Pokémon GO, developed by Niantic, was a groundbreaking mobile game that introduced augmented reality (AR) into mainstream gaming. Released in 2016, the game allows players to explore real-world environments while capturing virtual Pokémon that appear through the phone's camera using AR. The game encourages players to walk around their local area to discover and capture Pokemon, battle at gyms, and visit Pokestops to collect items. This use of AR technology made Pokemon GO a cultural phenomenon, appealing to both casual and hardcore Pokemon fans.

PokE\emon GO has evolved significantly since its launch, adding new features like raids, PvP battles, and special events. The game's ability to blend physical activity with gaming has made it a popular choice for those looking to get outside while engaging in their favorite pastime. Its community-focused events, such as Pokemon GO Fest and Community Days, have drawn millions of players worldwide, fostering social interaction. The game's real-time map integration and continued updates have kept it relevant, and it remains one of the most successful mobile games, both in terms of player base and revenue.
