Pokémon has a long history that includes video games, TV series, and trading cards. However, Pokémon Go was only released recently and has since become widely popular in several countries. As an augmented reality (AR) mobile game, Pokémon Go allows users to change the world around them. You also become a Pokémon Trainer for the Mystic, Instinct, or Valor teams, whichever the player chooses.
Unlike other mobile games, Pokémon Go uses the GPS coordinates of a player’s location to change their city into a world surrounded by Pokémon, Pokégyms, and Pokéstops. These points of interest can be any location ranging from local restaurants, parks, to even landmarks. Using local places as part of the game forces users to get outside of the house and interact with the world around them, and step out to “catch ‘em all!”
