How to Play Pokémon GO on PC

In this simple post you will learn how to download and install Pokémon GO on PC without many detours and with everything you need to do it yourself.

The definitive Pokémon game

Pokémon GO is a free augmented reality video game that sets out to explore real territory in search of virtual pets. It was developed by Niantic in 2016 and currently has a huge mass of players worldwide.

The idea is to capture Pokémon that are hidden in different locations, which we will have to visit in reality since the game works by location. All the streets in the real world are represented on the map. And Pokestops have been included to see museums, artistic installations, monuments or historical places.

Once we are in the right place, we will turn on our camera and we will be able to see the pet through augmented reality, which will fight us before we can acquire it with the Pokeball.

The virtual sites are the Pokegyms, where the different trainers meet to fight, or acquire new Pokémon. These gyms are located at important points in the city that are points of interest on the map, and even works of art.

Although the game is free, it includes microtransactions through pokecoins that can be acquired by playing or buying. But we can also evolve our Pokémon through candies by accumulating a specific number of these, and even level them up thanks to stardust .

The fever for this game is such that accessories such as the Pokémon GO Plus or the Pokeball Plus have even been created. Able to detect where the hidden Pokémon are and even catch them.
