Who are Pokemon?

Pokemon is a "pocket monster" with unusual abilities. Nineteen years ago, they were invented by the Japanese company Nintendo. She also released a series of games and an animated series, which is still being filmed. In Russia, they learned about Pokemon in the "2000s" thanks to the series that was shown on TV. The main character of the cartoon was Pikachu.

The rarest Pokémon in the game

1st place - Blastoise. Converted from Bapttle at level 36. II place - Ivizaurus. The first stage is bulbase. Evolves at level 16. Level 32 - venusaur. III place - Machamp. Transformed from Macop to reach 28 level of development. In their turn, when exchanging, they are converted from Machook.

The story of Pokémon is based on a fictional world in which hundreds of different Pokémon live. In games and the animated series, they are caught and taught by people who call themselves coaches. Their the main objective- Collect all Pokémon and become the best trainer in the world.

Why is the game so popular?

First, it's free, so it's easy to download, install, and use. Secondly, a whole generation grew up on Pokémon, and for millions of people this is nostalgia for childhood. They remember how then they dreamed about what it would be like if Pokémon really existed in our world. And now their dream came true. And thirdly, people are attracted by novelty. The phenomenon of the game Pokemon GO is in the rules by which it works.

What to do and how to play?

The rules are simple: you catch and train Pokémon. In order to catch a Pokemon, it is enough to start the game and turn on the camera, after which the "augmented reality" mode is activated. The player looks at the world through a smartphone camera, while the program applies layers of virtual objects to familiar landscapes. There are three of them:

1. The Pokémon themselves, which appear on the screen, depending on the criteria known only to the developers. There are 151 Pokémon in the game right now.
2. PokeStops (Pokestops) - places where you can get balls for catching Pokemon and others useful items... For example, eggs from which full-fledged Pokémon hatch (Pokemon from an egg hatch when you walk 10 km).
3. Areas where you can train Pokémon after reaching the fifth level.

Yes, the game is designed for portable gadgets (phones and tablets), but you won't be able to play while sitting, lying down or moving by car. You can only search for Pokemon while walking: if you move at a speed higher than 16 km / h, movement (for example, which is required for a Pokemon to hatch from an egg) will not be counted.

A variety of secrets are introduced into the game: for example, at night you can catch ghostly Pokemon, in forest parks, and water Pokemon live on the banks of rivers, lakes and seas.

If the game itself is free, then some items for pumping Pokémon need to be bought for real money. On this, the creators of the game earn more than $ 1.5 million per day.

How do I catch a Pokemon?

First, you need to find the Pokemon on the map. And when it appears on the phone screen, you will need to throw a special red and white ball by swiping your finger across touch screen... Getting into a Pokemon is not that difficult because it stays in place. But if you miss, he will run away. The higher the level of the Pokémon, the more likely it will be able to escape from the Poké Ball (red and white ball).

Description of the game

Pokemon go is an augmented reality app for smartphones and tablets. It is this that presupposes the capture of well-known pokemon, collecting a personal collection of them and conducting battles. The places where these monsters can be are displayed on the mobile map, which copies the terrain map of your city. And to catch a specimen, you should comb parks, attractions and other terrain.

The game should work with activated GPS in order to transmit the exact location and movement of the gamer via satellite communication in order to display the animals in real time. A person must go to the signs on the phone in order to hunt for pokemon.

Quite recently, there was a question about the name of the application, and now, after a short period of time, one should already delve into the features of the game.

Purpose of the game

The purpose of this application is the capture maximum number pokemon. With their help, a collection is collected, they participate in battles with monsters of other players. To search for copies, a gamer just needs to walk around and pay attention to his phone. If the creature is nearby, then the grass will begin to move on the screen or traces will appear in a certain direction. The last tip works by acting like hot and cold. The number of footprints increases if the creature is far away and decreases as you approach it.

Pokémon GO is mobile game for iOS and Android from Nintendo, The Pokémon Company and Niantic, using augmented reality technology. The essence of the game is to find funny fictional creatures - Pokemon. And not sitting at home in front of a computer, but moving around in the real world.

Who are Pokemon?

Our story will be incomplete without a short excursion in the history of the emergence of Pokémon. It is especially useful for those who were born recently or, conversely, have already forgotten everything.

The word "Pokemon" is derived from the English phrase Pocket Monster, that is, a pocket monster. A super popular series of games, films, comics, toys and all that, invented in Japan in 1996, is dedicated to these creatures.

During its existence, Pokémon have been both at the peak of worldwide popularity and in the abyss of complete oblivion. We are now seeing an unexpected resurgence of this glorious brand.

However, over the 20 years of its existence, the Pokemon world has developed so much, overgrown with so many written and unwritten rules, traditions and conventions that an uninitiated person will not be able to figure them out right away.

