The Pokemon GO craze isn’t just boosting Nintendo’s stock and revenues but has also seen a massive rise in Pokemon related music on Spotify.

The free-to-play game features all your favourite Pokemons such as Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle. For example, when you capture 25 Rattata’s, you receive something called “Candy” for that specific type of Pokemon (this applies for every Pokemon). Even graveyards and abandoned buildings have made the list of places of interest for Glaswegian Pokemon GO players, but please do not forget to stay safe, Poke-friends.
Loyal “Pokemon” players on various game consoles may be familiar with the different factors that affect a Pokemon’s fighting ability. If the Pokemon is highlighted, which happens if you have collected enough sweets, just tap it and it will evolve into a new Pokemon. Players build their collections, make their Pokemon more powerful and do battle with those held by other players.
This will prompt them to appear again, and again, and again, and on the fifth time Pikachu should appear. One problem, game players are so focused, they’re not paying attention to anything else, walking into people, even getting into accidents. Overwhelmingly, people are using Pokemon GO as a chance to do better things for themselves, their friends, and the world around them through exercise, interaction, education, and financial support.
Since Pokemon GO debuted in the USA last week, there have been reports of people trespassing to find Pokemon, using the game to commit armed robberies and even stumbling across a body in a river while playing the game, which sends players out into the real world in search of virtual creatures. Analyse what type of Pokemons are common in your area and try catching as many of them as possible. As stated before, evolving Pokemon will reward you with 500 XP. Makes sense, really. You’ll find Magikarp and tons his fishy pals here.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I am one of those pathetic grown men who need to play this game and catch all the moments of pure nostalgia I can before REAL old age sets in.
Professor Oak should probably think about applying at Glasgow Uni – their campus is absolutely teeming with Pokemon.
As of Monday evening, the post was retweeted dozens of times. So yes you’ll save sweets, but if you want to battle with it, you’ll probably need more stardust.
