Theworld has embraced Pokemon GOwith a quite surprising fervour. Malaysians can now
be seen looking at their smartphones -more so than normal - in their hunt for the elusive
Pikachu.

reated
in 1995, Pokemon
began as a video game for the
humble Nintendo Game Boy
handheld called Pokemon
Red. This new version has
set the world on fire and Fireflyz shares
some fun and weird facts about this game.
Its players are getting a lot of
exercise
Even though Pokemon will appear
randomly around your house, players
know that the way to get the best use of
the game is to venture into the outside
world. As they wander around, Pokemon
appear on their GPS map. Then the game
switches to a real-world view—provided
by the phone’s front camera—with your
target animated onto the real terrain.
Players then throw balls at their targets—
“Pokeballs,” of course—which capture
and contain them.
