"Pokemon Go" has finally arrived on Apple Watch and it could be complicated to think how to play the game on a tiny device that is strapped on the wrist. Good news though because there are many gaming enthusiasts out there who always lend their hands on helping you out.

With Apple Watch's capabilities and power, which is the same as the iPhone, no wonder it can run mobile games such as "Pokemon Go." Time reports that Niantic Labs especially optimized the game for Apple Watch's tiny screen, which means that playing it on the device is just the same as playing it on the smartphone.

According to Cinema Blend, a YouTuber (Lachlan) put all the things that "Pokemon Go" has for the Apple Watch. It also includes the rundown on how to play the game.

So how do you find Pokemon on Apple Watch? At a glance, Pocket Monsters are visible if they are nearby lining up on the watch screen, which also considers your Poke-walks as workouts as it will let you know the calories you have burned and how far you've already walked. Once you are close to a Pokemon, the watch notifies you of what's hanging in the vicinity.

When you find Pokemon and if it's something you want to catch, how do you do it? Obtaining items at PokeStops is programmed into the Apple Watch. Whenever you're close to a PokeStop, the new watch app notifies you and then you can spin the icon to grab loot but to catch the Pokemon is, unfortunately, the thing that you can't do directly with "Pokemon Go" from the watch as it doesn't work well in spinning and chucking Pokeballs . This means that you might have to grab your smartphone and do the usual thing in catching Pokemon.

On the plus side, hatching eggs on "Pokemon Go" works fine on the watch. Hatching eggs, of course, involves walking so whenever you're using your smartphone and you have an egg incubating, the watch notifies you when an egg is close to hatching. Once it happens, you can simply give the screen a gander to check the new Pokemon out.
