So I'm mostly a legit player (at least not a bot), but not innocent. It sucks to lose my one and only account.
Some people suggested if the username is not available, my data is not lost. I made a dummie account and indeed, my username is not available, so there's that.
When I connect with ALL G, my account level is zero, stardust and pokecoins still intact.
Not sure though that all these are solid evidence. Probably not.
Would you suggest to make a bot account at least until I reach my previous lv and collect some mons, at least when the ban wave subsides? If so, with what client and settings?
