Friend codes in Pokémon Go allow players to connect with other trainers and explore the game’s social features.

Niantic’s Pokémon Go is one of the most popular mobile games in the market. What makes the game so popular is the way it merges the real world with a virtual one. It’s a game that’s filled with Pokémon and trainers trying to catch ‘em all. Pokémon Go’s social features also enable players to connect with other trainers around the world and share their love for Pokémon. The game does this through friend codes.
