17 photos from around the world that show 'Pokémon GO' is a global phenomenon

"Pokémon GO" is a global phenomenon.

The augmented reality game, which relies on your phone's GPS and camera to create the illusion that Pokémon are all around you, requires that its users venture out into the real world in search of imaginary creatures.

"Pokémon GO" is still in the process of rolling out across the globe, so it's still not available in South America, most of Asia, or Africa. But where it is available — it's everywhere.

On the streets of New York, it's hard to go anywhere without bumping into someone on the hunt for Pokémon.

You can even get a tour through Central Park, where "Pokémon GO" experts will take you to spots filled with rare Pokémon.

Our own Alex Heath went on one of these tours — check out the photos.

Even Justin Bieber joined in on the fun.
