Tricks & Tips

2. Safety Tip #2 – Walking and Using Your Mobile Device

Your PokemonGO bracelet sounds while on a busy pedestrian street.

What you would usually do:

  • You whip out your mobile device, manipulating the menu screens in order to catch the Pokemon as fast as possible while continuing to walk

  • People around you, also on their mobile devices crash into you and other people

  • You might even walk into a wall, or trip and fall

  • If you’re in the midst of crossing a road, the same things that happen in Scenario 1 might also occur

  • End result – the Pokemon gets away

 

What you should do:

  • Look around for a spot to pause at which is not too far from the Pokemon

  • Note: Do not stop and stand still in the middle of the path, as this will obstruct other pedestrians – and you should definitely not stop in the middle of a busy crosswalk.

  • Whip out your mobile device, manipulating the menu screens in order to catch the Pokemon as fast as possible

  • Catch the Pokemon!

  • Finally, continue on your journey to catch them all
