It was a total success. The Pokémon GO augmented reality game has become a real mass social phenomenon in just a few days. People use this app more than WhatsApp (and that is to say), and that is why we could not give the readers of MessaggiMania a complete guide with all the information on this new game that seems to be already the new phenomenon of the year.

The extraordinary thing about this game is that, unlike the others, it is played in the real world, on the street, in pizzas, in monuments. But let’s go in order.

Let’s see separately 3 information about Pokemon Go:

• How to download the app
• How to play
• Other info you need to know

1. How to download Pokemon Go?

2. How to play Pokemon Go?

Playing the new Pokemon video game is as fun as it is easy. After downloading the app, you will be immersed in a Pokemon universe from which you will never be able to leave.

The most incredible thing about this game is augmented reality: Pokemon can be caught on the street using the phone’s camera .

As you walk, the app will notify you that there is a Pokemon in the area and you will have to catch it (all thanks to the GPS of the mobile phone).

So, if you are near the sea you can find some aquatic Pokemon, or if you are near the mountain of land Pokemon and so on.

After spotting it, it’s your turn to take out your virtual poké ball and try to catch it.

But let’s see step by step how to start playing.

When you open the Pokémon app, you are greeted by Professor Willow , who will give you basic guidelines on how to start hunting Pokemon with Pokeballs and will ask you to log in with your Google account to begin the adventure.

The first step is to create an avatar that is different from that of other coaches. Players can design a character based on their gender, with different combinations of clothes, hair and eye color. Then you will be guided in choosing the first Pokémon.

The first catch is quite easy, because the Pokemon will be located near you. To catch it, just let it fit into one of your two Pokeballs.

With the first catch the game officially begins. Now it’s time to look for the Pokemons on foot down the street.

Walking through the streets of the city you will find the PokeStops , where you can retrieve Pokeballs and other items for free.

These stops (indicated by blue squares on the map) are usually found on local attractions, such as monuments and historical sites.

The stop changes shape as soon as it approaches you, and you just have to rotate the screen to catch the object.

Once you reach level 5 on Pokémon GO, you can  join one of three teams: red, blue, or yellow . Once this is done, you can enter one of your Pokémon and start defending it. Pokémon Go gyms are located in real places like monuments, museums, etc.

Each has their own gym depending on the experience level of the team. The evolution of the creatures and the trainer are based on fighting between Pokemons.

NB By placing one of your Pokémon in an empty gym, you will take control of the entire gym.
