Will Poki(C)mon Go work on my phone or tablet?

Here's what you need to play Poki(C)mon Go:

  • Android 4.4 and up: So you'll need to be running KitKat or higher. Niantic - the company that developed Poki(C)mon Go - says that it'll support Android 7.0 Nougat once it's officially released later this year.
  • A strong internet connection: Seriously, this thing's going to suck down the megabytes. Poki(C)mon Go is not an offline game. So keep an eye on your data usage, and your data plan. That means Wi-Fi only tablets aren't really going to work, since you have to walk around ... even adding in a hotspot is sub-optimal, since you need...
