"Dozens of wild Pokémon have taken up residence on streets, amidst forests and atop mountains throughout Google Maps. 

To catch 'em all, grab your Poké Ball and the newest version of Google Maps for iPhone or Android. Then tap the search bar, "press start," and begin your quest."

Oh, and by the way, it may be April fools day, but there is really Pokemon on Google Maps... Open your Google Maps app on iOS or Android, and tap in the Search field, then tap "Press start". Lookout for some Pokemon in location like; the Sydney Observatory, Central Park in New York, the Googleplex, and more....

The competition may not be real, but the Pokemon are! The game ends; April 2, 2014 at 2:00 P.M. PDT. So what are you waiting for? Go catch 'em all, and become a Google Maps: Pokémon Master!!
