SINCE POKÉMON GO LAUNCHED IN JULY, IT HAS TAKEN KIDS AND ADULTS OUTSIDE TO EXPLORE THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS, MEET NEW FRIENDS AND GET EXERCISE. POKÉMON GO IS A FREE MOBILE APP FROM NIANTIC AND NINTENDO. IT WAS RELEASED ON JULY 7 IN THE U.S. AND JULY 14 IN THE UNITED KINGDOM. RIGHT AFTER ITS LAUNCH, POKÉMON GO WAS MORE POPULAR THAN INSTAGRAM AND SNAPCHAT. YOU DESIGN YOUR OWN AVATAR THEN START WALKING. YOUR AVATAR WILL MOVE ON THE MAP ON YOUR SCREEN USING G-P-S. WHEN YOU ARE CLOSE ENOUGH TO CAPTURE A POKÉMON, IT WILL POP UP ON YOUR SCREEN AND YOUR PHONE WILL VIBRATE. TO CAPTURE THE POKÉMON, YOU HAVE TO THROW A POKE BALL AT IT.
