Game Update: Pokemon Go - First Look???

Last September Nintendo and the Pokemon Company announced the new project titled Pokemon Go. Together with the team behind the sci-fi mobile game Ingress, Niantic Labs, the game aims to bring Pokemon into the real world with the use of real-world maps, cities, and scenery - aka 'augmented reality'. Not much has been given to us in regards to details about the project, but a new leaked video (above) could possibly be a first look at what the game may look like.

The video was taken during a SXSW talk by John Hanke, CEO of Niantic Labs. The video shows a quick and brief look at the in-game map and a user catching a found Ivysaur with multiple different Pokeballs.

Like it's augmented reality predecessor Ingress, Pokemon GO will have players venturing out into the real world, using location data to determine where various Pokemon can be found and caught. The game doesn't have a release date yet, but is expected to launch sometime this year on both iOS and Android.
