We heard yesterday that Niantic is looking into sponsored locations for Pokemon GO. Based on what folks have found after digging through the game’s code, McDonald’s may be up first. Australian student Manu Gill came across a reference to the fast food restaurant, while Redditor KcYoung discovered the actual logo.

Aside from McDonald’s, a few other interesting elements are buried within Pokemon GO’s code. This includes legendary monsters, a trading system, four additional types of berries and incense, an item called “sweet honey,” and natures like “stoic” and “raider”. Only time will tell what it all means!

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.
