Pokemon GO


Pokémon Go (stylized Pokémon GO) is a free-to-play location-basedaugmented reality game developed and published by Niantic for iOS and Android devices. It was initially 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 same real-world location as the player. The game supports in-app purchases for additional in-game items.
Pokémon Go was released to mixed reviews but enormous popularity. Reviewers praised the game's concept and the incentive to be more active in the real world, while criticizing technical issues apparent at launch. Despite such reviews, it quickly became an overnight global phenomenon and one of the most used mobile apps, reportedly having been downloaded by more than 75 million people worldwide. It was credited with popularizing location-based and augmented reality gaming, as well as for promoting physical activity. However, it has also attracted controversy for contributing to accidents and becoming a public nuisance at some locations.

the augmented reality mode; the Poké Ball must be "thrown" to capture it by tapping on the ball and flicking it up towards the Pokémon.
After establishing a game account, the player creates an avatar by selecting a hair, skin, and eye color; style; and outfit.[1][2] Once created, the avatar is displayed at the on a map using the player's current geographical location. Features on the map include PokéStops and Pokémon gyms. PokéStops provide players with items, such as eggs, Poké Balls, and potions and can be equipped with items called lures, which attract wild Pokémon.[3][4] Gyms serve as battle locations for team-based king of the hill matches.[5] These are typically located at places of interest.[6]These locations are re-purposed portals from Ingress, Niantic's previous augmented reality game.[7]
As players move within their real world surroundings, their avatar moves within the game's map. Different Pokémonspecies reside in different areas of the world; for example, water-typePokémon are generally found near water.[8] When a player encounters a Pokémon, they may view it either in augmented reality (AR) mode or with a live rendered, generic background.[9] AR mode uses the camera and gyroscopeon the player's mobile device to display an image of a Pokémon as though it were in the real world.[10] Players can take screen shots of the Pokémon they encounter either with or without the AR mode activated.[11]
