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
