Pokémon on Google Maps

In the spirit of April Fools Day Google again played their joke on us. This time with Google apps and Nintendo’s Pokémon. As the picture show I caught a Pidgey. Once caught you can bring up a pokédex and view the Pokémon that have been caught. There is also a video on how to play.

Luckily, or unluckily, you don’t have to go climbing up a rock face to really find one. You can simply cruise around your map on your device, tap the Pokémon and then tap catch. True to Pokémon, there are 150 various ones to catch, can you catch them all!?

 

Honestly though, this could really become a thing if they factored in augmented Reality and turned it into its own gaming world like Ingress.
