This set-up makes your rig the center of the Pokémon universe, and handily circumvents the battery life issues that have been affecting the progress of certain players. The game relies on the player moving around to find new Pokémon, so the trainer then needs to root the emulated device and install an app that’s capable of spoofing their GPS location. Of course, simply downloading an emulator and Pokémon Go itself isn’t enough to make the game playable on your PC. YouTube user Travis D came up with this method, and he uses BlueStacks, although a host of alternatives are available. You can play Pokémon Go on your computer, but first you’ll need to set about installing an Android emulator. Given that the game revolves around the idea of moving around in physical space, that’s not so easy - but one committed fan has come up with a workaround. Pokémon Go is already a huge hit, but there are some would-be trainers who would prefer to assemble their team from the comfort of their home.
