"Pokemon Go" will have a game booster called "Pokemon Go Plus."
"Pokemon" franchise started two decades ago and it has since been successful from being a video game series that developed and grew into a trading card game and tv series. As twenty years had passed, Pikachu and the gang's fan base is larger and stronger than ever. In return, Pokemon Company has good news. The company together with Niantic has announced another product that will bring the Pokemon world into reality.
The "Pokemon GO" is the newest mobile game, available in both Android and iOS devices. It brings Pokemons into the real world through an augmented-reality where players can locate, catch, and even battle other players just like Ash.
Niantic Inc. founder John Hanke said via Pokemon website "For the first time, Pokemon will roam free in the world. Pokemon GO will allow players to capture Pokemon who inhabit parks, shopping areas, sidewalks, and countryside all around the world."
Imagine being able to catch Bulbasaur in the Golden Gate Bridge at San Francisco or Pikachu on top of Mount Rushmore. Then that would be amazing especially for Pokemon fanatics," Hanke continued.
"Pokemon GO" game will also have companion device called "Pokemon Go Plus" which is still under development, PC Advisor reported. The device can either be clipped or strapped in the wrist like a watch. Though the mobile game will still work without the device, it helps the user get notifications and actions via Bluetooth without looking at the phone.
"Pokemon GO" and "Pokemon GO Plus" is yet to be announced, but many assume that both will be released by 2016.
