Using your Google Maps app, if you're lucky enough to "catch 'em all," you could be hired by Google. April Fools! While the job listing does not actually exist, Google announced the launch of  the Pokémon Challenge where Google Maps users could catch Pokémon character hidden throughout the world on Google Maps.  

"At Google, we seek to hire the most exception people," Google's April Fools video said. "Today we're announcing a new job role and challenge ... Pokémon Master." 

The Pokémon Challenge ends April 2 and works with both the Android and iOS version of Google Maps. 

"Dozens of wild Pokémon have taken up residence on streets, amidst forests and atop mountains throughout Google Maps," Google said. " To catch 'em all, grab your Poké Ball and the newest version of Google Maps for iPhone or Android. Then tap the search bar, 'press start,' and begin your quest."
