Pokémon Go launches on Apple Watch — and now I want an Apple Watch

It finally makes sense to own an Apple Watch — you can now use it to capture digital Charmanders.

Pokémon Go is now available on Apple Watch, according to developer Niantic. The studio launched its location-based monster-catching game for Apple’s Smartwatch in the App Store, enabling you to manage most of the game’s mechanics without having to pull out your phone. This should make hatching and searching for pocket monsters easier than ever before. You can even log your Pokémon Go sessions as a “workout” for the watch’s built-in fitness features. This version of the app could also keep Apple Watch owners more invested in the game, which is one of the top-grossing apps of the year in the $36.6 billion mobile gaming market.
