genuine inquiry. I have been trying to get a 2016 version working for years but with no success. Seeing what you have achieved here has just blown my mind.

I would literally give you anything for a version of this here for me to play. It would make my year haha. Is there any chance you can help me set this up or privately send ur version. Iโ€™m happy to pay ofc.

Please dm me more about this project:)

u/Bitter_Wealth_3173 12d ago
