"(RESEARCH) Level 33+ is NOT obtainable without cheating RIGHT NOW. [MATH HEAVY]"

#PokemonGO: RELEVANT AS OF Aug 4th, 2016. UPDATES coming Aug 6th, 2016 with new data.IF YOU FEEL MY MATH IS WRONG, CORRECT IT AND I WILL UPDATE THE POSTTo help us out, and to kinda shed some light on cheaters I've done some basic math to easily help spot a cheater. If you don't like math, or wanna skip the brick wall of numbers here feel free to scroll to the bottom and I'll have a TLDR version.I posted this on r/PokemonGo and got like no replies. You guys like PokemonGo related research, so here you go!So you call yourself hardcore, and say you don't cheat. You're level 33+. I'll disprove you right now using level 35 as a base for measurement. 30 Days since the Pokemon GO Launch in the US. We are using 6,000,000 XP as a base, as that's how much you need TOTAL to be level 35 TODAY.EXCLUDED CALCULATIONS (Feel free to do them for me and I'll add in!)Curve Ball (Minor, causes ball throw misses, etc)Gym Battle, Gym XP, Gym Coins (not efficient, catching/hatching/etc is faster)Eggs. I added a daily bonus number in here, you can do that math yourself. You'd need to hatch 25 eggs a day for it to matter, and good luck with that!XP NUMBERS USED: (We round up anything .5 or more to 1)XPNeeded = 6,000,000Days = 30PkmnCatch = 200 (Assuming excellent throw on Pokemon every single time)PkStop = 50Evolve = 500DexBonusTotal = 142,000 (Gotta complete that dex, you hardcore you!)EggAprxBonus = 25,000 (Assuming you hatch 25 eggs a day, since you're hardcore)TOTALS:XPFinal (XPNeeded - DexBonusTotal) = 5,858,000DailyXP (XpFinal / Days) = 195,267So now we know it takes 195,267 experience gained EVERY SINGLE DAY to get to level 35 TODAY. Not as easy as it looks, eh?PER DAY STATS:Catch 976 Pokemon and each throw must be EXCELLENT EVERY TIME. (DailyXP / PkmnCatch)ORUse 3905 PokeStops once (DailyXP / PkStop)OREvolve 391 Pokemon (DailyXP / Evolve)Not really plausable from my point of view... But maybe you're THAT hardcore.** NUMBERS USING LUCKY EGGS @ 100% UP TIME, BECAUSE YOU'RE HARDCORE BRO ** ** USED CAD for dollar value, don't know how much it costs for you folks in the USA)We assume optimal money spending on eggs.. as well as you never sleep, eat, or take breaks. You're hardcore, remember?$27.99 = 2,500 PkCoins = 50 Eggs28.8 x $28 = $806.4LEggNum = 50 (Per LEggCost)LEggCost = $28.00 CADLEggNeed = 1440 (48Hrs x 30 Days)LEggMultiplier = x2MoneySpent = $806.4 CADLvl = 35XPNeeded = 6,000,000Days = 30PkmnCatch = 200 (Assuming excellent throw on Pokemon every single time)PkStop = 50Evolve = 500DexBonusTotal = 142,000 (Gotta complete that dex, you hardcore you!)EggAprxBonus = 25,000 (Assuming you hatch 25 eggs a day, since you're hardcore)STATS WITH 100% LUCKY EGG UPTIME:Spend $806.4 CAD on Lucky Eggs (1440 Eggs total)ANDCatch 488 Pokemon EACH DAY and each throw must be EXCELLENT EVERY TIME. (DailyXP / (PkmnCatch x LEggMultiplier))ORUse 1953 PokeStops EACH DAY (DailyXP / (PkStop x LEggMultiplier))OREvolve 196 Pokemon EACH DAY (DailyXP / (Evolve x LEggMultiplier))So you're telling me, you spent around $800, and did at least ONE (or a mixture) of all that above EACH AND EVERY DAY, without using a BOT, GPS SPOOFER, SNIPING PROGRAM/ETC? Nope. Not possible, sorry.TIME CALCULATIONS:** NOTE: We assume 1 Pokemon, per 4m, per lure active to grant the numbers below **LureTimeMinTotal = 30LuresPerDay = 192 (48 Lures a day, 30m each, 4 reachable permanently)NumLuresAvg = 4PkmnPerHour = 60So you'd need 192 lures going each day (over a 24hr period), and you'd see at least 60 Pokemon per hour over a total of 4 lures...CALCULATIONS:976 (Pokemon Needed Per Day) / 60 (PkmnPerHour) = 16 Hours (NO LUCKY EGG)488 (Pokemon Needed Per Day) / 60 (PkmnPerHour) = 8 Hours (LUCKY EGG)You'd need to spend a MINIMUM of 16 HOURS (8 with Lucky Egg) at 4 LURES GOING 100% OF THE TIME AND catch 60 Pokemon per hour AND 192 LURES (either bought or provided) GOING 100% OF THE TIME.Still think your level 32+ friend didn't cheat? Didn't think so.TLDR VERSION BELOWWITH LUCKY EGG:8 Hours A DAY4 lures spot ALWAYS UP16 Lucky Eggs EACH DAYAND(FIXING) CAD Spent over 30 DaysANDGet 100XP Bonus on EACH POKEMON CATCHCatch 488 Pokemon PER DAY (60 PER HOUR MINIMUM) OREvolve 196 Pokemon ORUse 1953 PokeStopsNO LUCKY EGG:16 Hours A DAY4 lures spot ALWAYS UPANDGet 100XP Bonus on EACH POKEMON CATCHCatch 976 Pokemon PER DAY (60 PER HOUR MINIMUM) ORUse 3905 PokeStops OREvolve 391 PokemonYeah, didn't think so.EDITSI will NOT attack you if my math is wrong and you correct it, or if you have a different opinion from me. That's the point of this thread! Discussion, research. Please be civil to the thread and any posters inside!PokemonGo averaged about 3 days in down time TOTAL over 30 days. (Unconfirmed, it's probably longer)Even hardcores didn't know how to EFFICIENTLY gain XP in the first few days. I'd say it took all of us probably 2, 3 days? to understand how to use EVERYTHING properly. (Estimate)This assumes you COMPLETED the Pokedex MINUS LEGENDARIES/UNOBTAINABLE BUT you caught the REGIONAL locked Pokemon (also impossible without spoofing)This thread literally ASSUMES you are perfect at throws, nothing ever flees and you ALWAYS gain 200XP per catch, egg included.You get approximately 10 or less of each Lures, Incense and Eggs FREE via leveling. This number is SO small it doesn't matter, and isn't calculated.It is also worth pointing out how generous you were on the days as well. Jul 4th was the earliest anyone was getting in. Since you've used 30 days in the math, that means these also had to people doing this before news was really getting out.
