PTC Account Gen (formerly by Seb)

Nintendo PTC Account Generator

An automation script based on Nightmare.js that can create any number of Nintendo Pokémon Trainer Club accounts with a single e-mail address. This only works because Nintendo doesn't check for "[email protected]" e-mail tricks, where the e-mail host completely ignores any part after (and including) the plus sign and sends it to "[email protected]".

This project was started as a proof of concept: even multi-billion dollar companies that just released the single most popular mobile game (Pokémon Go) sometimes miss the details.

More about plus signs in e-mail addresses on StackExchange.

If you're using Gmail and want to automatically verify all accounts, use this gist: https://gist.github.com/sebastienvercammen/e7e0e9e57db246d7f941b789d8508186 or https://github.com/FrostTheFox/ptc-acc-gen/blob/master/gmailverify.js

The new version on Nightmare.js now:

• Checks for usernames/e-mails that are already taken
• Can screenshot the result page
• Handles server issues better
• Doesn't require PhantomJS/CasperJS or fiddling with the PATH environment variable

Requirements

Prerequisites

• Node.js

Usage

Linux users, you cannot run this from SSH or a plain terminal. You need to run from a GUI.

1. Install requirements with npm install
2. Open index.js and edit the settings at the top of the file.
3. Run using makeaccounts.sh on Linux, or makeaccounts.bat on Windows.
4. Find the generated accounts in PogoPlayer/accounts.csv.

Note: This message: ... Run this to try different name!:nown as username node name.js -a ptc -u username -p password -l LATITUDE,LONGITUDE -u TRAINER-NAME Is NOT an error and you should not be concerned by it.

Configuration

1. Generate 10 accounts in the format USERx, where x is 0 to 9.

This example corresponds to the default settings. It will generate 10 accounts in the same format: user0, user1, ...

In index.js:

var start = 0;                      // Start from x (NAMEx, [email protected])
var end = 10;                       // Up to x, but not including (exclusive)

var useNicknamesFile = false;           // Use nicknames file, or just append numbers to username?
var outputFile = 'accounts.txt';        // File which will contain the generated "username password" combinations.
var outputFormat = '%NICK% %PASS%\r\n'; // Format used to save the account data in outputFile. Supports %NICK%, %PASS%.

var useNicknamesFile = false; // Use nicknames file, or just append numbers to username?
var useRandomPassword = true; // Generate a random password?
var screenshotResult = true; // Saves a screenshot per account creation if set to true
var screenshotOnFailure = true; // Saves a screenshot even if registration failed

2. Generate random passwords per account.

• Set var useRandomPassword = true; in index.js.

3. Save screenshots.

var screenshotResult = true; // Saves a screenshot per account creation if set to true
var screenshotOnFailure = true; // Saves a screenshot even if registration failed
var screenshotFolder = "output/screenshots/";

4. Use a list of unique usernames instead of USERx combinations.

The list of unique usernames must be stored in nicknames.json. An example is available on the repo.

To create a number of accounts with custom usernames instead of user + number combinations, change index.js:

var useNicknamesFile = true;
