# Adult Anime Apps The App Lets You Enjoy a Modified Version Of Pokemon For Adults By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2016-07-06 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pokemon-for-adults References: [smh.au](http://www.smh.com.au/comment/gotcha-its-pokmon-for-grownups-20160627-gpsu28.html) & [itunes.apple](https://itunes.apple.com/nz/app/pokemon-go/id1094591345?mt=8) Pokemon GO is a brand new mobile app-based game that is perhaps best described as Pokemon for adults. The game works on the premise that there are pocket monsters lurking around the world, and it's up to you to find them. The app works in conjunction with the GPS technology on your phone to give you a notification when there's one hanging out nearby. The game guarantees a pocket monster within five minutes of anyone. Once you check out the app upon being notified, you'll see a Bulbusaur or a Pikachu on your phone superimposed into the real world thanks to your phone camera. You can then swipe the screen to capture the creature. This game may be the first Pokemon for adults, and considering the unique manner in which it colors the boring real world with pocket monster characters, there's no reason why it can't take off in a big way. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Adult-targeted Gaming Apps:** Creating mobile gaming apps that cater specifically to adult audiences, offering a modified version of popular games. - **Real-world Augmented Reality:** Developing augmented reality experiences that blend virtual characters into the real world, enhancing immersive gameplay. - **Location-based Gaming:** Exploring location-based game mechanics that encourage players to explore their surroundings and discover hidden virtual content. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Mobile Gaming:** Businesses can develop and market adult-oriented gaming apps, capturing a niche market and providing an alternative gaming experience. - **Augmented Reality:** Companies can create advanced augmented reality platforms and tools to enhance gaming experiences and engage a wider demographic. - **Location-based Services:** Service providers can capitalize on location-based gaming by incorporating gamification into their offerings, increasing user engagement and interaction. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mobile Game Performance Upgrades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-game-performance.md) - [Mobile Game Release Pranks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palworld-go.md) - [Gamified Sleep-Tracking Applications](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pokemon-sleep.md) - [Augmented Reality Hunting Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monster-hunter-now.md) - [Alien-Hunting AR Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taito.md) - [Cartoon-Inspired Game Quests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pokmon-palworld-stitch.md) - [Animated Sleep-Tracking Mobile Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pokmon-sleep.md) - [Complementary Social Gaming Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/social-ar-app.md) - [Relaxed Interactive Mobile Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pikmin-finder.md)
