Pokémon Go is an amazing real world adventure game launched on 6 July 2016. It is a free-to-play location-based, augmented reality game developed by Niantic for IOS and Android devices.
In this game we have to move outside and encounter a Pokémon and then catch it. When we are near a Pokémon our phone start vibrating and we have to throw a poke ball to catch it. The game is developed by Ninatic,Inc.
It sometime runs away. To get more Poke balls we have to look for poke stops located at interesting places, such as public art installations, historical markers etc.
Once, we catch we will get it. There are 151 Pokémon that we have to collect in total. But it is also a risky game as people are not paying attention on traffic and are meeting with accidents.
It is a great risk while playing this game. Some people are so fond of this game that they are leaving their jobs and other works just for playing the game. One 24 year old New Zealander left his job and has become a full time Pokémon hunter. He has booked 20 bus trips in New Zealand in less than a week.
He has already visited 6 South Island towns and got a Pokémon at every stop. In total he has collected 90 Pokémon out of 151. He also told that he has hunted till 3 am on a occasion and he sleeps deeply because he has to travel miles a day.
He was been searching for an adventure after working regularly 6 years and Pokémon Go gave him a chance of an adventure. He fills a flask with coffee takes his backpack and heads to find Pokémon. Really it is an amazing game but needs extra safety improvements.
