Pokemon Go is an augmented reality game on smartphones.

It uses your GPS. You play by walking around the real world catching cutesy little virtual monsters like Pikachu and Jigglypuff in places near your phone location and training them to fight each other.

The monsters in it were first popular in the 1990s when they started on the Nintendo Game Boy. Trading cards were a huge hit in school playgrounds well before Minecraft, but after yoyos and, well, marbles.
Pokemon has been out on Game Boy and DS, it's been a cartoon programme and it's been a low-tech trading card game, but this is the first time it's been a smartphone game.

• Pokemon = pocket monster
•Pokestop = landmark
• Pokeball = a supply that you can throw to capture Pokemon for training
• Gym = a location where Pokemon battle each other
• Pikachu = the most famous Pokemon and an icon of Japanese culture

How can I get my hands on the game?

On the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play (Android). It's free but as with other free games, there are things to buy with real money once you're in the game.


Privacy Speculations

Some people have pointed out that because it works in real time, if you are close to another player in the game you can probably see them in real life.
When you sign up to play, you allow Niantic Labs to use your location and share it through the app.
This is similar to what all social networking apps ask for, but while you can turn the location functionality off with the likes of Facebook and Twitter, doing the same for Pokemon Go is going to make you less able to actually play the game.
