Some new
details have been released for the upcoming Smartphone title, Pokémon
GO. In the game, you raise level as a trainer and when you reach higher
levels, you can find rarer and more powerful Pokémon. Your trainer level
also gains you access to more powerful items such as the Great Ball.
PokéStops exist in real life as monuments where you can find various
items. If you catch the same species of Pokémon enough times, you’ll get
the opportunity to evolve one of them. And as you explore, you may find
Pokémon Eggs at PokéStops, which will hatch after you’ve walked a
certain distance. When they hatch, you may find Pokémon you’ve never
seen before. Some wild Pokémon will appear only in certain places near
where you live or around the world. For example, some Water-type Pokémon
may appear only near lakes and oceans. If you’re away from home, be
sure to stay alert for Pokémon you wouldn’t normally encounter!
When you reach a certain point in the game, you’ll be asked to join one
of three teams. When joined, you can set one of your Pokémon to various
locations such as gyms around the world. Each player can only put one
Pokémon at a gym. If a Gym is owned by another player, you can
challenged the gym to claim control. There’s also a wide variety of
challenges to accomplish in the game.
There
appears to be a feature that will let you turn off the camera part of
the game where Pokémon would appear in real life surroundings to include
a virtual backdrop
