Pokémon – Since it's April 1st in Japan, the old April Fool's Day is here too. Google has pulled off a fun prank by spreading Pokémon around Google Maps, allowing users to search for their favorite mascot.

To participate, users need to update their Maps app on either Android or iOS. Then, simply tap the service's search bar and select " Press Start ."

By doing so, the person is directed to the “Pokémon Laboratory”, which is actually a pixel art image placed over a scientific research area near the user.

Check out the Pokémon game trailer:
