    Gotta Catch Em All On GoogleMaps

    Mary Anne ButlerBy No Comments

    Did you happen to catch any Pokémon  today?  WELL WE DID!  That’s because the awesome folks at Google decided it was high time Google Maps allowed users to seek out and capture the creatures:

    In order to find the best Pokémon master, Google has developed a Pokémon Challenge that is what it calls “the most rigorous test known to man.”  So how does it work?  Google has added hidden Pokémon throughout the latest version of Google Maps, and to complete the challenge you have to catch them all.

    To play, you must you have the most recent version of the Google Maps App. Open it and click the search bar, where you’ll see a Pokéball and a button that says “Press start.”  The deadline to find all 150 Pokémon is April 2, 2014 at 2:00 P.M. PDT.

    Best part?  Even though it’s meant as an April Fool’s Day prank, you can, until the deadline, sit and capture them to your heart’s content.  That’s an ok prank in my book.
