Gotta catch 'em all -- April Fool's Day jokes, that is.
April 1 has already arrived in Australia and Japan, so Google has started their yearly deluge of tech-themed pranks. This year's Google Maps prank is a throwback to classic 2000s gaming, via everyone's favorite pocket monsters.
In a new "job ad," Google created a colorful augmented reality game in which the winner earns the distinction of ultimate Pokemon Master and a position at Google.
And while some might be disappointed that this job listing doesn't actually exist, Google did at least create a mobile app game, so you can still relive your childhood Pokemon-catching days.
Android and iOS users just need to launch the Google Maps app and tap "search" to be thrown into their very own quest, complete with Pokeballs and a Pokedex for storing the different monsters that have overtaken the streets.
It's not nice to play with our feelings like this, Google, but it's alright -- we're too busy hunting for all 150 Pokemon to care.
