Pokemon GO: create a second account - how it works

Pokemon Go was the mobile gaming highlight last summer. This practical tip shows you how to set up a second account for use.

Pokemon Go: create two accounts - how it works

• When you log in to the game for the first time, you have the choice between registering with a Google account and registering with a Trainer Club account.
• If you choose the latter, your scores will not be saved on Google, but on the servers of Niantic, the game service provider.
• Now there are two ways to create a second account.
• Either log in with your Google account and then create a Trainer Club account. You can now easily switch back and forth between these two accounts.
• Alternatively, you can simply store two Google accounts on your device that you use to play Pokemon Go and switch between these two accounts.

Pokemon Go: switch between accounts

If you have created two accounts, each with a saved game, the question now is how you can switch between them.

1. To do this, first open the Pokemon Go app.
2. In this you have to open the settings via the Pokeball and then the gear symbol.
3. At the bottom you can unsubscribe from Pokemon Go.
4. When re-registering, you have the choice between the two previously created accounts.

Pokemon Go: second account - is this allowed?

Finally, we answer the question of whether a second account is allowed under the "Terms of Service" (TOS).

• At Pokemon Go, the "Second Account" topic does not appear in these guidelines.
• So it doesn't seem to be strictly forbidden.
