About
Join Trainers across the globe who are discovering Pokémon as they explore the world around them. The newest update to Pokémon GO, the global gaming sensation that has been downloaded 650 million times and named “Best Mobile Game” by The Game Developers Choice Awards and “Best App of the Year” by TechCrunch, introduced the addition of over 80 beloved Pokémon among several other new features.
Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Pikachu, and many other Pokémon have been discovered!
Now’s your chance to discover and capture the Pokémon all around you—so get your shoes on, step outside, and explore the world. You’ll join one of three teams and battle for the prestige and ownership of Gyms with your Pokémon at your side.
Pokémon are out there, and you need to find them. As you walk around a neighborhood, your smartphone will vibrate when there’s a Pokémon nearby. Take aim and throw a Poké Ball… You’ll have to stay alert, or it might get away!
Search far and wide for Pokémon and items
Certain Pokémon appear near their native environment—look for Water-type Pokémon by lakes and oceans. Visit PokéStops, found at interesting places like museums, art installations, historical markers, and monuments, to stock up on Poké Balls and helpful items.
Catching, hatching, evolving, and more
As you level up, you’ll be able to catch more-powerful Pokémon to complete your Pokédex. You can add to your collection by hatching Pokémon Eggs based on the distances you walk. Help your Pokémon evolve by catching many of the same kind. Choose a Buddy Pokémon to walk with and earn Candy that will help you make your Pokémon stronger.
Take on Gym battles and defend your Gym
As your Charmander evolves to Charmeleon and then Charizard, you can battle together to defeat a Gym and assign your Pokémon to defend it against all comers.
It’s time to get moving—your real-life adventures await!

Pokémon GO reviews and comments
However, your enjoyment of this game will be directly proportional to how good your local map is. I lived in an area with five gyms and 5 additional Pokestops; I work in Downtown with over 10 gyms and tens of Pokestops nearby. I've got plenty of content to explore and have enjoyed it immensely. If, however, you live in a more rural area or somewhere lacking in stops and gyms, this game can end up being a slog.
In addition, having an active community of players nearby can give a grand experience of belonging to something bigger... not to mention it's fun seeing people in suits with briefcases standing around to catch a Charizard.
This game is the realization of Satoshi Tajiri's dream of providing a world of exploration in a hand-held format. The original vision for Pokemon was to help city-bound kids find a huge world to explore full of magical creatures. 20 years later, we now have a game tied to the real world inspiring actual real-world exploration.
