The popular mobile game Pokemon Go is now available on the Apple Watch, squashing rumours that the game's maker was scrapping the plans.
The game involves catching Pokemon's in an augmented reality version of your surroundings. The Apple Watch version will let you discover nearby Pokemon and collect special items, such as potions, from nearby PokeStops. But once you encounter a Pokemon, you will need to use your iPhone to catch it.

Still, the Apple Watch should make it easier for players to log their steps needed to hatch eggs, and to avoid walking around with their phones held out to search for nearby Pokemons.
Pokemon Go was a huge success when it came out in July. Plans for the watch version had been announced at Apple's iPhone launch event in September. And only recently it was said to have been scrapped, but Niantic had given the players an hope, by tweeting out that the Apple Watch version was in the making.
The game's maker, Niantic, hasn't announced any plans for Android Wear and Samsung Gear smartwatches.
