Preliminary information

Before going into the details of this guide and explaining how to access Pokémon GO , let me tell you in detail what are the access methods to log in to the famous smartphone game based on virtual reality.

In order to play Pokémon GO, an account is required, which can be created for free in different ways.

• Pokémon Trainer Club Account: Create an account using your email address and choosing a unique username. In addition to playing Pokémon GO, it allows you to log into the official Pokémon website  and Pokémon Global Link  and customize your account, earn Trainer Tokens and trade them for cool items, take part in minigames, and more.
• Google Account: Allows you to log in exclusively to Pokémon GO. This option is not available to players under the age of 13.
• Facebook account: Using your Facebook account,  you can create an account on Pokémon GO. As well as the Google account, it allows you to log in quickly without a username and password and is available for players aged 13 and older.
• Niantic Kids Account: This is the registration and login option for parents who want to monitor their children’s gaming activity. You are required to enter your credit card details in order to verify the identity of the parent.

It will be useful to know that if you have created a Pokémon Trainer Club account, you can subsequently associate both your Facebook account and your Google account with it (as long as you respect the age limits). By doing so, you will be able to enjoy all the benefits of the Trainer Club and log in to Pokémon GO easily without entering your login details.
