Pokémon Go

Pokémon Go is a mobile augmented reality (AR) game developed by Niantic, Inc. and released in 2016. It allows players to explore the real world, using their smartphones to locate, capture, and train virtual creatures known as Pokémon. The game leverages GPS technology to create a map that overlays the real world with digital elements, encouraging outdoor activity and social interaction among players. Players can join teams, participate in various in-game events, battle other players, and visit designated locations called PokéStops and Gyms to gather items and engage in contests. Pokémon Go integrates aspects of exploration and community, promoting physical movement and collaboration among its user base.
