Pokémon Stop is the first Paper Computer Game about the Pokémon franchise. It's also the first augmented reality PCG.
The game is similar to the video games, in that the player must travel the world and collect Pokémon, using them to battle other Pokémon and solve puzzles.
Story[]
The player is Gash Ketchum, the cousin of Ash Ketchum. Inspired to be a Pokémon trainer by his cousin, Gash chooses his starting Pokémon and sets out on his journey. He must collect three badges by defeating gym trainers from different areas of the region.
Gameplay[]
Unlike a traditional PCG, the Inventory Screen is limited to carrying Pokéballs and other equipment bought from shops. Instead, the player must use Pokémon as a sort of inventory to solve puzzles.
There are also Pokémon battles, in which the player battles either another trainer or a wild Pokémon. The outcomes of these battles are determined by the Pokémon's abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. There's no actual combat system, and no numbers.
Augmented Reality[]
The game's augmented reality component mirrors that of Pokémon Go: throughout the traditional part of the PCG, the player can find Location Keys. These are actual intersections or locations from the real world. The player must physically walk to them. Once he gets there, he will find a screen hidden at that location; the screen indicates where the Pokémon are within sight of that screen. The player can then catch the Pokémon.
