Pokémon GO is a location-based augmented reality smartphone game developed and operated by Niantic and licensed by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company. Since July 2016, Pokémon GO has been released on both iOS and Android platforms. Players use the virtual world as a platform to capture, fight, train, and trade Pokémon. The game adopts the mechanism of free publishing and paid props. The gameplay of Pokémon GO is not very similar to the orthodox works of the series. Players need to capture Pokémon in the game world and train them.

The diversity and originality of the game attract many players. When the cartoons were launched, Pokémon GO also accumulated a large number of fans, laying a good fan base. Pets restore their original features and make innovations, such as some meeg sprites, which some games did not have at the time. There is also a pile of games made by a series of APPs such as Baidu. At the same time, this is a card game, focusing on collection and growth. It also attracts some old players of the card growth category. There is also a diversity of activities during the festival, and the atmosphere is very active. Here the game also made me meet some net friends. There are no trolls here, and you can enjoy a harmonious environment. There are also many options in the game as well. The game covers almost all the content of the original anime, including hundreds of sprites, lottery functions, and so on. And even a home function, where players can interact, help each other, and help players to plant or water, and drive the troublemakers away from each other.

Barriers to entry the game for players are low, and the game content is very good. First of all, to play Pokemon Go, people do not need to buy a handheld, no need to buy a cassette, or even a flashcard, just a mobile phone that can connect to the Internet. Cut out the knowledge of handhelds and games, it is very easy to get started. In addition, although the game currently only contains 150 PMs in the first generation (Super Dream exists in the legend, there should be no fantasy), it has included new attributes (evil, immortal, steel) added later and the corresponding restraint relationship. There are Steel-type Magneto and Fairy-type Pippi Fat Ding. Although there are no evil spirits, they have evil skills. Although the combat power of elves can be simply described by CP values, each elf also has different individual values, as well as hidden attributes such as attack and defense. When you join a certain game faction, the faction boss can provide the service of estimating the individual value of the elves. At high levels, the differences in combat power between different elves will gradually increase. Moreover, the PM skills in the game are divided into general skills and big moves, which enhance the player's experience. Similar to fighting games, you need to use small moves to save gas before zooming in. Different big moves have different gas consumption and power. For example, the flame radiation power of 55 consumes half of the gas, and the earthquake power of 100 consumes the whole pipe. Pokémon may acquire the same skills as the main series, and elves of the same species usually carry different skills. There are also settings for attribute restraint and the same bonus of this attribute in the game, but the invalid attribute is changed to ineffective (electricity can hit the ground, ordinary and ghost can hit each other, but the effect is not good). There are three types of combat operations: small moves, enlarged moves, and big moves that dodge enemy AI sprites and allow switching sprites. Although it is simple, due to the restraint of attributes, it is also very interesting to fight, and you can experience the thrill of a very cool show operation with the elf switching.

To talk about the shortcomings, it must say that this game is not actually AR in the true sense. In essence, it is to put a 3D model of the PM in the 2D image captured by your camera. This leads to the fact that the actual picture effect of the game will not be as good as the advertised AR effect. PM floating in the air is not a problem at all, it is like sticking in front of your camera, and there is no possibility of interaction between the model and the real scene. For real AR, you can refer to the effect of Microsoft's HoloLens. Therefore, this game is still a long way from the real AR technology, and it mainly depends on the player's active brain supplement.

In a word, I have to say that the playability of Pokémon GO is still very high, and it is enough to be called a masterpiece depending on the excellent quality of the game itself and the gameplay mechanism of the game
