If you've been hunting for Pok�mon in the real world with the new hugely popular app, 'Pok�mon GO' for iOS and Android, you'll know how frustrating it can be to locate the nearby ones around you.

Referred by some as the 'three step bug', sometimes Pok�mon are shown on the nearby map, that simply aren't even there. 

Thanks to Pok�mon GO's API, there are now websites and apps that can help you find the exact locations of the little Pocket Monsters! 

Available on iOS and Android, PokeWhere by Vylar will become your must have Pok�mon GO companion app.

"PokeWhere is a Pokemon finder for the mobile game Pokemon Go that uses the most advanced API to give you the most accurate real time info about the Pokemon near you. The real time info is then displayed to you on the map with the exact locations of the Pokemon that have spawned near you. With PokeWhere you will never miss a beat and catch all the Pokemons.

PokeWhere is very simple to use all you have to do is press the my location button, which will bring you to where you are on the map and the Pokemons around you will show up, that's all. It will refresh as you walk. Now all you have to do now is start catching them all, it is as simple as that!" 

This app does work! It's NOT some user submitted app and because PokeWhere is in real-time, you'll know that the Pok�mon are actually there to be caught! You can even move the map around, re-pin, and do some location scouting. 

While this app is a must have for all Pok�mon Trainers, unfortunately it doesn't have the ability to search for particular Pok�mon and show you there closest location. That would be a great useful feature that hopefully someone can create. But in the meantime, download PokeWhere and find the Pok�mon near you! 

> PokeWhere is FREE to download - available for iPhone and Android phones. 

UPDATE: The company behind the game, Niantic, has disabled the ability for these live radar trackers to work. Unfortunately this app and others alike, do not work anymore.

The Pok�mon Company have announced a new smartphone game coming in 2016 that'll blend the real world and the virtual world.

The game titled 'Pok�mon GO' which is being developed by Niantic Inc, uses players location data to encourage them to search the real world to find, battle and capture Pok�mon.

"The Pok�mon video game series has used real-world locations such as the Hokkaido and Kanto regions of Japan, New York, and Paris as inspiration for the fantasy settings in which its games take place. Now the real world will be the setting!"

'Pok�mon GO' will feature many social features as players explore the outdoors, they'll be able to discover and help battle, catch, and trade Pok�mon with their friends and other players.

A small device, the Pok�mon GO Plus (developed and manufactured by Nintendo Co., Ltd.) will enable players to further play the game while not even using their smartphone. The device uses bluetooth and notifies the player about events like a nearby Pok�mon - using LED and vibration. Players can also use the device to catch Pok�mon or perform other simple actions.

'Pok�mon GO' will be available as a free download (with in-app purchases available) for iPhone and Android phones in 2016.

Pok�mon is set to release a match-3 style puzzle game, like Candy Crush Saga, Candy Mania, Bejeweled, Angry Birds Fight!, and so on... for iOS and Android devices, sometime later this year (2015).

In Pok�mon Shuffle Mobile, players will clear areas and battle wild Pok�mon by matching up Pok�mon of the same to create attacks, which you use to battle and defeat the Pok�mon, before you run out of moves. You can then try and catch it!

Game features as stated in the trailer (video above):

"Match 3 or more Pok�mon to launch an attack."
"Rack up combos to deal lots of damage."
"Catch wild Pok�mon and add them to your collection."
"Create your own team and gain experience as you play!"
"Use items and Mega Evolution for powerful effects."  

There does seem to be a mixed range of Pok�mon between new and old, judging from the trailer. It will feature the old favorites like; Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and of course Pikachu. Also, Pok�mon will gain experience and can evolve.

Pok�mon Shuffle Mobile will be FREE to download, most likely with in-app purchases - available on the iTunes App Store and Google Play Store - sometime this year.
