What is Pokemon Go?

Pokemon Go is a mobile app that you can download from the Android or iOS store. It’s what’s known as an augmented reality game, meaning that the app tracks your location and allows you to find and catch Pokemon in real time, right outside your neighborhood coffee shop or your subway stop. The use of your real-time environment is what makes the app so fascinating to play. The game, by the way, is the latest in the Pokemon series, which features animal-like creatures called Pokemon. Pokemon Trainers go out into the wild, find Pokemon to catch, and then battle other Pokemon Trainers to see who has the strongest Pokemon. If you download Pokemon Go, you’ll be asked to choose your avatar’s appearance and create a username. Then you’ll have to take to the streets to discover wild Pokemon, which you can capture by throwing a Pokeball at them. The more you catch, the more powerful you’ll become. Pokestops, which are locations around you of some community interest, will let you restock your Pokeball supply and pocket other items as well. Once you hit a certain level, you can choose a team with which to ally yourself and start fighting other Pokemon Trainers for control of Pokemon Gyms in your area.
