See a Breakdown of How Pokemon Go Works

While Pokemon Go is available in multiple regions across the world and has still yet to see a release in Japan (among others), it’s never too late to jump into the game and see what all the hubbub is about.

DigitalFoundry has created a new video (featured above) that completely breaks down how the game’s augmented reality, GPS tracking, and even its Google Maps’ usage all created a seamless experience that allows you to experience capturing and battling Pokemon in the real world.

It’s worth mentioning the Poke Stops and Pokemon Gyms are all created from data taken from developer Niantic’s previous game, Ingress.


Pokemon Go is now available for both iOS and Android in North America and most of Europe (you’ll probably want to consult this handy list to see if its available in your region).
