U Mobile Sdn Bhd is now running a Pokemon Go contest for its subscribers. Contest prizes include ten (10) iPhone 6s, RM42,000 worth of postpaid and prepaid credits as well as powerbanks to the winners of its ‘Power-Up for Pokemon Go’ contest.
Pokemon Go is a free-to-play, location-based augmented reality game developed by Niantic for iOS and Android devices. Pokemon GO allows a player (Trainer) to find and catch more than a hundred species of Pokemon as they explore their surroundings.
The U Mobile Pokemon Go contest will run over a period of two (2) weeks starting from 10th August 2016 to 23rd August 2016.
U Mobile will have lures set up during the two (2) week contest period so that the number of Pokemon characters at selected Pokestops will increase. Pokestop locations (marked in-game by blue squares) allows the players to gather in-game items — such as Eggs, Poke Balls, Potions, and more. These locations will be announced to customers via social media.
