Gametech: Graphics that really come to life in Pokemon Go

SO, there I was, standing by the resting place of Nano Nagle, trying to catch a Jigglypuff, writes Ronan Jennings

It was beginning to rain and the damn thing just wouldn’t give up. One more try, I told myself. Then, at the tenth attempt, my pokeball landed squarely on the Jigglypuff’s head and the creature was mine.

But I wasn’t finished. Despite the rain, which was now beginning to fall like some giant Squirtle had taken revenge on me, I soldiered on. My journey to Nano Nagle’s grave had produced some useful items and the nearby Jigglypuff was now mine, but there was still so much to do. The gym I wanted to rule, stationed at St Finbarr’s Cathedral, was currently held by a rival team — the only way to beat them was to find a stronger pokemon.
