This is how Pokemon Go is coming along ⊟

The Pokemon Company shared these in-progress screens of the mobile app Pokemon Go – you know, the one where you walk around and do AR Pokemon stuff in the real world – today. In addition, it talked about a couple of features planned for the game:

Some Pokemon will only be found in the real-world equivalent of their native habitats, like water-types near bodies of water. And to catch these and other Pokemon, you’ll touch the screen to throw a Pokeball, which you can get at “PokeStops” at “interesting places such as public art installations, historical markers, and monuments.” PokeStops will also have Pokemon Eggs, that hatch after being carried a certain distance.

You’ll be able to level yourself up to catch better Pokemon, and evolve your Pokemon by catching multiples.

Perhaps most interesting, you’ll be able to join one of three teams, then set a single Pokemon of your own in a Gym location along with ones from your team. Then people from other teams can go to the Gym and try to fight!

The wind played with his shirt. It swept across his back like the wayward brush of calloused hands.
