Pokémon GO: A full guide for beginners

                    

                         Pokemon GO is an easy enough game to understand, and I have  decrypted it step by step for you.

It has been month since  the launch of Pokémon GO, and the fire to catch the virtual monsters rages on. Unless you are a troglodyte, or someone who lives in the remote wilderness of the Amazon jungle, it is a good bet that you are familiar with this mobile game. The game has penetrated all forms of social structures and is not only the most downloaded game from iOS and Google Play Stores, but has also trumped Facebook to be the most used app in the world — a true feat on its own.

Pokémon GO has still not arrived in India, but the game is already running on millions of devices in the country through proxy downloading. If you haven’t downloaded or played the game till now, and are waiting for the official launch of the game in India; here is what you need to know in preparation to play the game when it finally comes.

Signing in and setup: Pokémon GO has been developed by San Francisco based company, Niantic. The game requires the player to have a gmail account to sign in. If you have signed in and the page doesn’t move past loading, you might need to close the application and try again. Niantic is still battling with patchy servers owing to unprecedented traffic from the games over-the-top popularity. After you successfully sign in to the game, you are required to customise your character.

You need to go outside
At first we tried to play the game in our office but we found only onePokemon and the game just wouldn't work properly no matter how stable the Internet connection or how many floors we climbed. Head outside, plug in your headphones, look at the phone and you will start seeing Pokemon Gyms, Pokestops, and of course wild Pokemon.

Don't  play it on Indian roads

If you've ever walked on any Indian road, you know how dangerous it is for pedestrians. Most vehicles disregard basic rules such as stopping at traffic lights, one-way streets, flashing indicator lights, etc. Pokemon Go requires you to keep looking at your phone for signs of Pokemon and other in-game landmarks. This is quite dangerous on Indian roads. We found ourselves narrowly avoiding vehicles on crowded roads and stopped playing until we reached quiet streets near our home. The game warns you to always stay aware of your surroundings. We suggest you heed its warning, especially in India.

We'll be going out to catch several more Pokemon and to level up enough to battle other Pokemon at the gym. Which Pokemon have you caught? Do you like Pokemon Go? Have you faced any issues playing the game? Let us know via the comment.
