Unlimited Data Plan

This is NOT a requirement, it is, however, recommended since Pokemon GO has a very high data usage.

Wi-Fi can work but is very limited, since you will have to walk around to play the game effectively.

Some players have turned to using Hot Spots, which can work but often times drop connection causing issues with the app itself.

These will need to be enabled and functioning correctly. This is the core of the app and without these services, the app will not work.

Players should make that their Google Maps is Updated
