For Nintendo, the formation of Pokemon GO has become an initial skill in working with smartphone platforms. And again, to the point - once these inhabitants of the land of the rising sun infected the world with their own game consoles in Russia, the fake Dandy gained immense fame, later the Super Mario setting stirred up the world. To date, Nintendo has brought Pocket Monsters to life and opened Pandora's box next.
Pokemon GO app - what is it?
Pokemon GO is an augmented reality mobile video game for iOS and Android by Nintendo, The Pokemon Company and Niantic. The essence of the game is to look for funny fictional creatures - pocket monsters. At the same time, not sitting at home in front of a computer, but moving around in a real society.
This is probably the first video game in the novel that makes good use of augmented reality technology. To put it more simply, you need to hunt for pocket monsters, staggering along the real boulevards of the town, and then swing them to take part in battles. The application uses Google maps and the already developed base of the previous game called Niantic, Inc. - Ingress, released in 2013. But what is most fascinating and unusual, Pokémon Go is free of charge and does not even have ads!
How to play Pokemon GO?
To install a video game on your device and join the hunt for cute monsters, iOS owners living in Russia will need to change the region of the device to New Zealand, Australia or the USA in the options. Similarly, you will need to log out of your regular App Store account and make a new one, with a home address in your chosen region. The address can be fictitious, the main thing is that the index is indicated correctly, you can not attach a credit card - Pokemon GO is free for download. Android players are required to give permission to their own mobile equipment to install special apk files from third-party sources, download it, for example from the APK Mirror web blog and install.
Subsequently, installing Pokemon GO, you can return to your own old acc, with all this, almost no changes will happen on the phone - all beloved and fundamental applications remain in place. Players note that in order to complete the game, it will be necessary to enter the "South American" account from time to time. Subsequently, as a video game will appear in the Russian App Store and Google Play, it will need to be reinstalled. With all this, the account in Pokemon GO is likely to remain.
Where to find and catch pocket monsters and how to catch them?
There are practically no clear marks of the habitats of pocket monsters in the location. But there are indirect signs of their presence. First, pay attention to those places in the location where the grass and leaves move.
Keep an eye on the indicator in the lower right corner. On it appear images of pocket monsters that roam here and there near you. But, I repeat, there is no guarantee that you will meet a pocket monster along the way. And this uncertainty makes the video game even more exciting.
The higher the stage of a pocket monster and the less often it occurs, the more difficult it is to catch it. Apart from this, aqua pocket monsters can only be found near the water, some options are found only in parks or even near power plants. There are also unique pocket monsters, they can only be found in specific areas. For example, the monster Mew comes across only in the illuminated room of Banteay Srei in Cambodia, and the fiery Moltress is found only in the mountains of Carmel, around the Burd caves.
If you are a pocket monster on a pocket monster, its display will appear on a location close to you. Stomp on it and you'll be taken to the capture display. At the bottom of the screen is a pokeball (red and white disk) and directly in front of you is a pokemon. We take the pokeball and throw it to the side of the monster, choosing with all this the moment in time when the pokemon will be located in a greenish circle. In general, a couple of attempts are enough to understand the mechanics of this well-known act.
What's next for the Pokemon GO video game?
It will certainly change the future of video games on mobile. So already in 2 days from the minute of the announcement, Pokemon GO immediately became the most common application in the South American App Store. The proportion of Android players who downloaded Pokemon GO in the West has crossed the 7% mark. Humanity stays in this not tricky application more of their lives than WhatsApp, Instagram. According to the Google Trends service, the online cooperative game with augmented reality components Pokemon Go has outstripped the popularity in popular search engines.
Pokemon GO is rapidly gaining popularity, but one of the hallmarks of the game is that it needs to be connected, literally 24 hours a day. You need a good world wide web and an included map. Almost everyone who has already installed a video game says that it is always absorbing. It is played on a date, while walking, shopping or on the way to work.
