This mode came to Apple iOS last December and makes Pokemon scale in size and react as players approach, so you can tower over Psyduck or be awed by Dragonite.

The augmented reality mobile game, which was released in July 2016, took a jump in popularity over this past summer after losing steam for quite a while. It grossed almost $85 million in September alone, according to Sensor Tower. It also hit $2 billion in in-app purchases that month.
