SUMMARY
This mobile game allows us to step into the shoes of a Pokémon trainer in everyday life. The goal is, of course, to capture all the Pokémon. The player controls a (customisable) avatar on a map using the player's geolocation: their real geographical coordinates are recorded from their smartphone. They must therefore physically move around with their phone to move around in the game. Players can view their surroundings from a distance using a summary map of the area, which displays the various elements of the game within reach: Pokémon to capture, PokéStops (where they can collect Poké Balls, potions and eggs for free) and arenas (for battles).

If a child wants to go out to catch Pokémon, they should be accompanied by a responsible adult. The content of the game itself is not a problem. It is faithful to the Pokémon universe and is therefore perfectly suited to a young audience. Safety guidelines must be followed, such as not playing while driving and not crossing the road while looking at your phone. Obviously, the law must be respected, and players must not enter private property, for example. The game offers in-app purchases, so be careful to supervise consumption.
