Google has introduced a new widget for mobile users that allows them to catch original Pokémon by searching their names. Users tapping the Poké Ball button can complete a Google-based Pokédex for the first 151 Pokémon. This feature records catching progress and presents clues for untracked Pokémon. Legendary Pokémon require special Master Balls, earned by catching regular Pokémon. Despite the absence of stated rewards, the game caters to users’ completionist instincts, coinciding with a notable increase in Pokémon-related searches this year.
