What is Pokémon Go

 

In case that you know nothing about the game except its name, let's begin with a little introduction about the game. Although it seems like that the Poké-fever only starts in a few weeks, Pokémon actually has been well-known in video games, movies, comic books for almost twenty years. In fact, Pokémon Go contains the basic features of previous Pokémon games: capturing Pokémon, battling at Gyms, evolving creatures, etc.

 

The innovation of Pokémon Go lies in that combined with AR technology and GPS software, it allows players to do all Pokémon capturing in the real world. The game uses the camera of the mobile devices to record the environment surrounding the players; therefore, the main area of the game is actually a brightly-animated version of Google Maps of the players' surroundings. As the players walk, their avatars move, too. The Pokémon could appear in a school, church, mall, so the players have to go out and catch the Pokémon. Sound like a lot of fun, right? Now Follow the below steps to start Pokémon Go on your iPhone.

How to Delete Pokémon Go on iPhone

 

This is a great game and someone might find themselves addicted to the game. It is not news anymore that people fall down to capture a Pokémon. As a result, some players are thinking about deleting the game to get out of the crazy searching of Pokémon.

Delete Pokemon

 

You can simply delete the app on your iPhone, which allows you to get back to the game and pick up where you left off later with your Pokémon account. Or if you have done with Pokécraze, you can just delete your account by filling up a simple form on Niantic's website.

 

Log in the Niantic's website with your Google account and submit a specific request to delete your account data. Then you will need to provide your Pokémon nickname and tick yes for four questions. After you have deleted the account, remove the Pokémon Go app from your iPhone.

 

With AR technology, Pokémon Go brings a new experience to video game players. Video games are no longer just about clicking the mouse or keyboard, but could mean to go outside and explore the environment that you are living in. However, there is one thing that Pokémon Go shares in common with traditional video games, which is that players can get happy with the game, but should never get addicted to the game.
