Pokémon GO is a mobile augmented reality-based game in the Pokémon series, released in 2016. The game was developed by Niantic, Inc. in collaboration with Nintendo and The Pokémon Company. The project initially started as "Google Maps: Pokémon Challenge", an April Fools' Day prank made in collaboration with Google. Several "field tests" were also conducted in several regions leading up to the final release.
Accompanying the release of the game is Pokémon GO Plus, a peripheral developed by Nintendo that alerts players to in-game events. Apple Watch support was later announced at the Apple keynote event in September 2016[6], and was later released in December.[7]

Blurb
Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Pikachu, and many other Pokémon have been discovered on planet Earth!
Now's your chance to discover and capture the Pokémon all around you—so get your shoes on, step outside, and explore the world. You’ll join one of three teams and battle for the prestige and ownership of Gyms with your Pokémon at your side.
Pokémon are out there, and you need to find them. As you walk around a neighborhood, your smartphone will vibrate when there's a Pokémon nearby. Take aim and throw a Poké Ball… You’ll have to stay alert, or it might get away!
Search far and wide for Pokémon and items
Certain Pokémon appear near their native environment—look for Water-type Pokémon by lakes and oceans. Visit PokéStops, found at interesting places like museums, art installations, historical markers, and monuments, to stock up on Poké Balls and helpful items.
Catching, hatching, evolving, and more
As you level up, you’ll be able to catch more-powerful Pokémon to complete your Pokédex. You can add to your collection by hatching Pokémon Eggs based on the distances you walk. Help your Pokémon evolve by catching many of the same kind.
Take on Gym battles and defend your Gym
As your Charmander evolves to Charmeleon and then Charizard, you can battle together to defeat a Gym and assign your Pokémon to defend it against all comers.
It's time to get moving—your real-life adventures await!
Gameplay

This section is a stub. You can help NintendoWiki by expanding it. |
Upon starting the game, the player must sign into the game, using either a Google account or a Pokémon Trainer Club account. The player is then able to create their own avatar, customizing their outfit, skin color, eye color, and hairstyle.
During normal gameplay, the player appears on a map of the world, the game tracking the player's actual location using the device's built-in GPS capabilities. Pokémon will appear on the map, which the player can tap on to engage in battle, which can either be in AR (making the Pokémon appear as though it is in the real world using the device's camera) or on an in-game background. During these battles, the player must toss a Poké Ball at the Pokémon to catch it. A ring cirkles around the Pokémon with varying catch rates depending on the color, ranging from green being easy to red being hard. The ring shrinkes and goes right back to full and if the Poké Ball hits the Pokémon within this ring the player recieves a bonus depending on the size of the ring ranging from the biggest ring resulting in a nice catch and 10 extra experience points to the smallest ring resulting in an excellent throw and 100 extra experience points.
Rather than using the stats system of the core games, Pokémon in Pokémon GO instead have a "CP" (Combat Power) value, which can be raised by feeding the Pokémon candy (obtained by either catching or sending to Professor Willow a Pokémon of the same species or evolutionary line) and stardust (obtained by catching Pokémon).
