Pokémon Go is the newest sensation in mobile gaming, giving average citizens the chance to become Pokémon trainers. Since its release on July 6, the app has taken the nation – and Turlock – by storm, with residents hitting the city’s streets in a quest to “catch ‘em all.” The location-based augmented reality game allows players to capture, battle and train virtual Pokémon, which appear throughout the real world thanks to the use of the Global Positioning System and camera on compatible devices.
