‘Pokémon GO’, An Augmented Reality Mobile Game Where Users Catch and Battle Pokémon in the Real World
by Glen Tickle from Laughing Squid on (#M1WH)
Poki(C)mon GO is a new augmented reality mobile game where users catch and battle Poki(C)mon in the real world. Players will be able to track and capture wild Poki(C)mon by physically moving in the real world, trade with and battle other nearby players, and join group missions.
Nintendo is also producing the Poki(C)mon GO Plus, a small wearable device that lets users interact with the game without looking at their smartphone.
The game will be released in 2016 and is being developed by Niantic, the former Google company that created the augmented reality game Ingress, which we have written about previously.
Poki(C)mon Go will be available for both iOS and Android smartphones.
