Hmm that trailer is a ton of misleading.
I hate it when they never show any idea of actual gameplay.
Likely it'll just be a 2D screen and battles are fought automatically so no strategy required.
In otherwords like Ingress but with a license on top.
Least thats what I fear.
If they had classic style battling it might not be too bad.
From what we can tell though it seems it'll kinda be like geo caching but likely they'll make it simple and you'll just get random wild pokemon finds.
Seems fun but I'm guessing it'll end up as cheap as they can manage it rather than a full fledged game.
Oh well should be fun to see how it works out providing the accessory isn't insanely hard to get.

Things like this just make me want Ar/Smartglasses to become mainstream faster and yes, the ad is misleading. Still a good and fun ad.
Should have, even if a low power, made it a smartwatch with Nfc or maybe just Nfc. Would encourage people not to try to find a hack to use their phone only. I wonder if the band is the only way they plan to make money off this.

This really reminds me of Treasure Gaust. Or what it could have been. Pity it never took off.
Even if the app sucks and all that, I still enjoyed the trailer

This game could be so damn great if not done for smartphones... Why can't this wait a few years and be released for the HoloLens? That would be much more like the trailer. And with those HoloLens glasses people would look a little like Team Flare grunts.
I might try this game, but I'm sure I will be disappointed by the actual experience offered after seeing misleading trailer. I hate it when people still try to sell decent ideas with lots of pure imagination.

I imagine that this will be like a hybrid of Ingress, and the Google Maps Pokemon April fools thing. It will almost certainly require a constant data connection (much like Ingress), and will probably consume a decent amount of battery. For ingress, my preferred mode of play is my Wi-Fi Nexus 9 with a USB extended battery tethered to my phone.
i'm not sure if you were joking or not but that's exactly what i think it's going to be. nintendo has been really pushing mobile games and microtransactions lately, and are using pokemon to pave the way. (pokemon rumble world and pokemon shuffle for example)
i wouldn't be surprised if NX turns out to be their own android based handheld.

This is really stupid. A AR Pokemon game for Google Glass/Hololens would be much better if they really wanted to bring Pokemon to the real world.
This is as stupid as that Google maps campaign Pokemon had a few months back.

I actually think something like Google Glass would be better fit for something like this than VR. When only characters/monsters are popping up in the real world and the entire environment isn't being generated, then I don't see why you'd need or want a giant head piece like the Rift on your head.
Really excited for this, it will make my work life more entertaining running around the backroom of target catching Pokemon hiding in the freezers or crawling around the high shelves
Two things I am very curious about though.
First, will this replace the possibility of a mainline Pokemon game releasing next year on 3DS? We did not get one this year, I do wonder if this will be our "replacement" for the year, or if it will coincide with the launch of a new Pokemon 3DS game that will have compatibility with Pokemon GO.
My other question is... will there be Shiny encounters..?
