Pokemon has been around for a while now. The first Pokemon game was released way back in 1996 in Japan. Now, twenty years later, in 2016 these games are still coming out and believe it or not there are still a few new ideas! It seems like those creative Nintendo folks, the creators of Pokemon games, never run out new ideas.

This time Nintendo has teamed up with Niantic and have given gamers an exciting new way to enjoy the world of Pokemon! They announced the new game recently and this time gamers will not need to plug in their Nintendo device, but will be able to Pokemon duel on their smartphones. For the first time ever, Pokemon will be available as an app for both Android and IOS users. That means whether gamers prefer an Iphone or a droid, both can battle for Pokemon bragging rights.
The precise release date has not been finalized, but this game is set to be released during 2016, hopefully sooner rather than later. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this game is that players will be required to purchase a special Pokemon bracelet in order to play the app.

This game will allow players to catch Pokemon in the real world. That is correct, to be able to play this game, players will be immersed in a Pokemon world in which they will have to travel around to catch Pokemon. Once a team is assembled players can battle, trade and catch and earn more Pokemons. This will help people communicate better with one another. Helping friends out and developing new friendships. This game promises to bring Pokemon enthusiasts from all over together to play and trade Pokemon.
Though the game has not been released yet, the “Poke-world” has been abuzz with anticipation. Perhaps greater than cards and precious games, this iteration of Pokemon, has the possibility to become the greatest format for enjoying Pokemon ever. The internet is full of those who cannot wait for this to be released.
