Is asking how to get a game working on a jailbroken device on-topic?
@camelCase older releases of Pokemon Go ran fine on rooted devices. After v0.37.0 it stopped working because Niantic added a tool (Safety Net) that blocks the game on non-stock ROMs. I share the perplexities of DJPirtu, especially because it's not a matter of settings/configuration, but involves a lengthy process that requires re-flashing your phone. While not actually touching the APK, this looks too close to cracking a DRM for me. Anyway, I've explaind my position; as Sterno said, let's see where the votes lead us.

"Full definition of piracy, 3.a: the unauthorized use of another's production, invention, or conception especially in infringement of a copyright". Niantic INTENTIONALLY BLOCKED the game on rooted devices. I'm not talking about the POSSIBILITY of cheating, by finding a workaround to play on one of those phones you are doing an "unauthorized use of another's production", so, by the Merriam-Webster definition, you're pirating the game.

What if the game has been specifically programmed to NOT run on rooted/jailbroken devices? (this is the case of Pokemon Go) In that case that's not a matter of giving tech support to troubleshoot bugged configurations, it's not even a matter of jailbreaking, it becomes a way to fool the game into thinking you're a legitimate user. Isn't that like using a keygen or a crack to play a game illegitimately gained?

Bridge Movie Night - June 2016
@GodEmperorDune is there any age restriction for Bridge Movie Night? I couldn't find any in Yuuki's presentation and, given that there's another R-rated movie among the suggestions (Mad Max), I thought that there was no problem about this
