You know, the standard "kids go into restricted places because there's a Pokemon there", "people walk off cliffs", "people walk into other stupid situations", "Koffings can be caught wild in the Holocaust Museum", "steals all the prominent locations from Niantic's previous AR game" and all that other "we're a big corporation, screw logic" stuff that happened.

But otherwise, I'm really excited! The idea is great, it's just... not too bright of an outlook from Pokemon GO's legacy.

Harry Potter: Wizards Unite (AR game) is being planned by Tomash on 2017-11-09 10:53:00 UTC Reply

The company that makes Pokémon GO announced they're making a similar game based on Harry Potter. Everything's a bit vague at the moment, but it sounds like they have the legalities in order at least.

Here's hoping this doesn't vanish into thin air during development because it sounds like a neat concept.
