The game revolves around catching Pokémon you encounter by using your mobile phone. Walk around in the real world and keep an eye out for any Pokémon that will appear as you observe the Google-Map-esque layout! The more you catch, the higher your trainer level increases, and in turn the rarer and stronger Pokémon you can encounter. You can also gain the ability to evolve your Pokémon if you have enough of the same species obtained. Meanwhile, what Pokémon you can encounter depends largely on your location. Walk near a beach, and you’ll find more Water types, for example.
