datamine

Pokemon Go has just launched in Japan alongside a massive McDonald’s sponsorship deal but millions of players around the world are still trying to get as much information about the game – specifically about the legendary Pokemon such as Mewtwo, Mew, and the legendary birds. With speculation about exactly how to unlock these rare monsters and other features flooding forums and communities around the web, Pokemon Fortress have datamined the game to discover a host of previously unknown information. Obviously, it’s important to not take everything from the data as gospel, as Niantic could easily change any of it with updates at any time, but it is the best source of knowledge we have on the game so far. One of the most interesting finds from the datamine is that the level cap for Pokemon Go is set at 40 for the time being. This will mean players have to get 20 million experience to reach the cap and will need 5 million just to go from 39 to 40.
