"To begin the challenge, open the Google Maps app and hit “Search,” where you’ll see a “Start” option with a Poke Ball icon. Pokemon sprites will begin to appear all over the map and you can begin to capture them. Like the real games, you can track your progress with a built-in Pokedex."

Man, that's a sweet april fools joke. The dex is all over the place with what pokemon it has in it. Kinda weird.

It's not a complete Pokédex. They pulled stuff from all 6 generations.
Here's a hint to finding Pokémon: Check around famous landmarks and locations related to Pokémon or Nintendo.

Gave up on finding Mew.
No Mew found.
Guess I'll have to work on getting a job at Google the old fashioned way. :B

Never ended up finding Mew. I wasn't going to comb the amazon for her. D:<
