Previously Take

A 65 average, but 504 ratings means plenty of people love it anyway. Role-playing in the deep end — fantasy, open world, character builds you'll theorycraft about, and a world that rewards curiosity. A single-player game with no interest in being anything else. Respect.

About this game

Pokémon Go is an augmented reality mobile game that uses GPS to let players locate, capture, train, and battle Pokémon in real-world locations. Players explore their physical surroundings to find PokéStops for items, battle at Gyms for team control, participate in Raid Battles cooperatively, and compete in the Go Battle League's player-versus-player format. The game is free-to-play with in-app purchases and features Pokémon from across multiple generations of the franchise.
