Pokemon Go is coming out sooner than later. First this humble idea was born as an April Fools Day Joke. But after its popularity skyrocketed Nintendo took it seriously and partnered with Niantic and the Pokemon company to make this a reality.
At E3 this morning they held a Developer Q and A with some of the greats including Shigeru Miyamoto and Junichi Masuda Along with Ishihara, Bill Trinen, and even the Jwittz.
This game is really looking like a fun experience as it puts people into their own Pokemon game. You explore this wide world of ours and catch Pokemon. It really is going to be something that makes you actually leave the house and explore. They will hold off on many of the functions of the game to allow for people to get used to it.
It looks like a game that will really engross you in your own world so that you can actually hunt Pokemon which is one reason it exists at all. Something where you can either go for a drive to somewhere new or even just go for a walk. You never know what Pokemon you may find in your back yard and that is just too cool.
Eventually they will have a group event where you go and catch Pokemon of the legendary variety such as Mewtwo. An event that will require everyone in the area to work together to catch this Pokemon
They are planning on releasing this game by the end of July but that is subject to change. As it is a smartphone game, they are planning on releasing a peripheral called Pokemon Go Plus. This will allow you to keep your eyes on the world rather then your phone which is refreshing to say the least. If there is Pokemon it will vibrate and you can just press the button, if you catch it, it will flash red green and blue. Then later you can check on your phone to see what you actually caught.
So when it comes out, I really hope people take it and go on Pokemon journeys of their own. It’s time for us to see a little bit of the world while we aren’t engrossed in other things. Maybe you’ll find something cool out there along with a sweet new Pokemon!
Below is the original trailer, and it really is something to see. Hope it really works out like the developers intend. I honestly think that it will be something to enjoy and that if the people who are field testing it are enjoying it than that is a good sign.
Update: The whole Q/A event.
