Now’s your chance to discover and capture the Pokémon all around you—so get your shoes on, step outside, and explore the world. You’ll join one of three teams and battle for the prestige and ownership of Gyms with your Pokémon at your side.
Pokémon are out there, and you need to find them. As you walk around a neighborhood, your smartphone will vibrate when there’s a Pokémon nearby. Take aim and throw a Poké Ball… You’ll have to stay alert, or it might get away!
Search far and wide for Pokémon and items
Certain Pokémon appear near their native environment—look for Water-type Pokémon by lakes and oceans. Visit PokéStops, found at interesting places like museums, art installations, historical markers, and monuments, to stock up on Poké Balls and helpful items.
Catching, hatching, evolving, and more
As you level up, you’ll be able to catch more-powerful Pokémon to complete your Pokédex. You can add to your collection by hatching Pokémon Eggs based on the distances you walk. Help your Pokémon evolve by catching many of the same kind.
Take on Gym battles and defend your Gym
As your Charmander evolves to Charmeleon and then Charizard, you can battle together to defeat a Gym and assign your Pokémon to defend it against all comers.
It’s time to get moving—your real-life adventures await!

Such potential! I really love the concept of this game, everyone I know plays this game which is surprising to say the least I've met new people because of this game because we are hunting for pokemon! A dream come true but I really wish there was trading to others pokemon trainers i understand your encouraging players to get out there and find the pokemon they want but honestly I feel it's some what lacking interaction with other trainers and I would love it if I were able to walk around looking for pokemon n see others

Game play is Way Too slow Toronto has pokestops on every corner and most of Mississauga and the surrounding area is practically baron in comparison. It takes forever to get candies to power up and evolve Pokémon and there simply isn't enough spawning to hold a solid interest for very long. I also feel that if you have to hatch eggs by walking you should never get the same Pokémon twice. It should be as you add up the milage you should receive progressively better Pokémon. Hatching should give the best of the Pokémon every time too!

Pokemon doesn't appear in nearby list Apparently a new undisclosed feature of the game is when you are moving too fast, the nearby pokemon list is blank. My kids can't play while i am driving around town doing errands, even when they click I am a passenger. Can't wait until Sun and Moon come out and we have a better Pokemon game to play

Loving the game...but They need to release the 6 pokemon not available yet. Mew, Mewtwo, ditto etc. Also whats up with have 4 pokemon only available in centern countries. Now u sit in SA and u cant get 10 pokemon at the moment. I am almost done just need 4 more that is available here. Release all pokemon in all contries. NOT EVERY ONE HAS MONEY TO TRAVEL THE WORLD.
Good but hard to catch new pokemon I like playing the app but I can never really seem to get new pokemon... I was just wondering how come it isn't possible to be able to trade pokemon with another player who is on the same team as you... they might find pokemon you need and vice versa and it would be great to add that if possible. Otherwise, love to play especially on my way to my many doctor appts... my friends all play to.

Fun but has issues Too much battery draw and takes up more space on my phone than all other apps combined. Has to be reset a lot as GPS location is lost and refound constantly. All updates have made the game less and less fun. Takes a lot of time to be competitive with other players. But it still is fun to play when I can, just not as much when it first came out.

Need to start asking people what they want I really don't know why they have not looked at the gba pokemon games as picked some stuff from them like trading and fighting other players and add nore pokemon would bring back a lot of people to the game.. I think there is a lot u can do with pokemon go and I think u are not asking people what they would like in the game as u should be... please start asking as u will have a lot more people back and playing the game for years to come
Good game, mostly. I love this game! It gets me out and about so much! The only thing I want added is that you can send battle requests. Edit note: it would be better that your incense only went down of you are playing it. Also I uninstalled a app that I REALLY liked because of a update that changed nothing. And finally, BRING OUT 2nd GEN ALREADY!
