Pokémon is one of the most famous franchises in the world. No matter the generation, they continue to win the love of players and casual followers. In that sense, anyone can enjoy the filter available on Meta platforms that turns pets into a pokemon.
Nowadays short videos are very successful, so there are continually new filters with users can use to explore their creativity. On Instagram and Facebook, a Pokémon filter that simulates the capture of a creature with a pokéball is succeeding.
This allows you to place a dog, cat, hamster, and even a person in the center. However, the most popular videos have been those of people “trapping” their pet inside a pokéball. After the simulation, where the puppy or kitten is captured, the filter creates a Pokémon card that shows a description of the “creature”, including the type, its strength and other data.
The conjunction between the Japanese franchise and mascots has been widely used for reels and stories of Meta's platforms. To use it is only necessary to search for the filter in the social network.
You must first access the option to create a reel, then in the section of selecting filters search for “Catch them Now! (Pokémon)”, there will be the option, which has a very similar style to the Augmented Reality (AR) video game, Pokémon Go, in which you can catch creatures on the street or inside buildings.
After selecting the filter, you must point the camera at the pet, which will immediately be in the center of the screen. Later, the filter will do the animation work where the pokéball will simulate catching the furry and show the description letter.
It should be remembered that reels can be recorded in a series of clips (one at a time), all together or with videos from the gallery. The capture button must be held down to record the first clip. A progress indicator will be displayed at the top of the screen as it is recorded. You have to stop recording to finish each clip.
At the end of the AR filter animation, all that remains is to save and publish the reel. Of course, for it to be successful, some hashtags must be added, such as #Pokémon #AtrápalosYa #Mascotas, among others.
If you have a public account, you can share the reel in a special space in the “Explore” section to be discovered by the huge Instagram community. It can also be published to the feed to share it with followers. When sharing reels that include certain songs, hashtags, or effects, the reel can also appear on specific pages, whenever someone clicks on that song, hashtag, or effect.
If you have a private account, reels will respect the privacy settings on Instagram. If the reel is shared in the feed, only followers will be able to see it. People will not be able to use the original audio from the reels (if added) nor will they be able to share your reels with others who don't follow you.
To see other reels, you just have to go to the “Explore” section where you can see what is trending on Instagram.
