Find Pok�mon in 'Pok�mon GO' With This Realtime Map App


If you've been hunting for Pok�mon in the real world with the new hugely popular app, 'Pok�mon GO' for iOS and Android, you'll know how frustrating it can be to locate the nearby ones around you.
Referred by some as the 'three step bug', sometimes Pok�mon are shown on the nearby map, that simply aren't even there. 

Thanks to Pok�mon GO's API, there are now websites and apps that can help you find the exact locations of the little Pocket Monsters! 

Available on iOS and Android, PokeWhere by Vylar will become your must have Pok�mon GO companion app.

"PokeWhere is a Pokemon finder for the mobile game Pokemon Go that uses the most advanced API to give you the most accurate real time info about the Pokemon near you. The real time info is then displayed to you on the map with the exact locations of the Pokemon that have spawned near you. With PokeWhere you will never miss a beat and catch all the Pokemons.
PokeWhere is very simple to use all you have to do is press the my location button, which will bring you to where you are on the map and the Pokemons around you will show up, that's all. It will refresh as you walk. Now all you have to do now is start catching them all, it is as simple as that!" 

This app does work! It's NOT some user submitted app and because PokeWhere is in real-time, you'll know that the Pok�mon are actually there to be caught! You can even move the map around, re-pin, and do some location scouting. 

While this app is a must have for all Pok�mon Trainers, unfortunately it doesn't have the ability to search for particular Pok�mon and show you there closest location. That would be a great useful feature that hopefully someone can create. But in the meantime, download PokeWhere and find the Pok�mon near you! 

> PokeWhere is FREE to download - available for iPhone and Android phones. 

UPDATE: The company behind the game, Niantic, has disabled the ability for these live radar trackers to work. Unfortunately this app and others alike, do not work anymore.

How To Evolve Pokemon in 'Pokemon GO' on iOS and Android


To evolve a Pokemon in 'Pokemon Go' you need a certain amount of 'Candy' for that particular Pokemon. You can obtain more candy by catching the same Pokemon (or one of its other evolutions) multiple times. When you have enough candy, tap the "evolve" button. 


'Pok�mon GO' Available In App Store First Look and Walkthrough

Pok�mon GO, the much anticipated virtual reality GPS game by Niantic, Inc. is now available to download in select countries (including; Australia and New Zealand) from the App Store and Google Play Store! U.S. Players, hang on!

Pok�mon GO is the game that'll actually make you get up and move around, if you want to play. I know, doesn't really sound like their target audience, am I right? The game uses your GPS location to track your position and place certain Pok�mon and other locations that you'll be familiar with from the games the TV series; like a Pok� Gym or Pok� Shop, around you in various nearby locations.

In the game, you'll be able to catch Pok�mon, evolve Pok�mon, hatch eggs, take on Gym battles, and much more...

Here is a quick first look walk-through of setting up 'Pok�mon GO' for the first time! 


The first thing you'll be presented with is a sign up page! The only way you can sign up is with a Google account.

Next, the game tells you to "...be alert at all times." And to be aware of your surroundings. You know, because you'll never know where they'll place that rare Pok�mon ...it could be in your neighbors house, in the middle of the ocean, or some other location that you'd need to trespass on.

Then you are presented with the almighty Terms and Conditions! There is also a little check box asking permission to send you emails about the game.

After accepting the Terms and Conditions, the game introduction begins!


We meet Professor Willow, an old guy with really good hair for his age, who tells you that the world is inhabited with creatures known as Pok�mon ...that only your smartphone camera can see. Professor Willow then asks you for your help in his research, but it's really more of a rhetorical question, because you can't say "no!".

Your mission; find and collect Pok�mon from everywhere!


Next up, it's time to create your character! You can choose whether "your style" is either a male or female. Which is lucky, because I am one of those.


Then, it's time to customize your avatar! You can customize your skin, hair, and eye color. Then customize your clothing. While there isn't a lot of item choices, you can pick and choose from a few different color options.


Once done customizing your character, it's time to catch your first Pok�mon! Professor Willow gives you your first lot of Pok� Balls to help you catch one.


Right nearby, luckily there is three Pok�mon to choose from. A Charmander, a Bulbasaur and the best one of course, Squirtle. The game will then ask you to give it permission to access your camera, so it can show you your surroundings through your phones screen. You can switch this off at anytime.


Now it's time to catch your first Pok�mon! Just swipe the Pok� Ball on the screen to your target and wait for the ball to seal the deal.


After catching the Pok�mon you get a few stats.


Now, after catching a Pok�mon, Professor Willow asks you something he really should of asked you a lot earlier - your name. Kind of rude, but anyway. Now you'll go through the painful process of picking a username that hasn't already be taken!


Time to Walk! The game tells you that to move your avatar, you'll need to walk / move around in the real world!


Now is the moment when you realize that this is as far as you can really go with this game, without going for a drive or a long walk...

Well that's the set up process for Pok�mon GO! To play the game you will need to move around a lot! I don't know if this game would be great for kids - while it's great because it make you get up and move, it'll make them go to various locations and they'll either try alone, which you wouldn't want, or nag their parents to take them for a drive to who knows where! For adults who grew up with the original Pok�mon games and TV series - you can now quit your job and travel the world to become that Pok�Master that you've always dreamed of becoming!

Have you downloaded the game, yet? Let me know what you think of Pok�mon GO, in the comments!

Pok�mon GO is available to download for FREE (with in-app purchases available) from the App Store.

An advent calendar is a countdown calendar with doors that you open - one-each-day. Most commonly, physical advent calendars features a gift, mostly chocolate, inside. In an iOS modern fashion - 25 Days of Christmas - features digital gifts.

In 25 Days of Christmas, you get a quick mini-game to play each day and a special 'gift', which seems to basically be an advertisement for an app that's available for free on the App Store.

The simple mini-games are anything Christmas themed from snowball fights with elves, to breaking and eating a Christmas cookie, to decorating Christmas trees.

Pop Dash - Music Runner Combines Love of Pop Music & Running Games - iOS


Pop Dash - Music Runner by Maximum Play, combines your love of pop music and playing games on your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad.

Pop Dash - Music Runner dives into the pop-culture world with wild themed levels in this running game. The game is divided into levels - so while you can run endlessly, you are aiming for three stars to achieve by meeting different level objectives on each level.

While playing the game - music plays that you can groove too by pop artists like; Lindsey Stirling, Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, Jessie J, Wiz Khalifa, Becky G, Echosmith, DVBBS, Art vs Science, MARRS, Jo Li, Betty Who, and more...

The gameplay also combines swiping in all directions and a bit of a Guitar Hero feel with buttons on the road to hit with certain actions - however the buttons don't effect the music.

Playing is limited by energy that re-charges over time. The energy count is 5 (plays). Energy can be re-charged using Crystals - the rarer in-game currency.

Players can purchase, using the in-game coins, different players and costumes. Players can also choose to play as American violinist, dancer, performance artist, singer and composer, Lindsey Stirling!

From the musical pop-culture world themes and graphics, to the layback casual gameplay feel, and the pop background music, Pop Dash - Music Runner is a great game to play for some fun and to just chill too.
