When you hit level 5 and tap a Pokémon Gym, you'll be asked to pick a team. There are three options - the yellow Team Instinct, the red Team Valour and the blue Team Mystic - but once you've chosen, there's no going back.
Now, there's actually no difference between the teams themselves, but you might want to double check a few things before you sign up.
Firstly, if you want to play Pokémon Go with your mates - with multiplayer components apparently in the pipelines - you might want to be on the same, or an opposing team if you're feeling competitive.
Secondly, you might want to take into consideration the teams that are popular in your local area. You'll probably see that one team is dominating the scene near you, so you might want to join them or try and overtake them by joining one of the underdogs.
2. Know your Pokémon silhouettes
If like us you spent hours as a kid watching the Pokémon anime series and prided yourself in naming the silhouetted Pokémon teased at the start of every ad break, then this will be an easy task for you.
When you take a look at the Pokémon lurking in the surrounding area, Pokémon Go will offer up silhouettes for any Pokémon that you haven't yet bopped with a Pokéball. After something specific? You'd do well to learn its silhouette before you go pelting off into the night in your dressing gown after a Seaking that turns out to be to be a puny Magikarp.
3. How to level up really quickly
Once you hit Level 9 in Pokémon Go, you'll be gifted with a Lucky Egg and this sparkly items can be used to level you up very quickly in the game. It doubles the XP you get for 30 minutes, so you'll really need to use that time wisely.
Our top tip is to get as many Pidgeys as you can find and keep them in your pocket. Then when you've got a fair few and a tonne of Pidgey Eggs, evolve all your Pidgeys under the influence of the Lucky Egg.
Normally you get 500XP for evolving a Pidgey, but with the Lucky Egg you'll suddenly get 1000XP for evolving each one. That's a lot of XP for a Pidgey.
Using a Pidgey is great because you only need 12 Pidgey candies to evolve it, rather than the normal 25 or 50.
4. Don't buy Pokeballs, buy incense and lures instead
It's tempting to spend your hard-earned Pikachu gold on Pokéballs to catch new friends with, but don't.
Every time you check in at a PokéStop you'll get a good supply of Pokéballs. But a better way to attract new Pokémon and capture them is having a wealth of incense and lures in your rucksack.
Incense is described as "a mysterious fragrance that lures wild Pokémon to your location for 30 minutes", while the Lure Module "attracts Pokemon to a PokéStop for 30 minutes".
