Don’t worry, it’s really easy. Taking pics with Pokemon GO won’t be a problem. As long as you can play Pokemon GO, you can totally take screenshots with it. These pics include the augmented-reality Pokemon overlay, but won’t muddle your perfectly-framed photo with HUD-elements or any of that other garbage. This is all about taking pictures with Pokemon in real life, and Pokemon GO gives you that option right away.
Fans are already taking plenty of pics — on a walk, in the alley, or while a pregnant girlfriend is giving birth. Of course i’s a Pidgey. Disturbingly, the number of Pokemon caught while on the toiler is growing daily. Please, if you’re going to play Pokemon GO on the toilet, don’t share your pics with the rest of us. Thanks in advance.
