Pok�mon Go is an augmented reality game combining real-world and virtual elements. |
|
It makes use of a mobile phone's global positioning system (GPS) and clock to decide which Pok�mon appears on screen � for instance, in a park, users will see grass and an insect-type Pok�mon and at night, they will be greeted with nocturnal ghosts and fairy types. The game, as its slogan "Gotta catch 'em all" suggests, requires gamers to catch all the Pok�mon they spot on the screen. Officially launched by Niantic and Nintendo on July 5, 2016, the game encompasses Tajiri's original idea of encouraging kids to realize the world around them. |
