GPS Game // Pokemon Go!

Pokemon Go is a GPS game that gives people the opportunity to travel wherever they please and “catch Pokemon” and battle each other! Doing so, they are able work together or against other players based on their team! This game was a really fun and interesting GPS game that I’ve played because of so many different things about the game. First of all, the nostalgic aspect of finally being able to “catch Pokemon” in this augmented reality is so fun and fulfills my childhood dreams. Second, the battle aspect of putting your Pokemon to battle against other trainer’s Pokemon is very reminiscent of the actual Pokemon games. Lastly, the aspect of this game that makes it so special: the community aspect. This game really brought so many people out of their houses and to different areas together. Through its most successful times, it filled parks and areas where people had stopped going out. This is something I have personally experienced and appreciated: People who are complete strangers, coming together because of a love of Pokemon. The mechanics of this game are really simple. The main one is Semi-Cooperative. This is because you do not have to work with others, but you are more than able to. This is the aspect that makes the game fun and successful in my opinion.
