Pokémon GO!’ Release Date and Rumors: First Look of Pokémon Go

When Nintendo and Pokémon company made an announcement last September about Pokémon Go, the world went into a tizzy. Since people can't wait to see Squirtle and Pikachu in real world through augmented reality.

According to a recent leaked video, one can take the first real look into what Pokémon Go looks like. The clip may have been taken at the SXSW talk by Pokémon Go developer CEO of Niantic Labs, John Hanke. The clip shows in small bits an in-game map and what is it like to catch Ivysaur, complete with different pokeballs.

The leaked video resembles Redmond headquarters of Nintendo of America, located in Washington. Kotaku also confirmed that the voice in the video is that of Hanke. Pokémon Go will start testing this month in Japan, making the "leak" seem justifiable.

Just like the previous game of Niantic, Pokémon Go will also let the players venture out into the real world. With the help of location data, numerous Pokémon can be found. In this augmented reality game, the would-be Pokémon trainers can hunt down and capture pocket monsters in real life.

Fans can now have the first look of what Pokémon Go would look like and how it will work. The gameplay video already released online shows how Pokémon can be captured, map locations and a possible execution of microtransaction system.

While the leaked video doesn't seem to impress as much as the trailer, but it does give you a rough idea as to what the game looks like. So far, no release date has been announced for the game launch. However, it is expected to release this year sometime for both iOS and Android. The fans can also look forward to the wearable technology that will be available along with it.
