Pokémon GO
During the South by Southwest convention in Austin, Texas, otherwise known as SXSW, John Hanke of Niantics Lab held a panel on augmented reality gaming and within this panel, it appears that the first footage of Pokémon GO has been shown. During this footage, an overlay of Google maps was shown with a trainer and Ivysaur. This then instigated a battle using augmented reality with the camera to catch an Ivysaur. PokéBalls were thrown before switching to a Master Ball where it was caught. The footage also indicated about usage of Crystals. The usage of them is not currently known, but we'll provide more details on that, as well as this game, as it comes.
Edit @ 23:21: Twitter user TomWoodhead has posted an image which showcased the map even clearer. In the distance, some symbols can be seen that match the Pokémon Gym symbols from the main series
