->

Since 2016 Pokemon , the pocket monsters created by Satoshi Tajiri in the mid-90s, will more than ever in the real life of gamers . On 10 September during a joint conference to Tokyo , Tsunekazu Ishihara , president and CEO of the Pokémon Company , the company that manages the commercial rights of Pikachu & amp; co. , has presented to the public Pokemon Go , the new game starring the little monsters for iPhone and Android.

In the previous chapters of the saga – designed for console portable as the Gameboy or the latest Nintendo DS – via the GUI players entered into an imaginary world to capture the largest possible number of creatures, addressing travel, battles and with the ability to look after Pokémon make them evolve and exchange them with friends and acquaintances. Pokémon Go allows you to do everything on your smartphone. But, novelty, actually increased . The game was developed “six hands” from Pokémon Company, Nintendo , a Japanese world leader in video games, and Niantic , a start-up American born within a Google , developer of the role-playing game in augmented reality Ingress . The title, which has been downloaded over 12 million times, allows players to participate in real wars between gangs over the Internet to the control of real places, such as monuments and squares of cities around the world.

In Pokémon Go, the “ pocket monsters ” can be located through app in the real world. The player will be notified of the presence of a “creature” on your device and activating the screen, it will appear in place captured by the camera and can “capture”. “Pokémon Go is a wonderful combination platform game in augmented reality of Niantic and a product of the most beloved pop culture of the last twenty years,” he explained to the press John Hanke , founder and CEO of Niantic. As he writes the information website Cnet technology, the game will be available from 2016 on the App Store and Google Play with the opportunity for players to make purchases through the app itself.

Among these c ‘ is Pokemon Go Plus , a kind of wristwatch-shaped Poké Ball – the means by which the imaginary world created by the saga of the Pokémon “trainer” capture the little monsters – allowing players activating a signal location and receive notifications about the presence of Pokémon nearby without needing to control their smartphone. Go to work , at the park or in any public space will never be the same routine for players of Pokémon Go. “In recent years more and more people who keep his eyes fixed on the screen of your smartphone without paying attention to their surroundings, “he explained during the event Tokyo Ishihara . One of the objectives of Pokémon Go, in fact is to allow players to enjoy the scenery around them and, above all, to join the global network of players.

“I hope that Pokémon Go can become a game for people of all ages “. Especially for Nintendo, Pokémon Go is the most important challenge in recent years because it marks the company’s transition to Kyoto – who has had a hundred-year history as a factory card game – the sun console to mobile. A bet on which also aimed S atoru Iwata , president and CEO of Nintendo who died in July this year. After the huge success of 2006′s Wii , the first home console to give up the traditional joypad in favor of remote controls designed to create a gaming experience at first hand, in recent years Nintendo has lost ground and witnessed a sharp decline in its revenues. In December 2013, the same Iwata announced cuts to their salary and that of other executives. Today the revival passes right by the mobile and the Pokémon that with almost 200 million copies of games sold around the world – for a turnover of about 44 billion euro – are the most successful Nintendo title, second only to Super Mario .
