Geekscape Mobile: Pokemon Meets Ingress In ‘Pokemon GO’
HOLY FREAKING CRAP! HOLY! FREAKING! CRAP! HOLYFREAKINGCRAP! Pokemon GO looks fucking awesome!
What do you get when Nintendo, Niantic and The Pokemon Company join forces? You get something AMAZING!
Pokemon GO is a chocolate peanut butter situation if I have EVER seen one. The team that brought the world Ingress have finally moved onto a new project, and they’re teaming up with a beloved franchise. As the above trailer depicts, Pokemon GO is going to have players getting up and off the couch and out into the world to catch some ‘Mon!
Travel between the real world and the virtual world of Pokémon with Pokémon GO for iPhone and Android devices! With Pokémon GO, you’ll discover Pokémon in a whole new world—your own! Pokémon GO will use real location information to encourage players to search far and wide in the real world to discover Pokémon.
The Pokémon video game series has used real-world locations such as the Hokkaido and Kanto regions of Japan, New York, and Paris as inspiration for the fantasy settings in which its games take place. Now the real world will be the setting!
The Pokémon video game series has always valued open and social experiences, such as connecting with other players to enjoy trading and battling Pokémon.Pokémon GO’s gameplay experience goes beyond what appears on screen, as players explore their neighborhoods, communities, and the world they live in to discover Pokémon alongside friends and other players.
What is extra exciting is the addition of a wearable. The Pokemon Go Plus is a small device that players can wear, that connects via bluetooth to their phone to give them updates about live events or other trainers nearby!
As a diehard Ingress fan, and a diehard Pokemon fan I can’t be more excited! The thrill of running around city streets at night, with a bunch of my fellow Ingress players is one that I love, toss Pokemon into that scenario and you got yourselves something to look forward too!
Pokemon GO will hit Google Play and the App-Store early 2016. It will be FREE but have in app purchases.
