'Pokemon Go' Gets Kids Active
A new version of Pokemon will encourage players to get out and about. Pokemon Go uses GPS locations to track down, catch and battle Pokemon and is a substantial departure for the series.
“Pokémon GO is a wonderful combination of Niantic’s real world gaming platform and one of the most beloved franchises in popular culture,” said John Hanke, founder and CEO of Niantic, Inc. “Our partnership with The Pokémon Company and Nintendo is an exciting step forward in real-world gaming and using technology to help players discover the world and people around them.”
