Pokemon Go has been unquestionably the biggest hit game at present. The game has now gathered millions of downloads from both Play Store and App Store. But after the game's release, some players are involved in cases of getting robbed or walking into unsafe neighborhoods which is quite alarming. If you have safety concerns, there is a trick to play Pokemon Go safely on your home. All you need is a Windows computer.
This might be a great idea to start with. But if you really want to do it, you might heed this warning first. Playing Pokemon Go on your desktop without moving around physically, engages you to the GPS spoofing method. This is technically against to the Terms of Service of the developers and could possibly get you banned from the game. According to Make Use Of, setting up the home-based Pokemon Go needs a personal computer and a simulation app known as BlueStacks.
BlueStacks is an app that simulates an Android-based device on your Windows PC, which enables you to play mobile games on your own desktop. For a start, download and install the simulation app. Even though Pokemon Go uses GPS data from Google Maps, it won't be much of a problem. BlueStacks includes a spoofing tool that can alter your location. After you gave the simulation app access to Google Play, click the location icon in the left hand menu. Search for a postal code and double-click to mark a point on the map. Once you're done, click the play button.
