What is the name of Pokémon’s first augmented-reality mobile game?

Pokémon Go is Pokémon’s first major augmented-reality mobile game.

Developed by Niantic in collaboration with Nintendo and The Pokémon Company, Pokémon Go launched in 2016 for iOS and Android. It uses GPS location data, mobile cameras, and map-based exploration to let players find Pokémon in real-world surroundings.

The game first launched on July 6, 2016, in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States before expanding to other markets. Players collect Pokémon, visit PokéStops, battle at Gyms, and participate in raids and limited-time events.

Pokémon Go is sometimes confused with other mobile spin-offs. Pokémon Masters EX focuses on battles involving Trainers and their partner Pokémon, Pokémon Unite is a team-based multiplayer battle game, and Pokémon Sleep tracks sleep-related gameplay. Pokémon Go’s defining feature is its location-based augmented-reality presentation, which helped bring the franchise to a huge mobile audience.
