Pokémon Go safety tips
Although you have probably been warned countless times regarding safety while playing Pokémon Go, here are a few tips to keep in mind while you’re out and about:
- Do NOT play Pokémon Go while you’re driving. If you know you’re driving past a Pokéstop or Pokémon nest, pull over and do what you need to do.
- Playing Pokémon Go does not excuse you from rules and regulations. Pay attention to the rules of parks, businesses, or any other places you might be hunting.
- Avoid hunting for Pokémon alone, especially at night. Some people have been using the game to take advantage of unsuspecting victims. Instead, grab a friend and look out for one another.
