Introduction Pokmon GO is an Augmented Reality game, blending the real world and the Pokmon world into a playable adventure on your mobile device. Players visit real-world locations in order to discover Pokmon, catch Pokmon, battle Pokmon trainers at Gyms, and look for Pokmon-related items. Pokmon GO is a free-to-play mobile app for iPhone and Android devices. It is what many people call a freemium game. Its completely free to download and play. You also use the premium option to buy in-game currency called Pokcoins.

Pokcoins can be used to purchase additional Pokballs and other items. Pokcoins are not needed in order to play Pokmon GO. In fact, the game is thoroughly enjoyable without spending a dime. Pokmon GO works using GPS, and identifying your current real-world location. The GPS puts your avatar onto a cartoony version of Google Maps. Your avatar is a cartoony version of you.

The maps are extremely detailed, showing roads, buildings, houses, rivers, parks, signs, ponds, lakes, monuments, etc. The next requirement in the game is that you actually go outside and move! The map will show you nearby Pokmon to find, Pokstops you should visit, and Gyms where you can battle. Its all pretty amazing if you ask us. And its your job to catch em all and visit em all! SoWhat Are Pokmon? Weve been Pokmon experts at Pojo since 1998. We started a Pokmon website, www.pojo.com, 18 years ago, and we still maintain it on a daily basis. We also realize that this might be the first time some of you are playing a Pokmon-themed game.

So here is a little Pokmon history lesson. Satoshi Tajiri of Japan is credited with creating Pocket Monsters / Pokmon. He loved catching insects and tadpoles as a kid in the suburbs of Tokyo. He also loved arcade games. As a young adult, he started a Gaming Magazine called GameFreak . He met many game designers through his video game publication.

When he first saw the Nintendo Game Boy system and Link Cable, he imagined insects traveling across the link cable to other Game Boys. He thought he could make a video game where people collected bugs and critters and traded them across the Game Boy Cable. He pitched his idea to friends at Nintendo. Nintendo funded his project. Satoshi Tajari spent six years developing the games that would ultimately become Pocket Monsters Green and Pocket Monsters Red in Japan. Red and Green were released in 1996, and Pocket Monsters was a huge success in Japan.

Due to trademark issues, the name was shortened to Pokmon for the North American release. Pokmon Red and Blue were released simultaneously in North America in 1998. They are the granddaddies of all Pokmon games. The games seem to be simple childrens games, but they are actually very deep Role Playing Games (RPGs). The games feature a ton of strategy and a dynamic storyline. In the Pokmon RPGs, you are a trainer trying to catch a variety of pocket monsters (Pokmon) that appear in the game.

Once caught, Pokmon can be added to your party and trained to assist you. The longer you train Pokmon, the more attacks they learn, and the stronger they become. Various versions of Pokmon Red and Blue have been released over the years, amassing over 57 million units of sales. In total, the Pokmon franchise has sold over 279 million copies of Pokmon-themed games! Pokmon Snap An old Pokmon video game that is somewhat similar to Pokmon GO is a game called Pokmon Snap. Pokmon Snap was released on the Nintendo 64 in 1999. In Pokmon Snap, you played a Pokmon photographer named Todd Snap.

The premise of this game was that you rolled through various Pokmon environments in a cart on a track, and took photographs of Pokmon for Professor Oak. We know it sounds lame, but it was a ton of fun and extremely addictive. After each Rail Ride, Professor Oak graded your photos. You kept trying to photograph all the Pokmon you could and tried to get better shots on each pass. You had some items at your disposal to interact with the Pokmon environment while riding along, like a flute, apples, and Pester Balls. People loved Pokmon Snap.

You could even take your game cartridge down to the local Blockbuster video store and print your pictures out as stickers. Pokfans over the years dreamed of a real-world version of Pokmon Snap, and started making YouTube videos merging the Pokmon world into the real world. Some of these videos are extremely creative if you want to Google them. Pokmon Dream Radar Next there came a little-known game called Pokmon Dream Radar. This game was released in 2012, and was the first Pokmon game to use Augmented Reality (AR). You used the camera on your 3DS as a view finder and walked around your house.
