Bottom Line

Pokémon Go is an augmented reality game where the Pokémon appear on the screen as if they were in the same real-life location as the player. This means there is some risk of your child wandering into dangerous surroundings and scenarios while playing this game. For this reason, Pokémon Go should not be used by children under 15 without their parents' knowledge.

Talking to Your Children

Before letting your child use Pokémon Go, you should discuss with them the importance of being aware of your surroundings while playing and make sure they know what kinds of places to avoid.
