But now, the deputy chief of Cairo’s Al-Azhar, the most important scholarly institution of Sunni Islam, has declared Pokemon Go to be as illicit as alcohol.

Managing Editor I ‘ll admit I don’t know much about the whole Pokemon GO craze, despite the fact my son, Sam, has subjected me to watching at least 650 episodes of the Japanese anime program over the years. Yea, it is still pretty good, though. Here is a list of factors that increases the probability of you finding one of them in your nearby area!
To catch a Pokemon, you must first figure out where the heck it’s hiding. Don’t go jumping into a neighbor’s yard. The same also applies in catching Pokemons, so it is advisable to use a lure or incense during the said period to get double points. Then you swipe to throw a red-and-white Pokeball (a round cage for the Pokemon) at the animal, and if it hits, you’ve caught it. Pro tip: You don’t physically need to enter a building marked as Pokestop. If there are no pugmarks under a Pokemon, stay right there, it’ll appear within moments. Tap on a Pokemon, and you’ll zoom in to your immediate location, as shown by your device’s rear camera.
Another interesting practice is in the central Eskişehir province, as a local youth center offers free water and tea to those who come to the center to find a Pokemon.
The Istanbul-based daily also cites a more benign notice from Turkey’s health ministry, which advised Pokemon GO players to not use the app in the middle of the day: “We don’t recommend searching for Pokémon between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. when the sun’s rays hit at a direct angle”. But even the eggs that hatch within a couple of kilometers are worth hatching as they get you Pokemon like Clefairies, Charmanders, Pikachus, etc.
Pokemon gyms are places dotted on the map where you can go to battle and train your Pokemon once you have reached a level five. This Gesture can be happy or angry, throw some Razz Berry, and wait for the Pokemon to Make the Gesture/Emotion.
Power up: Powering up a Pokemon requires certain amount of Stardust and sweets. Flying creatures like Zubat are especially tricky, because they’ll vary their distance while on screen.
Try to catch ’em all, but do so safely. And then you say, “hold on”, and you catch the Shellder even though you’re an adult.
Whatever bonus you’re going for, keep in mind to tap and hold on the Pokeball to start the ring cycle so that you can wait to toss your ball until the ring is at the correct point. “Do you get a prize?” And you want the circle to be as smallest as it can be.
To get the Great 50XP bonus, you want to catch the Pokemon when the circle is exactly halfway: I’ve only gotten this bonus once or twice, because it requires insane timing. Then you need to activate eggs by putting them into an egg incubator either get as a level-up bonus or bought from the in-game shop.
However, a higher trainer level will also allow gamers to catch more powerful and stronger Pokemon characters. I find this method pretty hard to achieve regularly, so I often do an alternate method: Instead of curving, then tossing, I put the side of my thumb on the screen and throw – the contact patch makes the game think I’m spinning the ball before throwing. Check your Pokemon list, and search by “recent” – you’ll see any recent additions there.

But once I’ve clicked on it and sent a few balls its way, I’m dedicated to the cause, and I will exhaust my entire store of Pokeballs trying to catch it. Here are a few gaming tips for newbies who are looking to level up faster in the game.
