Battle Pokemon in real life (well, sorta)

Hello trainers! Now, tell me. When you're running around in the Pokemon universe, do you ever wish you could battle Pokemon for real? Of course you have (unless the Pokemon felt pain from their battling, in which case it wouldn't be worth it). Well, now you can[ish]! Well, ok you can't exactly do it in real life. But a new fan project called Pokemon VR is getting us one step closer!

Pokémon In Virtual Reality Brings Battles To Oculus Rift

They are programming their own application for the Oculus Rift. While it may not be perfect, it's very impressive. The way it is made, the graphics are seamlessly 3D and looks as if you're right there in the Pokemon world. It isn't perfect, and is a little shaky, but the idea seems pretty cool. I really want Oculus to make some sort of glove or sleeve that would let you control the game with your arm and hand instead of a controller, but I'll give that some time.

Overall I think this is really cool and is the beginning to being able to play your favorite video games in (what appears as) real life. Thanks for reading, and check out the video below for more info (although I have not watched it the whole way through so there is a small possibility that it may not be 100% perfectly clean, although I doubt it would have anything bad).
