The Viral Week

If you have browsed any entertainment website in the last few days you have surely seen news about Pokemon Go. Its in every other frontpage, the Game that is destined to make the world healthy by making you take fun walks. The new Augmented Reality Game developed by Niantic Labs was released last week.

The game may not be available in Google Playstore for all countries but the apk can be downloaded by anyone, like the one i installed.

If you have played Ingress before then you’ll just need few mins to understand how the game works. And if you are playing a AR Game for the first time then it could get frustrating initially till you find a Pokemon loitering around you. You catch the first Pokemon and thats it, you will get addicted to the game.

Safety Tips

Be prepared to get healthy and try to carry a bottle of water in your backpack. Most importantly, walk safe, take side-lanes and be aware of road potholes and drains. When you are walking you do not have to keep looking on the phone. Just keep walking and if there’s a Pokemon or Pokemon stop the phone will vibrate; Stop and catch the Pokemon then walk again. Avoid playing Pokemon in lonely places. Pokemon Go drains the Battery and will continuously consume your mobile data for GPS and you may be left with a dead phone when u nee it. So carry your charging adapter or a extra battery. Be careful while going to Unknown Pokemon stops. There was a robbery reported in Missouri where few guys created a Pokemon stop and waited for someone to reach there and then robbed them. So be aware whats happening around you 😃.

Happy playing Pokemon Go. Enjoy!!!!
