About this game

When playing Pokmon GO, the user interacts with a map based on the real world (initially Google Maps and currently OpenStreetMap ). The player locates and searches for Pokmon through this map. As it moves, the application vibrates to warn of the presence of virtual creatures along the way. When touching the screen of the smartphone it is possible to visualize the Pokmon in the same place where the player is, since the game overlies to the camera visualization the image of the Pokmon and to simulate that it is in the place where the player is, similar to the virtual reality. To capture the little monster, just fling a Pokball. From then on, in addition to trying to catch all different Pokmon types, by reaching level 5 of the game it is possible to dominate the various gymnasiums spread throughout the city. In addition to the Pokmon Gymnasiums, there are specific points in which it is possible to collect items and Pokballs (the so-called Pokparadas). These places are generally well-known points of the city (museums, monuments, among others).

A phenomenon has taken over all the mobile phones of gamers and is called Pokémon Go, the first augmented reality game in the franchise. Thousands of memes on the internet and experiences on social networks attest to its explosive popularity.

Everyone will wonder what is Pokémon Go and how did this idea come about?

Pokémon Go was born as a form of April Fool's Day, it turns out that in 2014 Google Maps and Nintendo cooperated to make an April Fool's Day announcement called the Pokémon Challenge in which you were supposed to hunt Pokemon using your phone with the Google Maps application. The trailer was a successful 17 million views on YouTube and the plan to create the Pokémon Go experience was soon created.

Pokémon Go is an augmented reality game that works with the camera of any phone, the player walks near his city and when he passes near a Pokémon, the phone will emit an alert through a vibration. When you turn on the camera of your phone you will find a Pokemon projected in reality and you can capture it through a Pokeball, this is how you will slowly become a Pokemon master capturing creatures with which you can challenge the various gyms distributed throughout your city. Eventually, you will be able to challenge your friends to have pokémon battles and decide to decide once and for all who is the best trainer.

The purpose of the game is to create an interactive network of trainers and Pokémon duels, however, not everything is like in the classic experience, combat depends much more on the level of your pokemon than that of strategy and to attack or defend you only have some touch commands. Also to heal your pokémon you need to use potions that you can find at Pokestop in your city or buy with real money through pokecoins.

The evolutions also depend on whether you have enough sweets obtained by exchanging or capturing pokémons although you can also buy them through pokecoins.

When you download Pokémon go you do not live a completely original experience, it is actually a clone of Ingress an augmented reality game in which two sides dispute various control zones in their city through combat and exploration through their phone, in an alien invasion scene. This game provided the framework for the Pokemon Go experience.

 

There are many people who start capturing repeated pokémons and are not sure which is the strongest, which to evolve with. You must evaluate the abilities of each one and understand them. The attacks are the most useful and are basically 2 attacks that they have for their gym fight.

Pokémon Go cheats

Quick capture, one of the best tricks of the game that is very useful especially to use in community days since it allows you to skip all the capture animation and in this way be able to catch many more Pokémon in less time.

The first thing you have to do is click on the pokémon you want to capture, once on the capture screen you will see that in the lower left area there is a circle with a fence, and in the lower right area a circle with a poke ball, you choose one of the two circles, in our case we are going to use the circle of the fence then you press the circle and without lifting your finger from the screen you move it upwards, you will notice that the circle becomes larger.

Now it is time to throw the poke ball and hit the pokemon, then you lift your finger, you will see that in the lower area of ​​the screen, the berries or the poke balls come out according to the button you have chosen at the beginning so you press again on the screen so that the option to exit appears, we press on the fleeing doll and it is already assumed that you have captured the pokémon.

Another trick of the fantastic Pokemon Go Game is knowing how to carry Pikachu on your shoulder. You already know that if we put Pikachu as a partner at first he distrusts us and that's why he is always by our side. For Pikachu to gain confidence and climb on our shoulder, it is very simple, what we have to do is walk with him for at least 10 km, and in this way, once we get it by entering our profile again we can see that Pikachu it's already up on our shoulder.

One fact that you have to take into account is that if we have changed our pose if we have a new pose when we put Pikachu on our shoulders we will return to the initial pose. Keep in mind that the poses are relatively new so it is possible that in the future this will be solved and we already have our pokémon on our shoulder with a current pose.

I hope I have helped them a lot and that they can tell their friends what they have learned from Pokémon go today so that we can play together!