Potential for greatness Pokemon GO is easily one of the only games on the app store that I have put countless hours in. I really do want to say that it is a perfect game but so many things could be changed or updated. Its nearly impossible to find pokemon in the "nearby" section due to the foot step function being removed. No one is allowed to use third party apps anymore that help with tracking as they have been banned by Niantic. Drains battery like no tomorrow and has random FPS drops. Great game but could be much better.
Blast From the Past This game is great to relive a piece of your childhoo, because at one point most of us wanted to become pokemon masters. My biggest complaint is there is no way to track the pokemon. You have to wander around town and hope you are lucky. It would be near if we could eventually battle other trainers outside of gyms.
Still fun but sucks living in rural area. I still play unlike a few people that I know because it's still fun to me. My only problem is because I live in a very rural area I don't find much except for the same few Pokémon. I'm still gonna play because I like leveling up and catching Pokémon, even if I have caught them multiple times before. I think the Halloween update was a great step in the right direction even though I have only caught 2 of the Pokémon that we were supposed to be able to catch.
Great game This game is really fun but you guys aren't adding anything and so many people stopped playing because of how boring it is already. Please Niantic please put in more updates all my friends stopped playing it too and only a couple kids at My school play before it used to be everyone. So please add a better tracker with Google maps with it to show you where to go that would be great. Thank You
Interrupts music This game is super fun however since the newest update, the game will stop Spotify each time the game is put on the screen, it used to only do that when the game was starting up but now it's ever single time I bring the game up, it is super annoying! And I can't listen to any hockey games on nhl.tv app anymore as the game closes that app each time! Please fix this and the game will be great! On a s7 edge
GPS no longer tracks Since the last update, I can no longer play because the GPS will no longer lock onto my position. My GPS still works fine for my navigation app, just not for this game. It will pick up my location about once every five minutes, then I get the 'GPS signal not found' message. Five minutes later it hits again (but won't move with me) just frozen where I was when it hit. The game has become unplayable for me. Let me reiterate that my GPS works fine and tracks fine in my navigation app.
Still not any better than when I last rated... If you're looking to hunt pokemon and catch them all, download an emulator and a game boy game. This was an amazing game for one week. Then the ability to track pokemon was disabled to make the servers more stable. Then it was an ok game because you could still use an external tracker to find pokemon. The most recent update has completely removed the tracking from the game and has removed the ability for external trackers to work. Way to go Niantic, you've ruined possibly the best game of recent memory.
It's alright Being able to track again would make it more fun. Tracking was removed due to stress on the servers but now that the user count is significantly down from when the game started, I feel it could easily be brought back. Glad they seemed to have lowered distance required for your buddy's candy though. 3k to 0.75k for Vulpix is a huge spike, especially since I caught mine in the first week and haven't seen one since.
Hopefully I'll change this later 0 communication from Niantic. So any issue that happens leaves the players in the dark. Conclusions are met without proper information. This game will die if they don't start talking to their players properly. The game can be fun, but the newest update removed a lot of that fun from it. Don't bother downloading it till they fix a lot of the issues. You are no longer missing anything special.
More generous PokeStops This app has the right idea, but severely lacks in player-aid. I feel that stores and the outskirts of schools and even empty fields should have Pokestops and Gyms. People living in very small towns and in rural areas or even neighborhoods have absolutely no Pokestops for miles, and it's ridiculous. A map update and proper Pokestop Placement should be adressed. Some people like to stay in their neighborhoods.
Improve what needs improvements first The game has definitely lost a lot of steam since it first launched. I have a bunch of friends that have stopped playing and the number one reason still has to do with the tracking system. A walking buddy is nice and all, and changing the text is OK, but, the tracking system really really needs to be fixed. I enjoyed the three step system, when it worked. If you got closer to a mon, it would move up your list and as you approached, the paw prints would go away. Please fix this
Can easily be improved Very good gameplay however it is a bit slow and the AR doesn't work on some devices. The pokéstops are poorly distributed so there is either ten right next to each other or none at all for miles. Also it lacks on a few features. The characters need to be a lot more customisable, there needs to be more types of Pokemon and more various Pokemon need to appear. Also it might be a lot more entertaining if you could battle other players. To sum up, it's very fun but it feels a bit unfinished.
