Reader Discussion: What Are Your Impressions Of Pokémon Go So Far?
Pokémon Go, the augmented reality mobile game that allows you to capture pokémon with your phone, officially released on iOS and Android in regions such as the United States and Australia this past week. If you live in one of these areas and downloaded the app, what have been your first impressions of the game so far?
Pokémon Go is making a big impact on the gaming world right now, but critic reception has been mixed. Have the server issues disrupted your enjoyment of the game, or are you having fun regardless? Do you find the concept of augmented reality gimmicky, or is there a future for it?
Check out our Test Chamber where we roam outside of the Game Informer offices in search of capturing these little critters, and find out how you can obtain Pikachu as your starter pokémon by watching this video. You can also check out editor Dan Tack's tips on how to play.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
