First of all, what is Pok\u00c3\u00a9mon GO?
\nPok\u00c3\u00a9mon GO is a mobile and tablet app game which lets players find Pok\u00c3\u00a9mon (Animated creatures, first created in the 90\u201d\u00b2s, which players have to catch, train and battle with). The game takes place in augmented reality (meaning the game combines real life action with virtual gaming) by using GPS as you walk around towns, cities and other locations to find the Pok\u00c3\u00a9mon.<\/p>\n
The game has been an overnight sensation with millions playing it around the world.<\/p>\n
Why does your church need to know?
\nYour church might be a \u201d\u02dcPok\u00c3\u00a9Stop\u2019 – real life buildings and landmarks that players have to visit to get certain items they need to play the game. Your church could also be a \u201d\u02dcGym\u2019 where players can battle their Pok\u00c3\u00a9mon. (Being Gym means people spend significantly more time battling Pok\u00c3\u00a9mon.)<\/p>\n
Pok\u00c3\u00a9mon Go is therefore giving churches around the country a great opportunity to meet people from their area who might not normally come to church.<\/p>\n
