Travel between the real world and the virtual world of Pokémon with
Pokémon GO for iPhone and Android devices! With Pokémon GO, you'll
discover Pokémon in a whole new world—your own! Pokémon GO will use real
locations to encourage players to search far and wide in the real world
to discover Pokémon.
The Pokémon video game series has used real-world locations such as
the Hokkaido and Kanto regions of Japan, New York, and Paris as
inspiration for the fantasy settings in which its games take place. Now
the real world will be the setting!
Get on your feet and step outside to find and catch wild Pokémon.
Explore cities and towns around where you live and even around the globe
to capture as many Pokémon as you can. As you move around, your
smartphone will vibrate to let you know you're near a Pokémon. Once
you've encountered a Pokémon, take aim on your smartphone's touch screen
and throw a Poké Ball to catch it. Be careful when you try to catch it,
or it might run away! Also look for PokéStops located at interesting
places, such as public art installations, historical markers, and
monuments, where you can collect more Poké Balls and other items [Such as Wright Brothers Memorial.]
In Pokémon GO, you will gain levels as a Trainer, and at higher
levels you will be able to catch more powerful Pokémon to complete your
Pokédex. You'll also have access to more powerful items, such as Great
Balls, to give you a better shot at catching Pokémon. Keep exploring and
encountering Pokémon to raise your level!
There are other ways to add Pokémon to your roster, too. If you catch
the same species of Pokémon enough times, you'll get the opportunity to
evolve one of them. And as you explore, you may find Pokémon Eggs at
PokéStops, which will hatch after you've walked a certain distance. When
they hatch, you may find Pokémon you've never seen before [Like Sun & Moon Pokemon!]
Some wild Pokémon will appear only in certain places near where you
live or around the world. For example, some Water-type Pokémon may
appear only near lakes and oceans. If you're away from home, be sure to
stay alert for Pokémon you wouldn't normally encounter! [Beach 4 me!!!]
At a certain point in the game, you'll be asked to join one of three
teams. Once you join a team, you'll gain the ability to assign Pokémon
you've caught to empty Gym locations or to a location where a team
member has placed one of his or her Pokémon. Like PokéStops, Gyms can be
found at real locations in the world. Each player can place only one
Pokémon at a particular Gym, so you're encouraged to work with others on
the team to build up a strong defense.
If a Gym is already claimed by another team, you can challenge that
Gym using your own Pokémon. Using the Pokémon you've caught, engage in
battle with the defending Pokémon at the Gym to claim control.
A wide variety of challenges are available that highlight many
different categories, such as catching Pokémon and exploration. By
completing these challenges, you'll unlock achievement medals that will
appear in your player profile. Try your best to unlock as many medals as
you can!
A portable device called the Pokémon GO Plus will enable Pokémon GO
players to enjoy the game even while they’re not looking at their
smartphones. The device connects to a smartphone via Bluetooth and
notifies the player about events in the game—such as the appearance of a
Pokémon nearby—using an LED and vibration. In addition, players can
catch Pokémon or perform other simple actions by pressing the button on
the device. Pokémon GO Plus will be available soon. Check back for more
details.
An early field test limited to Japan only is planned for Pokémon GO
while the game is still in active development. The features, available
languages, design, and overall appearance are not final. Please stay
tuned for information about expansion of the field test to other
markets.
Pokémon GO will be available for download at no charge on the App
Store and Google Play. In-app purchases will also be available.
