'Pokemon Go' Tricks, Tips: How To Make Pins, DownVote, UpVote In iOS, PC App Poke Radar

By

"Pokemon Go's" newly launched app Poke Radar aims to help players track the next Pokémon by locating them on an actual real-life map. However, Poke Radar is not related to the developers of "Pokemon Go" and has no means to access and determine a "Pokémon Go" player's geophysical location.

"Pokemon Go" trainers can view all nearby Pokémon creatures using the Poke Radar easily. The map shows "Pokemon Go" creatures that have been discovered by all trainers in the area, along with the times of the day they were found.

To input a pin, "Pokemon Go" players should make sure that they are standing as close as possible to the Pokémon's exact location where it was sighted. Then, players can simply press the pin button on their screen. A "Pokemon Go" player's name will be affixed to the helpful pins spread throughout the map, which may help build the player's reputation in the game, or locally in the "Pokemon Go" community.

The Poke Radar developers noted that there might be instances that false pins will be seen on the map because of game trolls. To remove such pins, "Pokemon Go" players have the option of downvoting those kind of submissions to remove them.

In contrast, helpful and reliable pins can be upvoted for the "Pokemon Go" player to receive display priority on the map, get more help, and promote unity and compassion in the community. However, Poke Radar is only available on IOS devices.

Poke Radar is just a platform that displays data after "Pokémon Go" players input them to the app. "Pokemon Go" players may access Poke Radar to view the latest sightings and catches of other "Pokémon Go" trainers that are pinned to the player's recent location, Thrillist reported.

"Pokemon Go" pins are not generated automatically; they are only generated when another "Pokemon Go" trainer inputs his own location into the app.

"Pokemon Go" players with Android devices may access the Poke Radar desktop version in the meantime, while the developers has promised that an Android version of the app is under way, Uproxx reported. Watch Poke Radar instructional video here.
