Pokémon Go



Pokémon Go is an Augmented Reality Pokémon game developed by Niantic for iOS and Android devices, initially released in select countries in July 2016. The game is the result of a collaboration between Niantic and Nintendo by way of The Pokémon Company. It uses the mobile device GPS to locate, capture, battle, and train Pokémon, which appear as if they are in the player's real-world location. The game is free to play; it uses a Freemium business model and supports Microtransactions for additional in-game items.


 * Augmented Reality: Basically.
 * Character Customization: The start of the game has little customization that a player can do, like choosing skin color, clothes, and hair.
 * Character Level
 * Defeat Means Friendship: When a trainer defeats a wild pokemon.
 * Way moreso when a trainer rescues and purify a Shadow Pokemon, the latter will show so much gratitude that he'll be stronger than the non-Shadow Pokemon.
 * Friendly Rivalry: Team Instinct, Team Valor, and Team Mystic have a friendly rivalry with each other.
 * Loading Screen: While the screen loads up, warnings to watch where you're going appears as a reminder to be careful.
 * Microtransactions: Microtransactions are featured in the shop to buy things, like a special coin to switch teams, buying space for pokemon and items, and even poses.
 * Averted, one can earn Pokécoins without spending real money and to do that is to leave your mon in the gym(s).
 * Product Placement: Some of the Pokestops and gyms are sponsored, like AT & T, McDonalds, and such.
 * Shout-Out: The Shadow Pokemon makes a comeback.
 * Taking pictures of pokemon in the wild or those in your inventor is very reminiscent of Pokémon Snap.
 * Victory Pose
