Who Knew to Catch Pokemon??

Hi,

last few days have seen a buzz of activities over Pokemon GO. There are reports of Pokemon doing 10 Billion $ revenue in couple of days. Its so addictive that people are roaming with mobile phones in hand and eyes glued on to the screen in search of Pokemon, that often people dash into objects.

All this have been in only 3 countries and all over the world it has been a craze.
If you dont fall under these 3 countries then you may have to follow the procedures from
http://www.mirror.co.uk/tech/pokmon-go-how-popular-game-8396388 to install in Android and iOS. Although Android is easy, iOS needs some workaround to install .

So whats this Pokemon? For those who have not seen the cartoon ,
So, the Pokemon Go is not yet in India, but for Android we can get it through app sites and install it.
I tried it on mobile by downloading from apkmirror.com and installed it.
Initially looks and feel are good and it took me some time to see what it is actually doing.This is an augmented reality game which is why it is using all the sensors and GPS from my mobile and mobile data to map out the city in which I am. Also based on few points it is creating PokeStops, which are places from actual Map. We need to walk to that place with the mobile and the person in the game walks accrodingly towards the stop. Also while walking suddely out of nowhere, PokeMons appear which we have to catch and gaing XP and points.

Initially, the game seems trivial but with the concept of physical movements, we unknowingly get addicted to it and we forget the place where we stand. There is a statutory Caution in the Game which tells us to be alert while we play. I have recently started playing the game and it seems to be easy at times.

Pros
Nice game to kill time
New venturing into Augmented Reality
Cons
I almost hit the door while playing.
Also I dunno what to do when the PokeStops shown are in neighbours buildings. We may have to tell them that we are playing Treasure Hunt game.. (sigh!)

Overall the game has maddened the gaming world and lets see how it will perform when it is released into all the countries. Also what the future with this game.. still searching...

Till Then .. Game On!
