Pokemon Go: Download In Nigeria & Checkout How To Play It + PokeStops, PokeGyms

Hello guys, I know you might have heard of Pokemon Go , the virtual reality game that has gone viral in the internet recently. Hmmmm, if you haven't heard it, then you might be probably living out of this planet as the game has become popular in such a way that it's surpassing candy crush.

Unfortunately, it is more popular in Europe and America but here in Nigeria, because it has not been officially made available for Nigerians to download and use, many people are still not aware of it. Anyway, that shouldn't be an issue because in this blog, we try to make the impossible to be possible. We try to enter a "no go area" so i will be sharing how you can download the Pokemon Go app in Nigeria and also quickly show you how to play the game and where to "find the Pokemons around you in Nigeria"


HOW TO PLAY POKEMON GO GAME

First Step

First of all, you need to download the app. Knowing that it is not officially available in Nigeria, I have two methods that you can use to download it
First method is by using a VPN app like Netify, change your country to USA or England, then clear your Google playstore cache memory and search for Pokemon. Then, download it.
The second method is downloading from a third party app store like APKMirror. So Download Pokemon Go Game Apk Here for Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Egypt and some other African nations

Second Step
After downloading and installation of the app, launch it and sign in using your google account (gmail). Then, there is option to customize your electronic avatar. You can choose your gender, eye color, hair color, shirt, hat, pants, shoes, and the style of your backpack. Once you finish that, enable your phone GPS because it won't work without GPS features. you'll get into the main area of the game which is The Pokémon Go map.
The game is really an addictive game that can make you walk very far (at times more than 2km) in search of Pokemon to catch.

The game interface uses an animated google map to display all the creatures, roads, places, rivers, house, bus stops and in fact virtually everything in your street. You'll see (unmarked) roads, rustling grass (marking Pokémon in the area), and local landmarks disguised as PokéStops and Pokémon Gyms. Your avatar moves together with you as you move in the real world. Your Phone will vibrate immediately a Pokemon pops up on the map. The next thing you should do is to tap on it and try to capture them.

This continues as you walk in search of new Pokemons in your street. Pokemons in the Riverside are synonymous to aquatic creatures and those in the bush also carries the nature of bush animals. It continues like that. You won't even know when you have walked a long distance. It's becoming crazy in the USA.


WHERE CAN I FIND POKEMONS IN NIGERIA?
So far so good, Pokemons has being sighted in many locations in Lagos and Abuja. A friend of mine also said he caught some Pokemons in Enugu. So you can try it in your street and give us your report and how you feel playing the addictive game.

According to a user of Pokemon who recently commented on one of the online platforms on Pokemon in Nigeria
"Depends on what you’re doing in the game, e.g you can drive to a pokestop to get pokeballs, find common pokemons around or any of the games special stuff, however to hatch your own special pokemon you need to walk depending on the kind of Pokemon..weak pokemons you walk up to 2km, stronger pokemons you may walk up to 10km, your phone’s GPS can tell if your in a car or bike so it won’t count for you in-game"

He continued...
"Not every really needs to walk in pokemon go, there are 3 teams, with 3 different specialties, Team Blue are specialists in pokemon evolution, Team Red are specialists in Strength, battles, conquering gyms, team yellow are specialists in hatching special pokemon eggs, this entails walking for a distance of 2km to 10km depending on how strong the pokemon you are about to hatch."

But the funniest thing that happened in Nigeria today was one babe playing Pokemon and searching for Pokemons in a Keke. She actually found one and ask the Keke Man to stop and gave him N500 for a N20 naira ride and she didn’t ask for balance. That's how far Pokemon can take you once you start playing.

As for me, am taking my time as it wanted to get into me but i recovered myself after tracking for some long distance and later used a car 🚗 in search of Pokemons. I must confess it's really nice game that will not only entertain you but will make you know more about your vicinity, it is also the a good way to walk out and loose weight. It will make you treck to places you wouldn't have trekked in normal circumstances.

    1. You might need to switch On your data connection as well. Also make sure you are walking. Your avatar moves as u move and you see everything in a virtual world via ur phone. That's why the GPS and data is important
