So, it is that day of the year again, and this time Google really outdid themselves, if you ask me.
And trust me, you'll LOVE this if you've ever been a Pokemon fan :sohappy:
In (non-augmented) reality, you can pan around the map, zoom in, and catch Pokémon on the iOS and Android versions of Google Maps. Once you find a pocket monster hiding on the map, tapping on it will invoke a prompt — complete with a Poké Ball — that will allow you to capture the critter and fill out your Pokédex.

Read the rest here:

Basically: Open Google Maps on your smartphone and start zooming in and panning around. There are plenty to catch, so let's get going!
