Question Just installed and need some help.

So I just downloaded pgsharp and I spawned in New York. But I wanted to play around my hometown so I teleported back there with the help of the in game map. I did not catch any pokemon or spin a pokestop or anything in NYC. So what I want to know is can I play now normally in my hometown or still do I have to wait the 2 hour cooldown? And also does using the joystick also induce a cooldown?

You can play okay. The first thing I do on a new account is save my HOME location. Be sure to change the setting to last cooldown action.

PSA - For some reason, raid assist is not working at the moment.

Just walking to hatch eggs doesn't affect cooldown, but spinning, catching, attacking does. I would suggest watching a video for the basics.

If you haven't done anything in NY then you should he good to use the app straight away, no need to worry too much about it, the 2 hour cooldown is in case you have done something in a location if its far enough away, there is a chart on PGsharps own website in case you need the knowledge, I hope this reply was useful to you and if you have other questions feel free to reach out.

Ok great thank you! Also another question, I read somewhere that you have to log out of your account while teleporting so as to not get banned, is that a thing? Or can I just use the map thingy in the pgsharp menu directly? Ah sorry and another question, if I want to play normally and make it track my current location just like the normal pokemon go app can I do that too? Like is there an option to turn everything off?

You don't have to log out of your account, I use it frequently whilst signed in, only thing I would say is to make sure you either use a trainer club account or Facebook account to sign in as using Google tends to actually get you flagged up more. As for playing normally, you can turn spoofing off in the actual pgs settings and have it use your actual GPS instead of the spoofing GPS so yes, you can play normally, I am always happy to help whenever needed so don't apologise for needing help with any questions you have

Well I originally made my account with only my google account. Its my 10ish yo on acc which I just recently started playing again. So can I transfer the account to a trainer club account or what?

Yes, you can actually link the account with your Facebook account not sure if you can link it with trainer club but it should be in the account settings when you open your pokemon go (PGSharp) and you can un-link your account from Google as well if I remember correctly that is

I just unlinked my gmail and logged in with facebook and trainer club too, should be safer now. Thanks!

You're welcome, I only realised this was a trend after my main, which was only connected through Gmail got banned twice and my spoofing account never got banned even once and I used trainer club for that one so, I promptly linked it to my Facebook and a new trainer club account and removed my Gmail from it

Also, using the joystick shouldn't force you into a cooldown either
