“City Elves Go” is China’s take on Pokemon GO

First there was a Splatoon rip-off. Then there was a Smash Bros. clone. Pokemon GO is now the latest Nintendo-related game to have seen a different take from China.

When you search for Pokemon GO on the App Store in China, “City Elves Go” is the first thing that pops up. The game, which is at the top of the charts, obviously takes quite a bit of inspiration from Pokemon GO.

Much like Pokemon GO, City Elves Go has creatures appearing in real world locations. Players need to visit different areas to catch them. It doesn’t feature augmented reality, though.

The team behind City Elves Go says it didn’t “consider any factors from Pokémon Go” when creating the game.
