Pokemon GO
Its popularity can be attributed to the fact that it is both free to download and play. Pokémon was a phenomenon in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and many gamers find it nostalgic. This is also the first time that an augmented reality game has been mainstreamed. The game experience, which incorporates animated Pokémon characters into the real world, has captivated young people in particular.
Pokémon characters appear on the game map when gamers walk around the real world. When users get close enough, Pokémon will appear on the device screen, and users can capture them by throwing Poké Balls at them. The goal is to amass as many unique characters as possible.
The map is an anime-styled version of Google Maps, with Pokémon-specific structures replacing genuine street names and landmarks.
Poké Stops, which are real-life sites where users may usually get free Poké Balls (used to capture Pokémon), are another component of the game. Pokémon eggs that hatch into Pokémon can also be found and added to a user’s collection.
Description
Pokémon Go is a free smartphone game that blends gameplay with real-world exploration. The game creates an ‘augmented reality in which users catch and train Pokémon characters. In real-world locales using location tracking and mapping technology.
Pokemon Go is a fun game to play. It can be enjoyable and creative. But there are some serious concerns to be aware of and avoid.
Here are the reasons why Pokemon Go is not safe!
- Personal information is shared – the biggest worry is that a player’s location can be traced, kept, and shown to other players nearby. Including children and adults. Users who log in to Pokémon Go using their Google account. According to Common Sense Media, risk having their information compromised.
- Being directed to an unfamiliar and dangerous location – Due to the nature of the game, your child may come into contact with other players. Because it’s such a social game. It’s critical to talk to the child about public encounters with strangers. They should leave the location if something makes them feel uncomfortable.
- Getting together with strangers – physical injury through distraction (such as strolling through an intersection while staring at your phone). Being guided to a dangerous location or private property, and becoming a target for attack or robbery are all possible risks. Unfortunately, similar situations have already been reported. The game also depletes a device’s battery quickly, which might be problematic if it’s the only way to get about.
- Spending money, they don’t realize they’re spending or spending more than they (or their parents) can afford.
The app urges users to go outside and get some exercise. Yes, the child will still be using his/her device. But she will be doing so in the wide outdoors rather than on the couch. The kids get to see new parks and stroll a lot. And just because it’s a video game doesn’t mean there won’t be any social interaction. It can be a wonderful opportunity for your child to meet new people his age or spend quality time with his parents.
