Pokémon GO

Pokémon GO is a free-to-play location-based augmented reality mobile game developed by Niantic and published by The Pokémon Company as part of the Pokémon franchise. The game was released in selected countries in July 2016. In the game, players use a mobile device's GPS capability to locate, capture, battle, and train virtual creatures called Pokémon, who appear on the screen as if they were in the exact real-world location as the player. The game supports in-app purchases for additional in-game items.

Gameplay

The game Pokémon GO allows users to capture, battle, and train virtual creatures, called Pokémon, who appear on the user's screen as if they were in the exact real-world location as the player.
