People from all over the world wait keenly for Google to put up its April Fool’s Day prank. In the previous years, Google had adopted a retro look with Google Maps and had even closed the operations of YouTube. This year the company is working in association with Nintendo for the Pokémon on Google Maps App Challenge.
Google has been quoted saying on the Google Maps YouTube channel that “At Google, we seek to hire the most exceptional people. Today we are announcing a new job role and challenge – Pokémon Master. Pokémon Masters are the world’s greatest digital explorers, and their passion for exploring will take our maps to the next dimension.”
