The exciting game Pokemon GO, definitely, has gained immense popularity around the world among people of different sex and age. In order to plunge into the world of Pokemon and experience all the charms and advantages of this game, you need a phone based on Android or iOS, which will meet the system requirements of Pokemon GO. But not everyone can boast of having a smartphone. The question arises: "How to catch Pokemon without leaving home?" This will be discussed. But only further. To begin with - a few words about who came up with catching Pokemon and what is the point of the game in general.
What you need to know about the game
The concept of the game in 2014 was invented by Satoru Iwata and Tsunekada Ishihara - representatives of The Pokemon Company as an April Fool’s joke for Google. When developing the Google Maps application, Pokémon were used to demonstrate the functions of the service. Then came the idea of creating a game that became available to users all over the world in 2016 and “blew up” the Internet in an instant. Hundreds of thousands of people began to play it. No wonder, because the creators revived the memories of the most popular cartoon in the 90s! And the plot is similar. You just need to download the game, which is free, launch it and turn on the camera. She will fix the objects that exist in reality. But sometimes, completely randomly, a Pokemon will appear in one place or another. He needs to be caught.
Why catch pokemon? To train them! Having “dragged” his pocket monster, a person will be able to send him to fights with other characters. Victories are added up, which increases the rating of the coach (player). Then new levels, interesting opportunities appear. Passion is growing, a person wants to continue, to achieve new results. That, however, is all you need to know about who the Pokémon are and why you need to catch them.
About the process
But catching a pocket monster is not as easy as it sounds. Why do people catch Pokemon - it’s clear, but where to look for them? Exclusively on real objects of cities and countries around the world. And there are only two methods by which this can be done. Either walk around the neighborhood and look out for them through the camera, or track down characters of interest in the footsteps. The latter method works according to the familiar principle of "hot / cold." Everything is simple. The closer the pokemon that a person wants to find, the more traces appear on the screen.
What to do when a monster is found? You need to immediately throw a pokeball at him. But one may not be enough. After all, all creatures are divided into three groups according to the complexity of capture. Which one of these or other Pokemon belongs to can be determined by the color of the circle in which it is located. Green means the creature will not resist. Yellow warns - you will need to use up a lot of pokeballs, as the monster will try to escape. But a creature in a red circle without additional means to catch is almost impossible. Why catch Pokémon of this category? They are rarer and stronger, their resources are more powerful. This means that a player with such a Pokemon has more opportunities.
On the hunt for the capital's "monsters"
Separately, it is worth mentioning where to catch Pokemon in Moscow. The capital is huge, and monsters can hide near monuments, at stops, in boutiques, shops, etc. Therefore, in order to quickly find the desired character, you need to install the Poke Radar application. Or an interactive map developed by Russian programmers. Entering it, a person can get tips on where to catch Pokemon in Moscow. There, even routes were laid to the place where the monster was lit.
Points to avoid
Why catch Pokemon in strange places, when you can go to where they appear most often? In Moscow, they can really be found on Lubyanka or Red Square, next to the ministries, and also where there is a lot of graffiti. Some even appear in the Kremlin!
It’s still quite possible to catch a monster at the Vorobyovy Gory, Kitay-Gorod, Vystavochnaya, Baumanskaya, and Elektrozavodskaya stations. The last two are visited by the rarest characters.
In the area of Vorontsov Fields and Khitrovka, Pokemon often also appears. In the sleeping areas and on the playgrounds too, but the standard characters usually light up there. But near Gorky Park you can find water- type Pokemon . And near the universities, Dragons were often noticed.
No need to neglect the idea of stopping by the Domodedovo and Vnukovo airports. Interesting characters often appear in the buildings of the transport hub. Only the main thing is not to get carried away and not to wander into the office building.
By the way, a lot of Pokemon is observed in the Moscow Zoo. There appear water, flying, grassy and earthen species of monsters. After it became clear, the zoo became a place where they began to come not only in order to admire real animals.
PC game
It is possible to play this exciting game on your home computer. To do this, you will need to use the emulator of the Android system. Today there are a huge number of them. These emulators are able to play game files that are intended for the Android operating system on a home desktop PC.
The most common emulator currently recognized by Nox. It is valuable in that it does not need to additionally load the game. You can catch Pokemon right away, because it comes in the "kit"! This advantage makes it possible to instantly launch the game on a PC. Nox has an interesting design and is very easy to use.
Installation
Well, it’s worthwhile to talk in detail about how to catch Pokémon without leaving your home by downloading the game on your PC.
After the Nox emulator is installed on the PC, you need to click on the "Try Pokemon GO for PC" button. The file will start downloading. Then, upon completion of the process, you must open it and wait for the emulator to fully load. You will need to run it.
After opening the emulator window itself, click on the toolbar (the "geolocation" icon) and select the location corresponding to the territorial location. This is easy to do - just enter the city of residence in the search bar and select "Geocode". You can zoom in and out on the map to make it more convenient to make a choice. It is necessary to confirm your choice by clicking on the "OK" button.
What's next? You have to start the game. This is done from the main screen of the emulator. You will need to enter the necessary data from your personal Google account. If one is missing, you will need to register it.
After the download is completed, at the point that was selected in the geolocation settings, a personal trainer will be displayed. This indicates that you can start the game - to catch Pokemon.
PC requirements
In order for this game to run on the computer, certain system requirements are needed. For Pokemon GO to run smoothly, you need a Windows operating system (version 7/8/10 or later). As for RAM and the availability of free memory on the hard drive, they must be at least 2 Gb. The video card must have at least 1-2 Gb of memory. Otherwise, the installation will have problems. And a person will never understand first hand who Pokemon is and why catch it.
Game principles
They are also worth noting attention. This is important for anyone interested in how and why to catch Pokemon. Here are some things to remember:
- A personal trainer can be controlled using the WASD buttons on the keyboard.
- Performing any tasks on the map, as well as throwing a pokeball, are carried out by the usual pressing of the left mouse button.
- Many additional functions (the ability to take a photo of the screen, restart, control the sound, etc.) are located in the right side of the sidebar.
- For the most rhythmic movement on the map, you can use geolocation data on the right side of the menu. It is possible to mark new player locations with a colored marker, but it is not recommended to move the player to a very long distance, this can lead to blocking in the game. If you can’t collect all the useful things from the pokestop, or some pokemon “escapes”, there is a risk of getting a temporary lock.
Important game notes
In the event that a Failed to detect location error is displayed, it is necessary to reboot the emulator and repeat all the steps to indicate the location again. You will also have to disable your Google account in the system tools after you log in to the game with your username and password. The game should start.
An important addition: directly in the Windows settings panel itself, you must disable the function that determines the location.
If the game freezes while catching Pokemon, you will need to remove Bluestacks along with its other add-ons. And then - reboot the PC and reinstall the emulator with all the actions applied. Or check again.
If everything worked out, then in the emulator between Pokemon GO and Fake GPS it will be possible to seamlessly switch and indicate new locations. The main character will start moving on the map, but do not jump long distances. Since this is the main motive for blocking.
