The game "Pokemon GO" - a discovery in the gaming industry. It is officially recognized that in terms of the number of downloads in mobile stores and Playmarket, the game overtook not only the popular social networks Facebook and Twitter, but also exceeded the record number of search queries (like "What is Pokemon?", "What is a Pokemon trainer? "). In 2016, Japanese animations about pokemon trainer Ash Ketchum survived a second wind, turning into an irresistible craving for finding pocket monsters.
What is the meaning of the word "pokemon"? What is a Pokémon Trainer?
Pokemon literally translates as "monster out of pocket." It owes its origin to animations from Japan with the same name. The essence of the cartoon was to search for and capture Pokémon - cute or aggressive monsters that trainers hunted. The plot of the cartoon is built around a young coach Ash and his friends - Brock and Misty, traveling around the world. Ash wants to become a champion, and for this he needs to win in a fair fight against other coaches. Fortune can only be brought by a strong Pokemon, who obeys the owner 100% and is ready for battle (including physically).
Ash 's first Pokemon in the cartoon is Pikachu. Lightning-fast electric monster is a true friend of the coach throughout the journey. Each of Ketchum's friends has his first monsters, which differ in appearance and in character and in attacking strength.
When catching new Pokemon, trainers not only make friends in pokeballs (red and white round “houses” of pokemon players), but also pump their monsters, who gain experience in battles and can evolve into stronger and more perfect creatures over time.
Pokémon on Android: Legendary Application
The application breaks all records of popularity, and not surprisingly. The game "Pokemon" provides the opportunity in virtual time to feel like a coach of pocket monsters.
Although there has not yet been an official release in Russia, more than 1.4 million Russians have already downloaded this game to their Android phone. Another 2.4 million are still waiting for the official release, without risking downloading the application from English-language sites. Unlike Windows Phone, Pokémon on Android are suitable for almost every model with version 4.4 and higher.
When registering the application, you can use two ways to create an account: through Google mail, subject to the availability of a mailbox, and through the Pokémon Club application. For the first case, it is enough to register an account and confirm the letter that comes immediately after its creation. For Pokémon Club, you need to confirm your account no later than 3 days after its creation - otherwise the program will give an error.
What is the difference when choosing a registration method for the Pokémon application? What is a trainers club?
Nintendo enables users to choose a convenient way to enter the game. It happens that Pokémon Club servers do not withstand client traffic, and the system gives an error. In this case, to enjoy the hunt for Pokemon, the trainer can only log in through a Google account. But progress and levels for each entry method are individual.
How to catch monsters in Pokémon GO?
For those who are overwhelmed by the desire to scream in the style of Ash, “I'll catch everyone!”, But who do not know who the strongest Pokémon is, what is the bait and CP indicator, the application may seem complicated. However, the game carries away from the first minutes when, after registering and choosing the gender of the hero (male / female), it is proposed to catch one of the three starting Pokemon: Charmander, Bulbazavr or Squirtle.
To catch the first Pokemon, the player must be in close proximity to the “victim”: around the hero of the game, a radar in the shape of a circle constantly pulsates, then increasing, then decreasing in diameter. Pokémon that fall into the radar area can be caught by the trainer. To do this, you need to click on the image of the Pokemon and wait until the information is updated: either a virtual reality field appears, or a camera taking pictures of the situation around. In the first case, a virtual picture is displayed with a green field, a pokeball at the bottom of the screen and a jumping Pokemon. For the hunt to be successful, you need to move your hand across the screen from the bottom up, trying to get into the field of "capture" of Pokemon. The higher the level of the Pokemon and its CP, the faster the diameter of the field for catching monsters will decrease and the more often the Pokemon will try to slip away from the trainer after a successful throw. You can try to lure them with candy - raspberries, which will be given to the participant after passing through the pokestops.
Description of the terms and features of the Pokémon GO app
Pokestops - they are marked with a blue icon on the map - represent the stopping places for Pokemon trainers where they are given small bonuses for use in the game. When approaching the pokestop, the icon in the game will change - an icon will appear that can be untwisted from left to right. During rotation, the pokestop will present the trainer with raspberries for lure, a set of pokebol, a bait or an egg.
The bait can be of two types: a module on the pokestop and a magic essence. The first is installed only when close to the pokestop, the second is attached to the trainer himself and is implemented in the form of a magical cloud of pink smoke. The goal of both lures is to attract more Pokémon to the trainer.
Each Pokemon is assigned its own level of CP - an indicator that characterizes the average power, the fury of attacking actions and the speed of recovery. The higher the CP of a Pokemon, the more damage it can do to an enemy and the more difficult it is to catch it.
From the eggs (after placing them in a virtual incubator), then Pokémon are born. The longer the egg has been "carried", the more rare the monster can hatch.
