The popular game Pokemon Go wins the hearts of gamers all over the world. It is interesting because it is based on augmented reality and allows you to play not on a fictional map, but on a real one, walking along real streets. Let's talk about how to play it.
It is necessary
- Android or iOS smartphone or tablet
- Pokemon Go app
Instructions
Step 1
To start playing Pokemon Go, you need to install the application on your smartphone or tablet. Devices running the operating system iOS (iPhone, iPad) or Android version 4.4 or higher are suitable.
Step 2
The first thing to do in this game is to catch Pokémon. More than 700 types of them were invented, but only a quarter of them were included in the game at the initial stage. In the future, developers will add new views to the application. We start the game and go for a walk. All our movements are recorded and displayed on the built-in map.
Step 3
Where exactly the Pokemon are located, the map does not show, it would be, you see, not so interesting. You can guess where the pocket monsters are hiding by indirect signs - moving leaves or grass. You can just check all the places in a row, but this is a very difficult and long way.
Step 4
In the lower right corner of the game display there is an indicator on which images of Pokémon that are next to the player appear. If you get very close, the image of the creature will appear on the map next to you. Click on it and the capture screen will open. Below you will see a pokeball (a red and white ball, with which the cartoon characters used to catch pocket monsters). Using touch controls, we launch this item into the Pokemon. It is important to do this at the moment when the animal is in the green circle.
Step 5
To play well and successfully, it is important to collect at least one Pokémon from each category. Monsters accumulate in pokydex (this is such a personal storage), and the more there are, the better.
Step 6
Also, as in the series, in the game, Pokémon fight with each other. Two hunters can fight. Each monster has its own characteristics, which can be improved through training at special points. It is also important to note that Pokémon have the ability to evolve.
Step 7
Important points in the game are PokéStops. These are caches scattered throughout the map. In them, players can find pokeballs, pokemon eggs and other useful things in the game. The application informs the player about when he is near the PokéStop - his image is enlarged, a vibration signal is given. We click on the disc, it rotates, and bonuses fall out of it. After that, the pokéStop becomes empty, but after five minutes it refills again.
Step 8
The map also has towers (gyms) where teams gather. You can join the team by reaching the fifth level. You can place captured Pokémon in a free Gym or in your team's Gym, and only one monster can be placed in each Gym. Teams compete with each other, beating off each other's gyms, and the higher the prestige of these points, the more difficult it is to beat them off.
Step 9
The game has many specific rules and features that do not always lend themselves to logic. You just need to accept them. With gaming experience, you will have a complete understanding of these rules.
