Pokémon Go is the new game that was released in the year 2016, the game was in development since 2013 and was made by the company Niantic in partnership with Nintendo. The game is innovative, bringing the possibility to capture pokemons in the real world with augmented reality.

the coolest of Pokémon Go is how it works, the game uses resources such as GPS and the use of the cell phone camera to capture pokémons.

Using your GPS, the game will tell you where a certain Pokémon is, and using the camera you will detect it and then, with your Pokeball, you will capture it.

To catch a Pokemon you need to walk, so you approach the given Pokemon and then catch it. Pokémon Go also has Pokémon Gyms, where you can battle and conquer them. The game also features PokéStops, where you can find things like Pokémon Eggs, Poké Balls, and other exclusive items!
