Abstract

We compare here some features of the emerging uses of Pokémon GO with earlier, though less successful, location-aware collection games such as Mogi. While mobility patterns are relatively similar, Pokémon GO brings about a distinctive augmented-reality dimension to the game experience, though it does not harness the social networking power of such location-aware game platforms to the same extent as earlier games.
