Google Launches Mobile Pokémon Mini-Game Featuring Original 151 Kanto Creatures

The interactive game, accessible through Google Search on mobile devices, lets users catch Pokémon and complete a virtual Pokédex tied to their Google accounts.

The new mobile-exclusive game allows players to catch all 151 original Pokémon from the Kanto region by searching their names on Google.
Progress is saved via users' Google accounts, with a virtual Pokédex tracking captured Pokémon and offering hints through a 'Who's That Pokémon?' feature.
Legendary and Mythical Pokémon require Master Balls to catch, which are earned by reaching milestone numbers of Pokémon caught (e.g., 5, 20, 50, 100, and 150).
The game is a nostalgic nod to the original Pokémon games and aligns with Google's trend of integrating playful, interactive features into its platform.
This collaboration follows a surge in Pokémon-related searches earlier this year and builds on previous partnerships between Google and The Pokémon Company.
