Niantic's augmented reality mobile game
Pokémon Go has been immensely popular since its initial release in 2016. This is due to the many features the game employs as well as the constantly shifting events and regular stream of updates to the game.
One of the most interesting aspects of playing
Pokémon Go and exploring is seeing what kind of Pokéstops there are in the game. In addition to the in-game rewards given to trainers for spinning these blue discs, players get to look and see what geographical locations have drawn them there in the first place. This brings people to notice things in their area and when exploring on vacation to see new pieces of art or historic locations.
Niantic recently rolled out a new feature which will allow players who are level 40 in the game to suggest and review Pokéstops, which is something that has long been asked for by trainers - but it was immediately dropped due to the "overwhelming response" that the game received. While waiting for it to roll back out, we take a look at one of the absolutely coolest stops there is, located in Dallas, TX. Check it out below.

The mural was done by graffiti artist Kid N.E.S. (as evidenced in the name on the mural itself) and recently it started doing the rounds on the web again following a reddit post of a player who happened up it durinig their Pokémon Go experience. Imagine walking down the street with your nose in your phone and missing out on seeing this?
Fans will recognise the scene to be from Pokémon Yellow, one of the first titles in the franchise, and it depicts the ultimate battle capturing the ultimate creature - Mewtwo. There is even an image of the Pokéstop icon to show players the purpose of the mural, so when fans stop to admire it they will be prompted to take out their phones and log into the game again.
What do you think of this mural? Have you seen a cooler stop than this one? And have you taken the time to try the new buddy adventure feature yet? Your Pokémon companion can now join you on the map bringing along a bevy of features such as feeding your friend and having them join you when capturing.
