The Pokemon Go beta has started and there are already some promising screenshots of the gameplay!
The basic idea of Pokemon Go – Walk around the world with your phone, look for a Pokemon and catch it!
For us in Germany, the beta of the long-awaited mobile Pokemon game has unfortunately not yet started, but we can already get an idea of what will come our way with the help of the screenshots.
Gameplay, different Pokemon and Pokemon battles
These screenshots show you all the important features of Pokemon Go, from character customization to the map overview. You’ll also see what it’s like when you encounter a wild Pokemon and how the in-app shop is set up.
You can navigate the gallery with the arrow keys!
Additionally, the developers of Pokemon Go shared more information about what players can expect from the app. There will be more than 100 Pokemon that players can catch. Your phone will vibrate when you walk through the “real world” and Pokemon are hiding nearby. You can then catch these Pokemon by throwing a Pokeball with your phone’s touchscreen.
This is how battles are fought in Pokemon Go!
The Pokemon you catch can be used to gain control over a gym. You not only use your Pokemon’s attacks to battle, but you can also dodge opposing attacks by swiping left or right. Gyms are player-controlled, and you can take them over by reducing the gym’s prestige to 0. After that, the gym belongs to you, and you can select one of your Pokemon to defend it.
Pokemon Go is set to be released later this year for iOS and Android. It is a free game with in-app purchase options!