LOVE IT, BUT SUGGESTIONS. Please make it so you get more items from Pokestops, or a daily login reward! You guys should really add a way to send items and Pokémon to other players. Me and my friends really need this! Thanks! Also please add a compass pointing to the pokemon from your locations, with rings showing how far away or something back in so you can track down the Pokémon down instead of wandering around, hoping you come across it, please! Thank you, bye!
Eh.. It's a good game to get out and expertise and meet new people but I wish there was a daily login bonus like most games have. You run out of Pokéballs way to fast epically if a pokestop isn't within walking distance to you. A daily login bonus with Pokéballs would be awesome! Leveled up to 22 and didn't receive any bonuses
How is this pokémon?! Watch the anime pokémon go developers, please. I loved pokémon and I still do. Except when it's NOT pokémon. Catching pokemon with plain pokeballs? No attacking the pokemon first? Gym battles have no taking turns like every pokémon game there is? Transfering pokemon to get candies so you can evolve them?! Even pokémon don't have levels. Only CP which makes no sense. I'll give it 2 stars.. nvm I'll give it 1 star. Make pokemon great... again!
Hatching eggs I doubt this will get seen and taken into consideration , but it would be a good idea to allow eggs to hatch while driving, but somehow make the km counter require a longer distance while above a certain speed. My job is a 12 hour a day 5 day a week job and I never have time to go for walks to hatch eggs. I enjoy this game very much and this would help me , and alot of people who work a lot of hours ,out a lot. Please make this happen!
Frostbite? No thank you. Now that it's almost winter, the brilliant minds at Niantic have completely removed any and all methods to track/locate Pokémon. Over the summer each update further restricted this ability until completely eliminating it in the past weeks. So, unfortunately, it was fun while it lasted but I will NOT aimlessly wander around through wind, snow, and cold hoping to MAYBE come across a Pokémon. As with most other apps, Niantic took an excellent game that was fun for all and ruined it. Thanks for the memories.
Niantic keeps making consistent improvements. I just hope they keep some of the candy(cough buddies) modifiers past Halloween. It makes getting the evolutions for Pokemon that just don't show up in your neighborhood much more feasible for people who you know, work. Keep going in this direction Niantic
Great, however... It was attractive and appealing at first, but after some time, it got boring with no new Pokémons added. It would be great if Niantic could bring in some other generations. Also, catching new Pokémons are extremely hard, especially when your level is high. Some Pokémons, although they have low CP and are quite common, take about 5 Pokéballs to catch. Loved the interact-with-real-world theme. It is great for exercise, as it pulls many people from their houses to the streets to catch Pokémon. 5/7
Great Games The game is great. I have a lot of fun playing. Would have given a 5 star but after months i found it really repetitive and spent more time catching the same pokemon over and over and i know that isn't a bad thing but when i have 30 pidgeys and 40 ratata then it is a problem. I think the pokemon need to be better spawned. Also the pokestops don't give out much either. Hopefully this games future updates will make it worth playing again.
Great game! I love this game it is highly addictive. It is a great way to spend time as a family, it's fun, good way to get exercise, meet new people, etc. I gave 3 stars because there are a few bugs that need a lot of work. 1 being that some pokestops continuously say "try again later" even if they haven't been used yet. 2 being that the game freezes a lot. 3 being the constant server issues.
Meh, could be better... Idea is great, but lack of major things. Catching Pokemon by just non-stop throwing a ball gets boring really fast and it misses the fight before catching it. This app had promissed a lot yet features are removed instead of polished and improved. Tracking system is pointless. Game how to is non-existant therefore you "guess" how things work. Some features are too punishing instead of rewarding. Still no trading of Pokemon. Constantly seeing the same Pokemon and some exotic once are nowhere to be found.
