"I initially got into it because Pokémon was my thing," she said. "But I have to say, Ingress has really caught me."From speaking to people at the lure party, it seems that players who have heard the Pokemon Go hype are also turning to Ingress for a different augmented reality experience. Since Pokémon Go was released, Hokes said she'd noticed a spike in sign-ups for Niantic's original game."[Pokémon Go] is definitely drawing people in and we're seeing a lot of new recruits being signed into the Ingress game"
