The mega-popular smartphone game, Pokemon Go, has been the leader of augmented reality games for quite some time. The developer, Niantic, has had huge success with Pokemon Go and we have the stats to back that up.

However, let’s talk about the game for a bit first. In Pokemon Go, users are called trainers and it is their job to collect every Pokemon in the game; it is the core of the cartoon itself. Each new user (trainer) has to walk and search for new Pokemon. It is a location-based game that determines your location through your GPS.

Lately, Pokemon Go has added many features such as the infamous Team Rocket Grunts, Raids, Leagues, and more.

So without further ado, here are the most impressive stats behind Pokemon Go.
