Some want a to have a lot of Pokémon without all of that tiresome game play. So:

b. create an account

c. play the game obsessively – just like everyone else – except your future customers

d. capture a lot of Pokémon

e. sell the account – i.e. login details – on eBay

f. repeat until you are rich – or the craze dies

Method 3

One of the aims of Pokémon is to get players outside & moving. Some are keen on the game, but not so keen on, “outside & moving”. Offer to walk or drive players' phones – for a fee. PokéWalk is one such service.
