'Pokemon Go' rumors: game may accommodate VR functionality

Since "Pokemon Go" is receiving a lot of attention lately coming from the leaked gameplay video, some gamers and fans are speculating if Niantic would push this mobile game to adapt VR technology.
This rumor about VR and "Pokemon Go" may sound possible since consumers can easily purchase the Samsung Gear VR, which is already out in the market. This, in return, will provide a deeper experience to players because they can now play the game in a Pokemon-themed environment. Initially, the gameplay requires the user to look at their smartphone and point it in a certain direction to see the Pokemon on the screen in order to catch them. Through a VR feature, the player will experience a 360-degree view of the area, making the search for a Pokemon more fun and natural, unlike what they normally experience through a smartphone. To help gamers and fans visualize the speculated idea, here is the leaked gameplay video of the game.
For those who are unfamiliar, "Pokemon Go" is a mobile game developed by Niantic that simulates what it feels like if Pokemon can be caught in the real world. Aside from the fun, the game promotes tourism as it allows gamers to travel across countries in order to catch all the Pokemon. Gamers also need to visit Poke Stops where they can get Poke balls or other items. These Poke Stops are strategically located in art museums or tourist attractions around the area. Currently, the game is under field testing, which was initially in Japan, but is already now in New Zealand and Australia.
With all the news and buzz around the game, "Pokemon Go" could turn out to be a huge game that can accommodate almost every person in the planet. Meanwhile, gamers are highly anticipating the announcement of the release date, and are hoping that their country is chosen as the next destination for field testing.
