The smartphone app combining augmented reality and GPS tracking has taken one of the most popular video games of the 90s into the real world. Forget fridge magnets and tea towels, travellers are collecting Pikachu and Sandshrew instead of souvenirs. Check out our Listopedia\u00a0of Pok\u00e9mon hotspots around the world to keep you in the game.<\/p>\n<h2>Circular Quay, Sydney, Australia<\/h2>\n<p>There are Pok\u00e9mon popping up all over the place in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.co.nz\/Circular-Quay-The-Rocks-Sydney-Hotels.0-n178138-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels?brandcid=blog.listopedia.pokemon_050716\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Circular Quay<\/a>, especially when thousands of Sydney-siders descend on the waterfront to join an unauthorized Pok\u00e9mon Go Walk. Thousands turned up to spend the day playing the game together last week, with the Opera House \u2018gym\u2019 (gyms are spots where you can train or fight your Pok\u00e9mon) a big drawcard. There\u2019s plenty of other spots scattered around The Rocks and the Quay.<\/p>\n<h2>Central Park, New York, United States<\/h2>\n<p>A popular tourist spot at the best of times, now expect the leafy footpaths of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.co.nz\/Central-Park-New-York-Hotels.0-n6056463-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels?brandcid=blog.listopedia.pokemon_050716\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Central Park<\/a> to be crowded with locals and visitors alike. Now you will see Pok\u00e9mon Gyms, lures and plenty of Pidgey\u2019s flying around (in the game that is).<\/p>\n<h2>State Library of Victoria, Melbourne, Australia<\/h2>\n<p>Pink petals are falling all over the place in the city \u2013\u00a0it\u2019s not actual leaves falling, it\u2019s just an abundance of Pok\u00e9mon! Sightseeing and Pok\u00e9mon Go can be an exhausting combination so take some time out and join the other players sitting on the library steps training up their Pok\u00e9mon. Don\u2019t forget to head inside to see real treasures like Ned Kelly\u2019s armour and death mask.
