The Buzz is also about Pokemon Go. The technical jargon describes it as a free-to-play location-based augmented reality mobile game that allows players to capture, battle, and train virtual creatures, called Pokémon, who appear on device screens as though in the real world. It uses GPS and camera of compatible devices and is available for free download for iOS and Android devices. It has already broken all records with more than 30 million downloads.

The Buzz is that its creator John Hanke took 20 years to develop it and he did so as he wanted to do something about obesity in the US. He wanted Americans to get off the couch and get some exercise by playing in natural surroundings and chasing monsters in places they know.

Some countries have objected to uploads of pictures of museums, bridges and other installations, calling it a serious breach of national security. But are fans worried? No. The game is winning converts every second. Though not officially launched in India, it already has a huge fan base of people who had managed a download.It debuted in Japan yesterday to an ecstatic response.

From TV reality shows to reality mobile game. Yeh to hona hi tha.
