Almost everyone has probably heard about the most successful game of recent times – Pokemon Go!

This is a multiplayer game developed by American programmers and released on the 6th of July 2016. A feature of Pokémon Go is the imposition of virtual images on real-world images. The game encourages travelling the streets to search and hunt for Pokemon, go out and chat with other players. Thereby such common problems of youth as a sedentary lifestyle and being unsocial in the real world are overcoming in this way.

This mainstream didn’t omit Kiev as a city of new trends and activities. Nowadays the streets are full of crazy people walking with their cellphones and trying to catch a Pokemon. A lot of bloggers make videos about this game and show their proficiency. There is even a possibility to employ using a good knowledge of Pokemon Go. For example, if you have expertise in the game and appropriate experience in digital marketing, you can apply for a vacancy as a Pokemon Go expert for a 1 000$ salary.

Within a week the game became popular and gained a huge number of downloads. The number of installations in Google Play was more than 10 million, but the total number was greater because some users install specially hacked version.

According to the data of Sensor Tower company at the end of the week, the average time of daily use of Pokémon Go was more than 33 minutes. This is more than the average daily use of Facebook (22 minutes per day), Snapchat (18 minutes) and Twitter (17 minutes).

All the newspapers and online magazines in Kiev write about the game, best gamblers and new records. But Beinside decided to describe Pokemon Go in a new style. Forget about Pokemons and transform your imagination to more cultural prospects. Just imagine: you follow the route on your cell phone and instead of Pokemon you see Richard the Lionheart suddenly appears on Adriivsky descent. Is it a good idea?

Or for example, you are currently on Sophiyska square near Bogdan Khmelnytskiy monument and after a while you see him appearing in front of the monument.
