The augmented reality mobile game Pokémon Go was released in July 2016 on both Android and iOS platforms. It utilizes internal GPS tracking system in order to find and catch Pokémon in real-time. The system places in-game locations such as Gyms and Pokéstops in predetermined locations (such as landmarks) throughout the real world in order to get the player active and become a Pokémon trainer in real life. The Pokémon themselves spawn randomly, with some conditions; nocturnal Pokémon have a higher chance to spawn at night, and water type pokémon may spawn close to water. Gyms are used to battle and train Pokémon against other players in the area, and nearby PokéStops give free items when spun (they have a 5-minute cooldown per use). It originally featured all Generation 1 Pokémon. In February 2017, Generation 2 Pokémon were added excluding the legendaries of the region, including Suicune, Raikou, Entei, Celebi, Lugia, and Ho-Oh.
