Today the The Pokémon Company announced Pokémon Go, a mobile game that the developer Niantic has been working on for the last few years alongside Nintendo.
The game will use a peripheral called the Pokémon Go Plus that will pair to the player's phone and allow them to virtually catch Pokémon. The device will also have a rumble feature to alert the wearer to a potential catch.

Check out the following trailer that has been dedicated to Satoru Iwata:

Pokémon Go will release in 2016 for Android & iOS.

Exactly like Ingress.
Made by the same people infact.

i dont get it. how does this work? you walk around town and get notifications on your smartphone that a pokemon is nearby? you then battle it on your smartphone like any other pokemon game?

It has been years I hoped to see something like this from the company that makes Pokémon...
Awesome, nothing else to say.

I mean the post only have like 5-6 sentence and he still miss it.

I honestly can't wait for this... It'll give me more of a reason to go outside and explore. Hopefully the microtransactions aren't too bad though.

 

[Shulking]

Really excited for this.

I'm interested in this, the music is done by Masuda, there will be trading and battling as well. It also links to the main game somehow. Very cool concept I'm willing to try out with Pokemon.

apk mods soon

I wonder if the Pokemon locations are generated at random for each player, or if they are universal. What happens if two people encounter the same Pokemon at the same time?

Really, Nintendo? I play Pokemon to avoid the real world, not immerse myself in it.

Seriously, though. It encourages kids (and adults, too) to go out into the world, explore, exercise, and whatnot. I like it. I wonder if you need a constant connection... if not, I can use my wifi-only phone.

 

[Varia]

This could potentially be cool... with a VR head set. Not using your phone.

 

[A_Random_Guy]

Hopefully you will not need a constant internet connection.

that would be cool if we enconter the same pokemon and punch each other on real life so the other doesn't grab the pokemon first!

Watch it have poke ball 10 pack microtransactions and not work outside of Japan and America

So in the video, everyone got a Mewtwo?

It kinda reminds me about the Pokewalker.
All this would be great if it were VR based. Dayum.
