Pokémon Go Turns Ten: Real-world Adventures Forge a Global Gaming Community

Pokémon Go marks its 10th anniversary as a billion-download mobile game that merges GPS with AR to place virtual creatures in the real world. The title has built a global, real-life community with events in over 60 countries, hundreds of thousands of attendees annually, and stories of players forming friendships and even relationships through raids and meetups. Players have logged an estimated 100 billion kilometres exploring the world for Pokémon, while the game weathered glitches and pandemic-era shifts, and its future has been nudged by Scopely’s acquisition of Niantic in 2025, signaling ongoing evolution for the franchise.
