Pokémon Go

More than 2 weeks ago, Nintendo presented Pokémon Go - game, that currently is the most popular and profitable game in the world.
It is already available in Europe and America and soon is planned to enter Asia.

Pokémon Go (stylized as Pokémon GO) is a free-to-play location-based augmented reality mobile game developed by Niantic for iOS and Android devices. It was released in most regions of the world in July 2016. Making use of GPS and the camera of compatible devices, the game allows players to capture, battle, and train virtual creatures, called Pokémon, who appear on device screens as though in the real world. The game is free to play, although it supports in-app purchases of additional gameplay items. An optional companion Bluetooth wearable device, the Pokémon Go Plus, is planned for future release and will alert users when Pokémon are nearby. - Wikipedia

How to play?

In current version people have only few options to do in game:
  • look for pokemons and catch them
  • power up/evolve pokemons
  • fight with other players' pokemons in the gyms

How to catch pokemons?
When we walk we can find pokemons in the world around us. To catch them we just have to click on them (on the map) and when pokemon catch screen appear, just swipe finger to throw the pokeball.

What are the teams?
When you reach lvl 5 you will be asked to chose team you will fight for. The game offers you 3 teams:
  • Mystic (blue)
  • Valor (red)
  • Instinct (yellow)

As for now, teams allow only to battle each other in gyms, but there are speculations, that in the future, it can affect on what legendary pokemon you will be able to catch - Articuno / Moltres / Zapdos.


DON'T FORGET TO TAKE POWERBANK WHEN YOU GO HUNTING POKEMONS!


I hope that information is enought for you to start playing!
