How to get more followers on Instagram fast?

[.U.]

I currently have 196 followers, and I'm aiming to get 500. I do a Pokémon role-play, so It's kind of hard to enhance my photos and stuff... I do not want to use an Instagram bot, because I don't wanna pay and I think it's "cheating". Any ideas?

I'm not trying to be greedy, and I'm perfectly happy with my followers. I just maybe want to get a little more popular...?

My username is "quagsire" (hence my Y!A username).

Search the hashtag "pokemon" and follow everyone who has a picture with that hashtag. Also go to the hashtags "Ifollowback" "Ialwaysfollowback" "Ifollowbackalways" and "new." These people are probably willing to return you the favor. Hope this helps
