Pokémon GO, an augmented reality mobile game based on location services, is licensed by Nintendo, Inc. and licensed by Pokémon, Inc. and developed and operated by Niantic, Inc. was released on both iOS and Android platforms from July 2016. And it is also a game that incorporates reality technology (i.e.: AR). In the game, players will use the real environment as a platform to capture, fight, train and trade virtual monsters "Pokémon". The main purpose of the game is to capture Pokémon outdoors and use them to fight in the dojo. Players have different attitudes towards this game, some are dedicated to collecting the picture book, some are dedicated to collecting the perfect individual value of Pokémon, and some are dedicated to honing their battle skills ...... In short, find a kind of purpose you want.

The gameplay is not too similar to the series canonical works. The game starts with setting up your own image, then choosing one of the three initial Pokémon from the first generation (you can swipe the hidden initial Pokémon Pikachu by leaving the location of the three Pokémon many times), and the game officially starts after setting up the id. Catching Pokémon with the Poké Ball and collecting items by rotating the supply station, attacking/defending the dojo after reaching the level, participating in group battles, exchanging gifts and battling with friends, and battling with passersby on the ladder - these are probably the daily routine of this game.

It is also important to level up players in that game. The current level cap is level 50 (40 until December 2020). Why is it important? Because one is that as you level up, you will gradually unlock higher level props; the other is that the level cap for Pokémon is the trainer's level +2 (before level 40). So, to catch a high level of Pokémon, improve the trainer's level is necessary. There are two important level lines in this game: one is level 5, after which you can choose the red, yellow and blue team and participate in dojo battles and group battles. The other is level 30, which is basically a marker for people to judge whether a person is a newbie or not, and the CP and Individual Value (IV) of the same Pokémon captured by all players above level 30 are the same, so that players above level 30 can easily notify each other. For example, if a level 32 player catches a Pikachu with a CP of 20, if a level 29 player catches this one, the CP and IV will most likely be different, but other level 30+ players catching this one must also have a CP of 20 and the IV is the same. After rising to level 40, continue to upgrade in addition to gain the needed experience to complete specific tasks, which were added at the end of 2020. At the end of 2020 to reach level 40 players will get "glory forty" medal and limited tyrannosaurus hat.

In addition, the game will provide different Pokemon for different areas, for example, in areas near water (lakes, shores, river banks), the probability of water-based Pokemon appearing will be higher than in other places. [26] player movement in the game is based on the player's location in the real world, for example, previously only in the canonical works of the hatching egg system also debuted in this work, players can use the incubator after obtaining Pokémon eggs, and to hatch the Pokémon eggs provided in "GO", the player needs to walk or move in reality to reach a certain distance before they can hatch successfully and get new Pokemon Pokémon. The dojo in the series is also present in this work, different teams of players will have battles in the dojo, there are currently the Lingxiang team (yellow), Hieiji team (blue), and the Wu Yong team (red).

The game compared to the series canon, in many ways have been greatly simplified. For example, in this work to capture the Pokémon only need to throw the ball to capture, rather than like the canonical works need to fight first and then capture. (Group battles are still carried out as in the canonical works, but there is a time limit) and in the development of Pokémon, players only need to use the same type of Pokémon candy can enhance the ability of their Pokémon, and in the game so that the evolution of Pokémon is also used in this way, rather than like the canonical works need to reach a certain level before you can.

Of course there are many game cheats and details that you need to figure out in the process of playing, so enjoy the game!
