Pokemon GO incorporates the real world's geography into its game map, allowing players to navigate a virtual representation of their actual location. Within this virtual world, players are able to explore and search for Pokemon. The game screen provides information on nearby Pokemon, with the phone vibrating as a notification when they are in close proximity. By selecting a Pokemon on the screen, players have the opportunity to capture it using a "Pixie ball." The key to success lies in accurately throwing the ball and tapping the screen at the appropriate moment. Once a Pokemon is successfully captured, it is added to the player's Pokedex. PokeStops and Gyms are additional elements in the game. PokeStops are commonly found at real world landmarks, art installations, historical markers, and similar locations, offering in-game items such as pixie balls and potions. Gyms serve as arenas where players can engage in battles between their Pokemon and those belonging to other players. Furthermore, players can obtain new Pokemon by hatching Pokemon eggs. This requires physical movement in the real world, with the game tracking the player's steps and hatching eggs after a designated number of steps are reached. This game design encourages players to actively participate in the real world, which is a prominent aspect of Pokemon GO.
