The world has been turned into a Pokémon menagerie, but the game is not without problems. The real fun comes from going outside to explore.
Using a player’s smartphone camera and GPS signal, the game makes it seem as if wild Pokemon are cropping up on the streets of the real world. When walking around and exploring, players – or trainers as they are called in the game – are greeted with rustling bits of grass, which signal a Pokémon’s presence. Walking closer will trigger them to appear, and tapping on them will initiate a Pokebattle.
But now, Pokemon Go is increasingly disliked by its own fans. Changes to the game in its most recent update as well as efforts by developer Niantic to shut down third-party tracking apps. The new feature is called appraisals, where you essentially show off your Pokemon to your team leader, and they’ll give you a brief report on what they make of it.
