Twitter Is Hyped About Pokémon Go, Wants To Catch ‘Em All

The debut of Pokémon Go, which officially launched (July 10, 2016), has inspired thousands of wannabe Poké trainers to document their quests to catch ’em all on social media.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the original Pokémon games, and the company is celebrating with an augmented reality game that uses GPS technology to let players uncover the Pokémon characters lurking in their own neighborhoods. It’s a cool concept that appears to be well-executed—and, of course, ripe for meme creation.

The interface mimics a Google Maps layout—but where there was previously just a real-life local museum or restaurant, there is now a Pokéstop that is stocked with helpful items like Pokéballs. The game offers up hotspots called “Gyms,” which teams of players can take over (similar to being the “mayor” of a location on Foursquare).

The game is available to download for iOS and Android.
