I know now why so many people skipped and/or hated this game haha! (Just got back from Disney). It was fun, but deleted now. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

Them and their buddy must get around...

(The game has a mechanic where you can gain candy needed to power up specific "buddy" pokémon from fitness tracker walking distance)

Oh God, lol, I thought this person was letting their kid go fight a gym while they got a quicky. That makes so much more sense.

Yeah, it's probably more British slang more than anything. To "bang in" or "knock in" or "pan in" or "put in" a quantity of anything is generally used to describe a tedious or repetitive task.

One could "knock in a good few hours of revision" or "bang in half hour on the treadmill" or "put in a shitload of effort" or other such terms.

In this case, my lad plays Pokémon Go, but I'll cover distance goals to accelerate progress a bit.
