Unable to power up past lvl39.5

[fknraiden]

A friend(40) who uses this also is able to power up to L40, Im only 38. I think it is being forced to trainerlvl+1.5 even though we were able to triple tap to Lvl 40 from trainer38 before they removed that "bug". Any way to removed that restriction if trainer lvl=38+?

I'm LVL 38. I think the app has a +1.5 LVL check when trying to power up. So it's not trying to send the power up request.
I too would like the limit removed (I have an Arcanine stuck at 39.5 since I didn't know about the limit).
It could be a hidden setting in the config file. Or simply a warning "Are you sure you want to try to power up over the game client limit? This may get you banned."

Currently you can still power up to 40 at level 38 if you use 3 phones. Or 1 phone and BGPM. But only if you start at pkm level 38.5.

Then again I will soon be level 39 and this issue won't impact me anymore.
