Now Playing: Pokemon GO - Explore Your Town and Catch Pokemon!

The AR game is free with microtransactions, though if you want to catch Pokemon without unlocking your phone, you can buy a $35 optional accessory. The accessory vibrates when a Pokemon is nearby, at which point you'll have to press a button to catch the creature.

If you're planning on playing Pokemon Go, it would be a good idea to check out GameSpot's article on essential facts you'll need to know before jumping in. It covers where to find Pokemon, how to hatch eggs and evolve, and the in-game Pokemon Gyms.
