Where to Find the Pokemon on Google Maps

April Fools came a bit early this year with Google releasing a preview video for an awesome (albeit totally fake) augmented reality Pokemon game in which players use their smartphones to find the little critters hiding in the real world. Sadly, it’s just a prank, but luckily, it’s a really elaborate one. Google has added the ability to find Pokemon hidden all over the world on Google Maps. Simply zoom into a certain area and you might just spot one. There’s 150 in all, and Google Maps even tracks which ones you’ve caught with a Pokedex feature. Snazzy!

Join us in trying to collect all 150 (fingers crossed for some bitchin’ reward for doing so). We’ll post them as I find them below, feel free to contribute your own discoveries in the comments section.
