That's because you're in the UK and that's the norm, more or less, amongst British people. In Eastern Europe quite the opposite is true - people would have an attitude like "why would you even want a phone that's locked to a certain provider?" It just doesn't make sense. Shops sell already rooted phones, and so on.s off some people but not enough to really harm Niantic. The game going 'stale' for people is a much bigger deal I think.272BHP said:
My son wants his starter Pikachu as his buddy but it is only 11cp.
We have another one at 450cp is there any benefit to putting the higher cp as his buddy?
Is the 450cp one a pikachu as well?We have another one at 450cp is there any benefit to putting the higher cp as his buddy?
I presume it is so AIUI the only reward is going to be the relevant candy, so will make no difference which pikachu you Buddy with.
Regarding the root issue.....
Just checked the update on my wife's phone (which is rooted same as mine), and it won't work.
So I'm only in as long as the un updated version works for. I'm not going through all the root masking steps that would be necessary.

I've been one single Magikarp candy short of being able to evolve for the last 3 days. Manchester is utterly crap for finding pokemon!! 
Chester Zoo have held 2 after hours charity events. Managed to raise £34k from both, might be worth checking if they are having any more.There was a stampede to the main enterence when a Snorlax spawned at the first one 
I must say my fitness has improved the amount of walking me and my wife have put in.Level 23 - 114 Pokedex.

Well something funny is going on. He put his 11cp Pikachu as his buddy last night and he has walked/scooted 4 km today. The Pikachu is now at 37cpI presume it is so AIUI the only reward is going to be the relevant candy, so will make no difference which pikachu you Buddy with.

Interesting, unless he's sneakily used some of the candies earned by walking to power his little friend up? 
I'm 2 km into earning a growlithe candy so I'll keep an eye on the cp as we go on.
Edit---- no change to cp on growlithe, Just the additional candy. Unless it's a special pikachu gift, I reckon he's been at the power up button.
