Pokémon Go, a new mobile augmented reality game, has swept the nation with it’s recent success. First conceived as an April Fools’ Day prank by the late Satoru Iwata, this new trend of gaming has taken the world by storm.
Plenty of people have caught on to this gaming craze, catching Pokémon and collecting items to raise these virtual pets. Even Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadivé has taken note of the game’s sudden popularity. He decided to host the first ever NBA Pokémon Go meet up. The event took place at Sleep Train Arena, but once the Golden 1 Center is completed in October, fans will be able to enjoy the game on a fast network.
