Kudos to the team that made that. I'm curious if they thought to approach Nintendo and if Nintendo would have been interested (I don't think they were into mobile yet).
FYI Pokemon Go is based on (and by the same people I think) as Ingress [1] which has been around since 2013.
Although, Pokemon the challenge of the app has been scaling it due to it's instant popularity. The "find Pokemon on an actual map" part is in my opinion not the biggest challenge.
As others have pointed out, Google also had something similar.
