How do I select one of the starter Pokemon?

I cannot choose one of the starter Pokemon in Pokemon Go. I've created my character, and started the game. My character is standing there surrounded by 3 Pokemon, and isn't moving around.

I've tapped on the Pokemon but nothing happens. What do I do? I can choose any of them.

Solution 1:

It sounds like you are having connection issues. Pokémon Go requires a stable internet connection.

Also, make sure your device fits the requirements

Solution 2:

Clear the cache

I had the same problem. I am using Android so if you're using the same try these. Some of the online solutions (that did not work for me) were:

• Switch off mock locations ( it was already switched off)

• Turn on location to high accuracy ( already done)

• Update Google maps ( did it, yet couldn't fix problem)

• Reinstall app ( 3 times)

None of the solutions given online worked.And then I thought for myself.

So what worked for me? I went to downloaded apps, selected Pokémon Go and cleared cache and data.

Caught Charmander :)
