Pokémon GO
Some new details have been released for the upcoming Smartphone title, Pokémon GO. In the game, you raise level as a trainer and when you reach higher levels, you can find rarer and more powerful Pokémon. Your trainer level also gains you access to more powerful items such as the Great Ball. PokéStops exist in real life as monuments where you can find various items.
To evolve Pokémon, you have to catch the same species of Pokémon multiple times. You can also find Pokémon Eggs at PokéStops which hatch while you walk around in the game. When hatched, it may be a Pokémon you have yet to see in the game.
As stated before, wild Pokémon will vary depending on location. The example given is for Water-type Pokémon typically being found near the oceans.
When you reach a certain point in the game, you'll be asked to join one of three teams. When joined, you can set one of your Pokémon to various locations such as gyms around the world. Each player can only put one Pokémon at a gym, with multiple players being able to put a Pokémon at the gym. If a Gym is owned by another player's team, you can challenge the gym to claim control. There's also a wide variety of challenges to accomplish in the game. Pre-Release Screenshots have been added to our page
Edit @ 14:33: There appears to be a feature that will let you turn off the camera part of the game where Pokémon would appear in real life surroundings to include a virtual backdrop.
