The pokego command is a hypothetical command-line interface for an unofficial script designed to interact with or automate aspects of the Pokémon GO game on Linux systems. It is not a standard Linux utility but represents a type of community-developed tool often used for botting, spoofing, or enhancing gameplay experience. Such tools typically manage game sessions, simulate player actions, or retrieve game data. Due to its unofficial nature, its functionality can vary widely based on the specific script it controls, and its use often violates the game's terms of service. This description outlines a conceptual implementation of such a command, as it would likely function if officially documented.

The pokego command is not a standard Linux utility and does not ship with any major distribution. It refers to a class of unofficial, community-developed scripts for playing Pokémon GO on Linux. Use of such tools may violate Niantic's (the game developer) Terms of Service, potentially leading to account suspension or termination. Furthermore, as these are often third-party projects, their security and stability cannot be guaranteed. Users should exercise extreme caution and be aware of the risks involved.

Since pokego is not a standard command, its installation typically involves cloning a Git repository, installing dependencies (often via pip for Python scripts), and then running the main script directly, or creating a symbolic link to make it callable as pokego from the PATH. Specific steps vary per project.

This entry describes a hypothetical command and its likely features based on common practices for unofficial community tools. It is provided for illustrative purposes and does not represent an actual, officially supported Linux command.

The concept of a 'pokego' command likely emerged shortly after the release of Pokémon GO in 2016, driven by a community desire to play the mobile game on desktop Linux systems or to automate gameplay. These tools often started as simple Python or Node.js scripts developed by enthusiasts. Their development was largely reactive, adapting to game updates and anti-cheat measures. Over time, various unofficial projects emerged, each with its own command-line interface, though none became an 'official' or widely standardized Linux command.
