What Parents Need to Know About Pokémon GO
Published 28th September 2021
A free online safety guide on Pokémon GO.
Pokémon GO has been among the world’s most popular mobile games since its spectacular release in 2016. It's recently enjoyed a resurgence, thanks partly to people combining entertainment and exercise during lockdown. In Pokémon GO – like the Pokémon TV show, trading card series and other video games – players capture, train and battle with their Pokémon creatures: physically exploring locations while using augmented reality via their phone’s screen. The game generally provides a positive experience, but there are still some safety concerns to consider.
In the guide, you'll find tips on a number of potential risks such as environmental hazards, strangers and data collection.
