Niantic's "Pokemon GO" continues to gather more gamers due to its unique augmented-reality gameplay and its classic Pokemon twist. With "Pokemon GO's" success, players have also take it upon themselves to look for several tricks and tips to get ahead in the game.

A couple of things that concerns "Pokemon GO" gamers is the act of catching Pokemon successfully and eventually evolving them. Unfortunately, even though catching a Pokemon might seem easy enough, gamers don't always catch them on their first try.

One thing "Pokemon GO" gamers can try is distracting the Pokemon. Pokemon can be distracted by using Razz Berries. These distracting berries can be acquired through Pokestops once a player reaches level eight. To successfully capture a Pokemon, gamers must fling a Razz Berry at a Pokemon, and doing so will distract the Pokemon and will make it easier for the gamer to fling a ball at the Pokemon to catch it.

Another thing "Pokemon GO" players can try is to pay attention to the screen circles that appear in the display once you are in Pokemon catching mode. When catching a Pokemon, large circles will appear on the screen. Gamers must pay attention to these circles as these get smaller in size. A smaller circle will give gamers better odds at capturing a Pokemon. Gamers should also pay attention to the difficulty level of catching a Pokemon by looking at the color of these circles. Green corresponds to easy Pokemon, Yellow means medium difficulty, and Red means very difficult.

As for evolving Pokemon creatures, gamers shouldn't be too keen on spending their Stardust and Pokemon Candy on Pokemon that they have just caught. It is highly suggested that gamers should save up their Stardust and Pokemon Candy for the next Pokemon they catch since the more they play, the higher level starting Pokemon they'll get. What's more is that Pokemon with higher starting levels evolve faster.

On another note, the recent update of "Pokemon GO" has provided its gamers with more rewards. The 1.15.0 iOS version of "Pokemon GO" and the 0.450 on Android now allows gamers to get more bonuses for every first Pokemon they catch at each Pokestop.
