Good news: as of July 11, Pokemon are looking at Google more often than pornography. This is the most important moment in the history of mankind, and it seems that we need to seriously talk about it.

Where there is so much noise and why right now? Pokemon is a game for Nintendo consoles, no?

And also cartoon, manga, full -length films and collectible card game. But indeed, first of all, Pokemon is an exclusive series of games for Nintendo consoles. At least she was like that before Pokemon Go last week.

What a Pokemon GO?

This is a game for mobile devices where the participant should, focusing on the stylized Google cards, look for Pokemon. And also catch them, train, collect resources like pokeballs and fight with other owners of Pokemon. There are also teams and towers that need to be captured. Their location is usually associated with significant objects of the real world.

► This is the search for Pokemon on the ground and their capture. At the last screenshot on the right, the tower captured by the red team is visible.

It looks like Ingress Mr Slots Club Casino, do not find?

And not surprisingly – Pokemon Go and Ingress do the same company, Niantic Labs. So the developers are far from newcomers in the development of games with augmented reality.

So, I can catch a pick -up or even a slope?

Alas, the game has not yet officially released in Russia, although if you wish on the Internet you can find links to the client and installation instructions. If you really want to, you can try.

Of particular interest in the game is that the type and type of Pokemon directly depend on the place and external conditions-someone (like Magicarp) can be caught only near water bodies, someone appears at night or after a thunderstorm, and the presence of some types of Pokemon depends From the continent. Most likely, after the GO exit in the larger regions, there will be more reasons to fly over a rare animal to the other end of the world.

► If you want to get a pickle as the first Pokemon, then at the first entry into the game, do not catch the starting charmanter, Squirt and Bulbazaur, and move away four hundred meters to the side.

And they can climb my house?

As they can. Twitter describes a lot of situations that because of this arise. Users hunt Pokemon in churches, stumble upon them in their apartments in the most unexpected places and even pull with Pokemon of pets.

“I wanted my dog ​​to arrange a fight with Pokemon Piji, but she only looked at me as if I had to catch a monster in pokebull for a long time”.

► from the official Facebook of the Darwin police: “Although the Darwinsky police station looks like Poktestop, please consider that you don’t have to go inside at all to collect pokeballs. Another good idea is to look around, crossing the road. Seriously, this sandshire will not run away anywhere ".

I'm afraid to imagine what animals think at this moment!

They went even further in Canada – the game is also inaccessible there, so the Canadians will suck in all heavy ones: they throw round objects at pets, draw Pokemon in photographs and even change clothes and catch each other.

We do not need Pokemon Go in Canada, because real Pokemon roam in our country.

In the last couple of days, many terrible stories associated with Pokemon Go have been walking on the Internet. Is it really true?

Naturally, no – most "shocking" rumors are actually ordinary ducks. One American site (we can do without links) generally stopped publishing something other than fake horror stories about GO. From somewhere from there, for example, the news that ISIS (the organization is prohibited in Russia) took responsibility for the malfunctions of Pokemon Go servers.

Why so – understandable. Stories in the spirit of “The teenager stabbed his younger brother because of the remote game” or “The guy fell under the car, chasing Pokemon, and now wants to sue Nintendo half a billion dollars” collects a full house. The most plausible message was published about the 26-year-old resident of Massachusetts: he allegedly decided to stop in the middle of the highway and catch a Pikachu, which provoked one of the largest accidents in the history of the state.

In general, as grandfather Lenin said: "Do not believe everything that they write on the Internet".

Pokemon at the Pokemon Go tower in the Pentagon is an ideal illustration to the image of the American government. (Snorlax sits on the tower, which sleeps and eats most of the time.)

► Rumor that there are Pokemon even in the White House. The administration does not yet give comments.

That is, a story about a girl who has found a body by the river is also a fiction?

Unfortunately, this is not a duck. 19-year-old shail Wiggins from Riverton really found the body by the river during a morning walk in search of Pokemon. This was confirmed by the sheriff of the district police, noting that an investigation is being conducted at the moment.

Readers ironically reacted to the message – to the range from “This is not the Pokemon she was looking for” and to “This is the best tie of the CSI series:“ Crime's place ”in the entire history of the series!"

► The police detained four adolescents for using intra-game baits to increase the number of Pokemon in some area and lure real people there. Which they then robbed. Virtual bait for a real bait!

The idea to transfer Pokemon to the real world is very successful. How Nintendo feels?

Even better than you can imagine. The behavior of the company's shares over the past week is most accurately described by a quote "Rocket flies at the speed of light". Their cost has increased one and a half times, and in America Pokemon Go is already installed on a larger number of devices than a well -known Tinder dating application.

Great. Speak I can find a game on the Internet and download on your phone?

You can, but be careful. In the UK, for example, hackers under the guise of a client distribute a malicious application that gains access to all data from the phone and steals information. Of course, the application was deleted, but this is clearly not the last such case before the official exit.

Yes, and Pokemon Go itself is not entirely pure in hand. Experts of cybersecurity claim that the application not only gets full access to the user account, but also does it without any alert. Moreover, access to documents (even remote), personal photographs and many other. Nevertheless, the creators argue that none of the third parties received access to information, and they will soon correct this defect.

If these difficulties do not scare you, then welcome to the club. We wish you good hunt and catch them all!
