Which Pokémon game was developed by Niantic and launched in 2016?

Pokémon Go was developed by Niantic and launched in 2016.

The mobile game uses augmented reality and GPS to let players find, capture, train, and battle Pokémon in real-world locations. Niantic developed and published it in partnership with Nintendo and The Pokémon Company.

Pokémon Go first launched on July 6, 2016, in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. Japan followed on July 22, 2016, so the game’s worldwide rollout was staggered rather than simultaneous.

The title is distinct from Pokémon Quest, Pokémon Unite, and Pokémon Masters EX, which are separate mobile or cross-platform games. Pokémon Go’s location-based design helped make it one of the most visible Pokémon releases of the franchise’s third decade.
