Google has given Google Maps App users the ability to find and catch Pokemon!
Update your device so it has the latest version of Google Maps and you'll see a button that says "Press Start" next to the search bar. Once you hit it, the map will direct you to a location where you'll seek out a Pokemon.
You can catch 150 Pokemon and your Google Maps app will also act as a Pokedex. The Pokedex will record the Pokemon's type, height and weight. Once the competition is over, the top Pokemon masters will have a chance to work at Google as an intern.
The Google Maps Pokemon challenge is a Pokemon fan's dream. The added bonus of a Google internship should give you plenty of inspiration to "catch 'em all."
