So, What is Pokemon Go?<\/h2>\n

Pokemon Go is\u00a0a community based on online game in which players can compete as Trainers<\/em> of rare and exotic \u201cPokemon\u201d creatures. The app\u00a0uses simulations of real world locations in which trainers are expected to hunt for, capture and train these creatures\u00a0in order to rank high within the (online) community. You also compete with other trainers for ownership of Pokemon gyms, virtual spaces that can be located almost anywhere in a real world neighborhood. The bigger your collection of Pokemon\u00a0and also gyms if your game is that tight, the higher you will rank.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pokemon Go players can combine to build an online team or community. Since the game involves walking around to hunt for Pokemons\u00a0and gyms, players inadvertently converge in real life locations to \u201chunt in groups\u201d. Needless to say, this unique feature has indirectly made the game a great way to exercise and socialize. <\/span><\/p>\n

While not what every Pokeman wants to hear when enjoying themselves immersed in the game, it is important for players to stay as alert as possible during game play. Cases have been reported whereby players have wandered into unknown and potentially dangerous territories in their quest to capture rare Pokemons including the guy who fell off a cliff <\/a>and the one who was stabbed and kept playing<\/a>. While the game is fun and a good way to exercise, players should always remember that safety should come first. <\/span><\/p>\n
