Dozens of wild Pokémon have taken up residence on streets, amidst forests and atop mountains throughout Google Maps.

To catch 'em all, grab your Poké Ball and the newest version of Google Maps for iPhone or Android. Then tap the search bar, "press start," and begin your quest.

And, follow Google Maps on Google+, Facebook or Twitter for hints and tips for the most dedicated trainers.

Played around on it for about 20 minutes last night before bed.. found about 30! It's actually so much fun haha.

I still can't believe Google partnered with Gamefreak/Pokemon

That is pretty cool. Although I was never a big fan of Pokemon, the concept is brilliant.

I seen it earlier today from a friend, it is def a sweet idea and hopefully some cool things come about from it!

 

Why was it/is it only available for such a short time?

Made me laugh

Why was it/is it only available for such a short time?

I'd love for them to make a permanent thing since it was actually a lot of fun, but the reason why they had it open for such a short duration was because it was an April Fools joke.

 

Ohh, makes sense - didn't look in to it at all. Im guessing there was no pokemon or?

There were pokemon, but the prize of finding all 150 was to get a job at google with the title of "Pokemon Master", which was obviously a joke.

To be more precise, *if* you found all 150 pokemon, you'd be invited to the Googleplex to battle the other people who got 150 pokemon, and the victor would get the job.
