When the Pokemon Go game went viral over the past week, millions of players gave the game’s developer access to a great deal of data.
Another huge departure comes in the form of Pokemon Go’s battle mechanics.
Since its launch last week, “Pokemon Go” has become an extraordinary phenomenon.

Moreover, the app is soon expected to have more users than Twitter on Android. The app also requires constant Global Positioning System access, and it uses a lot of data. “This works with you using your device as a viewer to “see” the creature near you by looking at an image from the camera with the creature superimposed on it”.
