Pokémon GO is an augmented reality mobile adventure where players go outdoors to catch Pokémon superimposed in the real world via smartphone. It encourages walking to different locations to find Pokémon, spin PokéStops, and participate in gym battles and raids with others. There is mild fantasy violence in battles (turn-based animations, no gore). Socially, it has prompted community meet-ups and cooperative play. However, it requires caution: players need to be aware of surroundings (safety concern) and there are in-app purchases for items. An adult should supervise younger kids’ play and location.