If you come across something strange and incomprehensible in Pokémon GO, do not try to explain it using logic. It’s just that it’s accepted in this universe. Relax and take it as it is. Dot.

So, in the Pokémon GO universe, the main characters are pocket monsters - Pokémon. They are very different: more than 721 species are known in total, but so far only 174 of them are included in the game. However, this is enough for a start, because each Pokemon has its own set of unique characteristics, its own history and development path.

The first task of the player is to capture the Pokémon. However, this can only be done on the street, because the game is inextricably linked with our the real world... To do this, you need to activate GPS and mobile data, start and go for a walk. All your movements will be displayed on the map built into the application.

Where to find Pokémon and how to catch them?

There are no exact designations for the habitats of Pokémon on the map. But there are indirect signs of their presence. First of all, pay attention to those places on the map where grass and leaves move.

Watch out for the indicator in the lower right corner. On it, images of Pokémon appear that are roaming somewhere near you. But, again, there is no guarantee that you will meet a Pokemon on the way. And this uncertainty makes the game even more interesting.

If you come across a Pokemon, its image will appear on the map next to you. Tap on it and you will be taken to the capture screen. At the bottom of the screen is a Pokeball (red and white disc), and right in front of you is a Pokemon. We take the pokeball and throw it in the direction of the monster, while choosing the moment when the pokemon will be in the green circle. Just a few attempts will be enough to understand the mechanics of this simple action.

Got it, and what's next?

One of the most important tasks of Pokémon GO is to capture at least one Pokémon from every available category. Your entire collection is collected in Pokedex, and you need to strive to fill it completely.

But that's not all we need Pokémon for. They also know how to fight each other, and they do it in accordance with very intricate rules, about which a little below. Here, we will just mention that each monster has its own unique characteristics that can be pumped through training. These include Hit Points (HP), Combat Points (CP), and Attacks (Moves).

Let's add to this the ability of Pokémon to evolve. This is important for capturing Pokémon that are difficult to find in nature. For example, if there are a lot of irrigations in your area, but it is difficult to find polivirls, catch as many irrigations as possible so that one of them will eventually evolve into a polivirl. All clear?

What are these rotating things on the map?

These are PokéStops - special caches that contain Pokeballs, Pokemon eggs, and other cool stuff. They are usually located in interesting places, such as public art installations or monuments of architecture, history and culture. So, while playing Pokémon GO, you can at the same time get acquainted with interesting objects nearby, which you had no idea about before.

When you get close enough to the PokéStop, it will expand in size and your smartphone will vibrate. Touch it on the map, and you will see a photograph of this place in the form of a disk. Make a swipe - the disc will start spinning, and bonuses will drop out of it. Collect them by touching each one.

But those big towers?

When you reach the fifth level, you will be invited to join the team. But these very towers (in the terminology of the game they are called "gyms") are the habitat of the teams.

You will be able to identify captured Pokémon in a Free Gym or in your team's Gym, while each player can only place one Pokémon in a given Gym. Pokémon added to the gym can be trained in battles, thereby increasing the level of prestige of this training hall.

The higher the prestige of the gym, the more difficult it will be to recapture it from the opposing team. If Gym Prestige is reduced to zero, the defending team loses control of the Gym, and you or another player can take control of it by assigning your Pokémon there.

The team with the most extensive and pumped-over set of monsters can gradually conquer more and more training halls.

Should I play Pokémon GO?

• If you like walking and adventure, then explore all the interesting corners in your area in search of Pokémon and PokéStops.
• if you love card games and evolution simulators, then collect a complete collection of Pokémon and follow their development.
• If you prefer team-based multiplayer games and battles, then fight for control of the gims and make your team the coolest in town.

Pokémon GO is a game that gives you exactly what you want. And therefore, it is no longer possible to tear yourself away from it.

Well, now you understand why the whole world has gone crazy?

Pokemon game GO finally came out and immediately captured the minds and hearts of people all over the world. Although the application is officially not available in every country in the world, any inhabitant of planet Earth can play Pokemon GO. The streets and parks are filled with eager trainers eager to "catch them all." However, novice players often ask the question: "How to play Pokémon GO?" We will answer this question in our today's article. We will cover the principles of the game mechanics and give some useful tips on how to become a successful Pokemon GO trainer.

How to start playing Pokemon GO

First, you need to install the Pokemon GO app from the official Google Play Store or App Store. If the game hasn't been released in your country yet, it doesn't matter. You can download or use a workaround for.

After that, the game will leave you alone with a huge world to explore. However, there are three main things you can do in Pokémon GO: catch Pokémon, visit PokéStops, and fight in Gym.