Canada gets the updates after US This game is groundbreaking. It took the amazing concept of Ingress and added a fun, family friendly Pokemon theme to it. The implementation has been a little troubled, of course, but the people who whine about this game are likely the same kind of people who whine about anything they can. I'm interested to see where this game goes in the future years. My only complaint keeping this from being a perfect 5 star rating is, obviously, that the game requires a data connection to enjoy properly.
So cooooooool#Anti buggy I love this game. I have finnaly became level 18 and I cant wait for a rarer pokemon. Like charzard or somthing. I only have one problem. I know the game creators are doing there best but AR MODE does not work for me. If they could fix this , THAT WOULD BE AMAZING. I MEAN THE FACT OF SEEING POKEMON IN THE REAL WORLD IS JUST SOOOO COOL!!! Also, when ever im walikng or even sitting it tells me im going to fast and tells me im driving. Omg. I also love the new buddy system. Charmander and me walking around.
My favorite addiction Ever since the launch & release I remain intrigued, and fully captivated by this game. The concept in which was once a childhood necessity of mine & others whilst growing up, now brought back to be reborn in a way that brings Pokémon & gaming to a whole different level. No way a parent could ever get upset with their kids because they sit around all day playing video games if they're out & actually needing to be active in order to play it. Great fitness wise & mentally stimulating in a fun way. A+++
Amazing Game! Highly recommend to those who have played and loved all Pokémon games. Even if you haven't played the other games this is a must have mobile game. This is by far the number one game I have on my phone. Other than a few minor bugs, the game works great. Things I would like to see in future updates are the ability to trade pokemon with other trainers and the ability to battle other trainers individually like in other Pokémon games.
Great!!! But..... Fantastic game! It has groundbreaking gameplay features, incredible social aspects...but the game seems far from finished. Once you hit level 22 leveling becomes almost pointless. I have walked for literal hours catching pokemon at a lower rate due to level scaling, passing countless poke stops, luring pokemon, evolving 60 pokemon with a lucky egg, and using hundreds of pokeballs and I am only 45000xp / 100000 to level 23. XP scaling needs to be fixed or it's just another pay to win.
Fix the new update! I enjoy the game, I have enough candies to evolve 2/3 Pokemon, and with the new Halloween event I can get the candy I need for my last Pokemon! But this new update dose not allow me to play my music while opening the app! And now my go plus won't stay connected if I minimize the game! Come guys fix this game because you are loosing the fan base players!
Hard to get new pokemon I live in a more residential area where there are houses and that's. I have 2 pokestops where I am which is ok but the only kinds of POKEMON I can find are rattatas, pidgys and zubats! This makes finding different pokemon much more of a challenge. Please niantic. Add more pokemon in an area like mine and not in a place like the city! P.s: love the game! Not completely though.
Love it!! FIX THE TRACKER Just some thoughts but I was thinking if it would be cool if in the shop you can buy the Pokémon candy. Also little easy to track Pokémon so I wouldn't keep trying to go left and right to find the one I need. Other than that the app really makes me walk and go outside. The idea is great and now I can lean about all the Pokémon and what it is.
The game is pretty good but... First of all, no root. We root because of freedom. Removal of ads, backup, etc. Not to cheat. Second, give us a proper tracker. Previously, 3rd party apps were able to do so. With outrageous ranges so I don't understand why you guys can't. Third, give us more activities. Once we reach a high level, what are we supposed to do? Grind again for what? Give us trading, PvP and a revamped battle mechanics.
Audio fix Before the newest update you were able to have music or a podcast playing in the backgroud while playing pokemon go. With the new update pokemon go app shuts off any audio playing in the backgroud. I usually listened to news in the morning while catching pokemon and now that pokemon go turns off audio from other apps, like news, i rather liaten to the newa then play. So it would be nice for the programs to undo what they did to disabling background audio.
