- beckler 10y agoI don't know for sure, but I'm going to say 'not entirely'. Certificate pinning would prevent you from sniffing the requests, and if they made API changes, you would be unable to analyze them. So I think the reason Pokevision stopped working is because they may have made API changes, but they've been unable to see what the changes were.

- ajnin 10y agoI think it's a combination of a quite large IP ban wave and sternly-worded letters to the developers of said tools.
