Well yeah, remember guys, this is going to be a free game with microtransactions, based on Ingress.
It's not going to be some groundbreaking VR-heavy game that will make smartphones do holograms and magic. I mean, the game will have to be very low on the data side and not drain your battery like crazy for this whole project to even make sense.
Imagine it more like a google-maps with a fancier skin and Pokemon events popping up. And then a selection of "battle scene" backgrounds that will try to resemble your current location (ie a park background when you are in a park), with the Pokemon showing up on your phone.
How complex it will actually get, is to be seen (actual battles? just pokeball throwing gimmick kind of stuff? mechanics from the core games or awful simplified "battles"? etc..), but it will be accompanied by probably nice music from Masuda.
