Pokemon Go is an augmented reality game that has unleashed every millennial’s inner eight-year-old. The new mobile game has swept across the nation and has amassed 7.5 million downloads in the United States in less than a week.
Now, Montclair State University has decided to get in on the fun. Montclair State unexpectedly blasted out a Pokemon Go campus map through Red Hawk News on Tuesday. It’s a fully detailed map with all of the PokeStops and Gyms at Montclair State.
There are PokeStops at the Amphitheater, College Hall and Morehead Hall.

A full version of the map, complete with all of the PokeStops and Gyms on campus, can be found here.
The game is everywhere. Are you confused when  see a group of four teens actually walking outside? They are probably playing Pokemon Go. Have you seen people aimlessly walking with their phone, and not known why? They are probably playing Pokemon Go.
Pokemon Go uses the phone’s GPS to display a virtual map. Pokemon are displayed on a player’s map depending on their location and the time of day. The game utilizes the phone’s camera to display Pokemon in the real world, and then players fling Pokeballs in an attempt to capture the Pokemon.
It’s not a complete Pokemon experience. Pokemon Go doesn’t allow players to battle each other and the combat mechanics are nothing like the actual Pokemon games.
Still, it gives players a chance to recapture their childhood.
