Pokémon Go

Pokémon GO is the smash hit Android and iOS game that made augmented reality a household name. The Niantic hit, which uses your phone's GPS and camera to recreate the experience of catching wild Pokémon in real-life, debuted in 2016 and was one of the year's most used apps. Fast forward to present day and Pokémon GO is still going strong, with a devoted following, regular Community Days to look forward to as well as plenty of in-game events and updates.
