Having trouble locating all the Poké Lab locations on the Google Maps Pokémon Challenge?
Google has teamed up with Nintendo to release a new April Fools’ Day “prank” that allows iOS and Android users to “catch” Pokémon on their Google Maps.
Apparently, those who “catch” all 150 (including Mew, 151) Pokémon will be in the running for the position of Pokémon Master in Google.
The deadline to find all 150 Pokémon is April 2, 2014 at 5:00 p.m. ET.
Google vice-president Brian Mcclendon says in the video that people who find all of the Pokémon in time will be invited to the Googleplex to participate in a final round of hiring.
Assuming its really not a hoax, the winner will start his or her job as Pokémon Master on September 1, 2014.
This feature requires the latest version of Google Maps to access. To start, just go to the Google Maps app, hit the location search, and press the blue “Start” button right underneath the search bar.
