During the presentation, Hanke talked about a game that challenges players to catch Pokémon out in the actual world, Game Spot reported. The footage also shows the gameplay, which points that the location affects the type of Pokémon that can be caught as seen when the player captures Ivysaur in a grassy area.

"Pokémon Go" is a mobile game where players catch, train, and fight Pokémon like in other Pokémon titles. However, this game is integrated into reality, meaning a wild Pokémon may just be hiding in a nearby park. The description matches the initial marketing of "Pokémon Go," so fans can assume that it is indeed the upcoming game that Hanke was referring to. Discussion of the game in public aroused the anticipation of fans, as this was taken as a sign that the launch may be just around the corner.

Additionally, Niantic has started doing field tests in Japan and they are expected to do as well in other regions. However, only invited players can join, so fans who wish to participate in the tests may not be able to, PC Advisor reported.

"Pokemon Go" was speculated to be announced later this month, but the developers have not released any official statement regarding this matter. At this moment, the game is openly tagged "2016." The game will launch in iOS and Android platforms, catering only to Apple and Android users. Players will be able to download the game for free, but in-app purchases will be available.

"Pokemon Go" was announced as a game with an augmented reality setting where players themselves catch their own Pokémon. However, months have passed without additional details about the game so fans were forced to depend on speculations online to desperately know more about" Pokémon Go."
