Let’s say that again: Pokémon Go was not designed to run on Chromebooks. Pokémon Go was not designed to run on Chromebooks. Watch it in action below in all its glory: GPS and AR issues aside, the game technically worked. I’ve encountered the same bug on my iPhone, too. On my first try, after tossing a Pokéball and catching a Pokémon, the game froze. To catch anything, you’ll have to turn AR mode off.
Without an accelerometer or rear-facing camera, you’ll just end up in an awkward selfie mode. Pokémon Go’s Chromebook AR experience failed tremendously for me. You can collect items at Pokéstops, visit gyms, and even catch Pokémon - if you happen to find one at your location if you’re desperate, you can always use incense to attract them. Step 4: Playing, finding bugs, no AR, and more! As far as we can tell, the only way to change your location is to change your Wi-Fi network. Without it, the game located us using the Wi-Fi network we’re connected to at VentureBeat’s San Francisco headquarters. But - you saw this coming, didn’t you? - Chromebooks do not ship with built-in GPS. Pokémon Go requires GPS to work properly. The app already detected my colleague‘s Google accounts, which he’d already used to register for the service on mobile, so we went that route. The app downloaded smoothly for me on the first try, but I had to launch it twice before Pokémon Go prompted me to grant access to location data (via Wi-Fi, more on that later), contacts, and to take pictures and videos. Step 2: Download Pokémon Go, grant permissions
