The game itself contains a reminder to players to be mindful of their surroundings while playing the game.
The Pokémon Company president Tsunekazu Ishihara said in an interview with Nikkei Asia Review that The Pokémon Company and Nintendo are looking into developing a device that will allow the Pokémon Go smartphone game to be played more safely.
The “Pokémon GO Plus” accessory, a wristband that allows players to capture nearby Pokémon without relying on their phones, shipped on September 16.
To avoid the danger, we also released “Pokémon Go Plus,” the smartphone-linked wearable device, so that “Pokémon Go” players do not have to always be looking down at their smartphone screens.
