Fire up Google Maps on Android or iOS, start scrolling around, and soon enough you'll find one of 150 Pokémon hidden around the globe. Or head on over to where Google's Mountain View HQ is usually located and you'll see that it's become a Pokécenter instead. In practice, it might not be quite as awesome as the trailer's prank concept, but hey -- there are 150 Pokémon on your Google map, and you can catch them all before the deadline on April 2 at 2pm PDT.
