20 Things Only Pokémon GO Fans Will Understand

8. Aiming Your Phone At Random Passers-By In An Attempt To Catch Something

Here's a battery-saving tip; turn off the AR feature when catching Pokémon. By asking your phone not to switch to the camera every time, you'll save a ton of battery as a stock 3D background loads instead.

And why? Because having the live camera on means Pokémon can move and encircle you, moving so the only way to keep them in view is to line your phone up with a random passer-by.

Granted, in today's world we're all very receptive to pranks and the idea of being on film 24/7, but be prepared for some awkward looks as you madly scarper after a wayward Zapdos that looks to have landed on someone's shoulder.
