10 Things you must know about Pokémon go

Pokémon go is a series of game where you have to capture and train monsters in order to have them battle. This augmented reality app lets you “catch” Pokémon in real life, and is obsessing gamers around the world by sending people out onto streets to hunt down Pokémon’s. Here’s everything that you need to know about the hit game

1.Respect your fellow users. This one’s big, since you are likely to run into other users who are looking for the same. The only way that the game stays fun is if everyone plays fair. If anything gets out of hand, go to your settings to report the issue.

2.Since Pokémon go uses your personal information and location, you need to act with the same caution that you would on a social network and avoid using your real name or nickname and providing any other personal details on the app.

3.Players have found that waiting a little bit will cause more creatures to appear that you can catch. Hold your poke balls until the moment is right. Be patient!

4.You can spend a lot of money if you are not careful. Pokémon go is free to download but you could spend hundreds in your attempts to level-up. 80 poke coins can cost up to $1, but if you really wants to win the battle then you will need far more than that.

5.One of the positive benefits of Pokémon Go is that the game helps you meet strangers though you are battling other’s Pokémon; you tend to share joys and frustrations of the game.

6.There have been several sightings of workplace warnings, telling employees to stop playing the addictive game during work hours.

7.One of the major complaints among the game players has been the app effect on your phone’s battery. You can also put the game into battery saver mode within your settings or use it offline to save the battery life.

8.It is not released in UK and South Africa yet. UK users have been told to wait until Nintendo upgrades its servers before getting their hands on the game. But UK iPhone users can install it by changing the location instead of UK.

9.Remember to be alert at all times, use your common sense and stay aware of the surroundings. Many people have landed into sticky situations. Don’t go into traffic or remote locations.

10.Real world GPS locations are now in game Pokémon gyms. App is using an old map sometimes. Lot of churches where the poke gym is located is found to be repurposed or sold and could be someone’s home.
