Pokemon Map

Subject area

Website for help with the game Pokemon GO. This is a game about catching Pokemon.

The essence of the game is that Pokemon periodically appear on the map for a certain period of time. Each player can catch a Pokemon and add to their personal collection.

There can be several individuals of the same Pokemon on the map at once: for example, 3 Bulbasaur. Each individual can be caught by several players at once. If a player catches an individual Pokémon, it disappears for him, but remains for others.

The game has an evolution mechanic. Pokémon of one species can "evolve" into another. So, for example, Bulbasaur turns into Ivysaur, which turns into Venusaur.
