Download Pokemon GO for iOS and Android

The Pokemon franchise has always been about two things: collecting fanciful creatures and making them fight each other. Pokemon Go builds on this, using augmented reality to bring these challenges into the real world. It uses your phone’s camera and GPS to show Pokemon around you in the real world. So, for example, while I’m walking through the school, I actually see different Pokemon in the various classes and play areas.

The idea and concept behind the app is innovative, yet similar apps have previously been built to use the GPS capability, with the opportunity to create treasure hunts around the local area. 

Pokemon Go will allow people of all ages to come together to solve problems. The app would be engaging, fun, and users would feel good about what they learn and accomplish.
