PokémonGO But Crypto? New Game Lets Those Who Gotta Catch ’Em All Score Dogecoin

A new crypto-based augmented reality (AR) game has popped up on the App Store, borrowing a rather familiar concept, name, and even characters to a certain other popular AR title.
DogemonGO is a mobile game which leverages the resounding success similarly AR-based mobile game PokémonGO and meme-rooted cryptocurrency Dogecoin have had. It’s still a very new game with a small following, but the developers have shared some interesting tidbits from it on the game’s Twitter page and website.
‘Dogemons’ are representative of individual currencies, such as a dog named Floki, representing Dogecoin, a lion named Bion for Binance, and Etherfant the elephant for Ethereum.
There’s also a suspiciously familiar one named Cake, who bears almost the same silhouette to a classic, instantly recognizable Pokémon, Eevee. While the others are all reminiscent somewhat of different Pokémon, this one is probably the most noticeable.

Players are able to use the AR map to catch Dogemons, and find crypto while they “prey” on other Dogemon. There is the opportunity to earn Dogecoin by playing, which can be withdrawn into an external wallet and even Soulja Boy appears to be having a great time with it.
Besides being a “fun paradise” for players, the game is also positioning itself as an “advertising paradise.” Users who own projects, tokens, coins, or even more conventional real-life spaces such as restaurants and stores can integrate them into the DogemonGO world, presumably within the AR map.

Given Nintendo’s strict policies when it comes to its property, it’ll be curious to watch further developments of this game.
