IBM's Watson plays pokemon - AT&T hackathon winner

Pokémon Go has quickly become one of the most used apps beating the previous record held by Candy Crush Saga. The Pokémon Go game, using augmented reality and GPS, allows players to capture, battle, and train virtual creatures, called Pokémon, who appear on device screens as though in the real world. As the game has taken over, so have the range of ways in which players can out think Pokémon. This weekend saw Michael Hsu, a front and back-end developer and part-time university lecturer in California, win the Best Use of Watson challenge at the AT&T Shape Tech Expo Hackathon in San Francisco. "I saw the Watson Visual Recognition API and wondered, what if I could get Watson to play Pokémon Go for me?"
