Real-Life Pokemon Game 'Pokemon GO' Leaks!
The new Pokemon game uses augmented reality to put ACTUAL Pokemon IN YOUR WORLD.
If you haven't heard of Pokémon GO yet, get out from under your rock and start getting HYPE as it looks awesome.
Pokémon GO is a multiplayer game that will work on smartphones, pitting users against each other. You'll battle your Pokémon against those of other players who are nearby in the real world using augmented reality. Win and collect more Pokémon. As always it's all about catching them all. Pretty cool, right?
The guys over at Reddit have been delicately leaking just enough details about the augmented reality iOS and Android game to get everyone excited. But without causing too many spoilers.
We already know the game is going to use the smartphone's Bluetooth connection to detect when other Pokémon GO users are near and alert you ready for battle.
What's new is that those battles will be in real time. Yup, no more turn based beat-downs. Now you dodge attacks using swipe gestures and use charge and quick attacks to take down your opponents. Each training battle is 120 seconds and the winner gets 50 exp while your gym gets prestige points.

You'll be on either the red, yellow or blue team. You'll need to select a Pokémon to defend your gym and at enemy gyms you can take on up to six Pokémon in one battle.
When it comes to catching new Pokémon, it's all about feeding wild Pokémon with berries or upgrading to a better Pokéball to increase your chances.
Pokémon GO is expected to land later this year.