How to catch Pokemon

Despite the fact that catching Pokemon in Pokemon GO is as easy as shelling pears, many novice trainers are confused because their "character does not walk." The fact is that it is you who need to walk - then your coach will move around the map. When a Pokémon is nearby, your smartphone will vibrate and you will enter Pokémon capture mode. The color of the ring that surrounds a Pokemon when you aim at it indicates how difficult it will be to catch it (green is the easiest, yellow is harder, red is difficult). For easier capture of a Pokemon, you can turn off the "AR" mode, as well as use more "advanced" Pokeballs. At later levels of the game, it will be possible to feed the Pokémon with berries to make it "kinder" and easier to capture.

Every Pokemon has important parameter- CP (combat power), which pretty much determines how strong a Pokémon is. In order to raise the CP level you will need 2 things: dust (stardust) and candies of a certain Pokemon. You get a little dust for each captured Pokémon, as well as control over the gims; whereas a specific Pokémon's candy can only be obtained by capturing or "releasing" a specific Pokémon. For example, to raise Zubat's CP, you need Zubat Dust and Candy. In order to evolve a Pokémon, you will also need candy from that Pokémon. As your character level increases, you will also encounter higher CP Pokémon in the wild.

Various Pokemon are found in different places... Thus, the game developer encourages us to explore our diverse and incredible world.

PokéStops are important points marked on the map. Usually, PokéStops are located in places that have some significance for the local territory. However, this is by design. The base of pokestops "migrated" to Pokemon GO from the Ingress game of the same developer - and poke-tops are not always so interesting and entertaining. But, we are distracted.

Visiting a PokéStop is the main way to get items in Pokémon GO. When you approach a PokéStop to the required distance, you can click on the PokéStop and start rotating the PokéStop icon. Useful items will "sprinkle" from the PokéStop: pokeballs, potions, revive (stones of resurrection) and eggs. You can also activate the lure module on pokéstop to increase the chances of pokémon appearing on pokéstop. Some items in Pokemon GO, however, can only be purchased with Coins, which can be bought with real money or obtained by controlling Gyms.

Game experience (xp) in Pokémon GO can be obtained for almost any activity, be it capturing Pokémon, fighting in gims, or visiting PokéStops. After getting each level, you will also receive. After reaching level 5, you will be asked: Instinct (yellow), Mystic (blue), Courage (red). As soon as you join one of the teams, battles and capture of the Gym will become available to you.

Gyms in Pokemon GO, as well as PokéStops, are usually located at the site of significant events: for example, near architectural monuments or locations of significant value. You can fight in gyms and capture them for your team. If the Gym already belongs to your team, you can choose one of your Pokémon and fight in training battles against your team's Pokémon. This way you will be able to increase the prestige of the gym and enable your team members to place in the gym. large quantity pokemon. You can also receive daily bonuses in the form of coins and dust for each of your Pokémon placed in the Gym. If the gym belongs to your team and is there free place for one more Pokemon, you can place your Pokemon there, but only one. If the Gym belongs to your opponents, you can fight the Guardian Pokémon in the Gym to eventually bring the Gym Prestige to zero. After that, you can borrow the Gym for your team by placing a Pokémon there. Gym battles give you experience and increase the CP and HP of the fighting Pokémon.

Pokemon GO battles are a simplified version of the battles in the classic GameBoy game. Pokémon enter the one-on-one arena and can use two types of attacks: fast and special (powerful). It is enough to click on the enemy Pokémon to make a quick attack and hold the press a little longer to make a powerful attack (the powerful attack indicator must be full). You can also dodge enemy attacks by swiping left and right.

The fight continues until the HP (health) of the Pokemon becomes equal to zero... You can also escape from the battlefield - but you will not receive experience for this battle. Pokemon can be resurrected using a stone of resurrection (Revive), and then finally cured with the help different kind potions (Potion). Potions can only be obtained in PokéStops, you cannot buy them.

Also, do not forget about the weaknesses and advantages of Pokemon regarding the types of Pokemon: they are standard here, the same as in any classic game based on the Pokemon world.

Pokémon GO items: how to get them

Pokeball / Greatball / Ultraball / Masterball (Pokeball / Greatball / Ultraball / Masterball) - Pokeballs are used to catch Pokemon. You won't be able to catch a Pokemon without a pokeball. Regular pokeballs are available from the very beginning of the game, greatballs become available from level 12, ultraballs from level 20. All types of pokeballs can be "dropped" from pokestops, you can also buy regular pokeballs in the store. The masterball is not yet present in the game, but it is in the game's code. Most likely in the future it will be used during major events to catch legendary Pokémon.

Kamesh of resurrection (Revive) - allows you to revive Pokémon, whose health is equal to zero.

• Do not rush to evolve Pokémon, at least until you reach level 10. At later levels of the game, you will come across Pokémon with a higher CP, so they will be more interesting to you after their evolution.
