Pokemon Spinoff Comes to Android 18 Months After iOS Release

Almost 18 months after its release for iOS devices in October 2014, Pokemon spinoff game Camp Pokemon is now available for Android, The Pokemon Company announced today. The free game is aimed at children and sees players virtually travel to "Camp Pokemon" where they take part in all manner of Pokemon-themed activities on their way to becoming Pokemon Trainers.

Some of the activities in Camp Pokemon include mini-games focused on how to find Pokemon in the wild, as well as the proper Poke Ball-throwing technique to catch them. Players will also learn about the evolution chains of Pokemon, in addition to basics about matchups. For completing activities, players will earn Pokemon Pins for their virtual pin book, as well as various rewards that unlock new levels of activities.

Camp Pokemon also features a virtual photo booth where players can take and save photos of themselves using their device's camera. They can then decorate these photos with Pokemon-themed stickers that are earned through gameplay.

You can grab the game on Android right here from the Google Play store. There is no word on a version of Camp Pokemon for Windows devices.

Camp Pokemon is the latest Pokemon game available for mobile devices. It follows Pokemon TV, Pokemon TCG Online, Pokemon Shuffle, and Pokedex. One of the next big ones is Pokemon Go, which is due to launch later this year for iOS and Android devices.
