it is actually on the iOS and android app. it's an april fools joke, but they actually implemented it. Fun to mess around with, just search various iconic locations, like mt. everest, pompeii, tokyo tower, wall street. you'll find em

locations of all of them.

I'm at 103 and starting to run out of spots to look so I might just have to cheat and use the list if I want to finish this. Some really random placement - makes me wonder who the hell placed these.

I can't find any in China, and you'd figure there'd be one at the Forbidden City at least. One on a random volcano in Kamchatka (but not the biggest one), when you'd think it'd be one on Fuji. Random one on the north end of Great Slave Lake... makes me wonder if I can ever actually find the last 47 on my own. I'm sure there's at least one in the Bay area (or CERN/Sydney/Tokyo) I missed as well.

And yes, this IS what I am doing at 11:42am on a Tuesday.

there are a FUCKTON in tokyo, theres apparently some along the great wall, shaolin temple, CERN, NHL team cities in canada (minus vancouver) quebec city, panama canal, santiago, buckingham palace, new york, think major internationally known locations (or things that SHOULD be internationally known minus what north americans seem to not know for one reason or another.)

my friend beat it last night, all 151, and yes, once you get 150 they toss in mew for you to find, but i wont spoil that location for you, but if you know pokemon, its pretty straightforward where youd find it
