Pokemon Go: Augmented Reality (AR) Game For Your Smart Phone
To Be The Very Best: Pokémon Enters Into Augmented Reality

Gabriel Rosenberg




Halfway through your walk to school, a wild Charmander appears. Just a few throws of a Pokéball, and it could be yours. Will you stop to catch it? Nintendo is betting you will. Not just that, they're betting that you've waited most of your life to see a Pokémon in the real world. Pokémon Go — the upcoming iOS and Android app from Nintendo, The Pokémon Co., and developer Niantic Labs — promises to let anyone with a smart phone "find" and train the diverse creatures of Pokémon all around them. For aspiring Trainers, it could be an entirely new way to interact with a now 20-year-old franchise. For these companies, though, Pokémon Go — which launches for free sometime in July — offers the biggest opportunity yet to bring augmented reality into the mainstream, a chance to prove not only that AR technology is ready for people, but that people are ready for AR.

I thought it was an interesting idea, AR rather than VR. I've seen lots of apps that kind of do this already-mostly playing with pictures to add makeup or special effects. I'm not fond of the Pokemon craze but a Google Maps type of integration and ( I assume) a way of monetizing the app by opening it up to sponsored locations sounds intriguing.

This thing has just freaking exploded in Des Moines. I never heard about it till yesterday, now its all over the news. Really weird yesterday to see well-dressed professionals during the lunch hour walking around downtown with their phones out looking for pokemon. So, today I decided to download it to see what the fuss was about.

I don't know if I'll stick with it or not, but I don't think I can say anything bad about a game that forces people to go outside, walk around, and get some fresh air and exercise.

I got it just for the hell of it to see what the fuss was all about and it's kind of fun and i've never played or watched pokemon.

how do you get more pokemon balls!? i tossed like 50 at a ****ing bat and now i'm out.

I just got a galaxy s7 edge 2 weeks back and i've already exceeded my monthly data. I'm not sure if it's because this game or some other bloatware apps running it all up. I mean i've only had pokemon go on my phone for 2 days and i've been working so I haven't used it much.

Feel like I can't play it anymore unless I pay for more data which isn't worth it to me.

Pokestops, which are everywhere. Go to them, click on them, and spin the disc.

The documentation for this game is not great. From what I can see on the internet, you are supposed to go to one of those big blue things on the map. When you are close enough you can tap it to go to another screen, then spin something by swiping on your phone to get it to spit out rewards which always include pokemon balls. I dunno precisely if thats how it works, but I'll try it out.

I have no idea what's going on. So your Pokémon fight and then you take other person's character? What is the ultimate goal of Pokemon? To just collect them and get higher levels?

quick tip: when you throw a pokeball at something and miss, sometimes instead of vanishing, the ball will roll on the ground for a bit. If you touch it, you get that pokeball back.

edit: another tip: At level 5 you are asked to pick a team. I don't know how relevant this choice is, but it is not reversible so you may want to read what the obsessive people on the internet may have written on it. They are Valor (red), Mystic (blue), and Instinct (Yellow). Once you pick a team, you are (currently) with that team forever for that account.

On an unrelated note, I found this amusing for some reason.

I gave in and downloaded it Monday evening. Just now reaching level 3. Only places I've been are work and home. I did walk to a nearby church which is a pokestop. Oh, and I got some 2-headed thing while I was at the convenience store on my lunch hour today.
