 Pokémon first emerged n 19995 as a Nintendo video game and through the decades, it has grown into a massive franchise… and 2016 marked the entry of the free-to-play location based augmented reality game that has taken the world by storm since its release on July 6th. It was primarily aimed at children and Nostalgic adults who played the game when they were young. Ironically,  the idea of an augmented reality game has made Pokémon a household name from the memories of young adults. From kids, adults and even celebrities are mesmerised by the game.

However, critics are calling Pokémon Go a temporary phenomenon that will end within months, if not weeks. Fans, on the other hand, think the game is just the beginning of a long-term movement! Well… imagine the possibilities of a Harry Potter Go or a Dragon Ball z Go. The possibilities are endless here. What do you believe? An augmented reality game is a one hit wonder? Or has Pokémon Go opened up a new era of gaming?
