"Pokemon Go" speculated to have a real-world tournament after its official release date along with the "Pokemon Go Plus" and other physical accessories.
As the recently announced "Pokemon Go" game has taken the internet by storm, fans are now clamouring for a real-world tournament similar to its official trailer where players gathered around at Times Square to battle against Mewto, Red Bull reported according to YHM.
Nintendo and The Pokémon Company along with Niantic started developing "Pokemon Go" three years ago to bring a "Pokemon" franchise on mobiles devices as an AR game, Headlines and Global News reported.
"Nintendo brought its publishing power, The Pokémon Company committed its intellectual property, and Niantic supplied its augmented reality gaming platform for the new game: "Pokemon Go," Headlines and Global News wrote.
"For the first time, Pokémon will roam free in the real world. Pokémon GO will allow players to capture Pokémon who inhabit parks, shopping areas, sidewalks and the countryside all around the world. Imagine discovering a Squirtle hiding along the waterfront in San Francisco, a Bulbasaur at Shinjuku Station or a Pikachu beneath the Eiffel Tower," according to John Hanke, founder of Niantic.
The game is said to arrive early 2016. However, PC Advisor reported that rumors have it that "Pokemon Go" release date will be on Nov. 20, 2016.
"Pokemon Go" when released will be available on iOS and Android devices for free. However, it is still unclear whether in-app purchases are required before players can start playing the game. It will be played on the real world through Augmented Reality technology, Headlines and Global News reported.
In addition, the game can be integrated to a wearable device called "Pokemon Go Plus," a wristband that allows players to play the game without the need to get their hands on their iOS or Android devices, as long it is connected on their mobile devices via Bluetooth, PC Advisor added.
The wearable device uses LED and vibration to alert players for "Pokemon" activities nearby. Players can also catch a "Pokemon" and perform simple gestures by pressing a button on the device.
