In between classes, students at Grand Valley State University have been attempting to capture wild Pokémon — from Pikachu and Squirtle, to Charmander and Bulbasaur.

As thousands gather across the globe to connect through the newly released mobile game, Pokémon GO, students are being invited to attend a "Poké Party" on Tuesday, July 19, from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. around the Cook Carillon Tower on the Allendale Campus.

The event will provide students with ice cream, a phone charging station, maps of gyms and PokéStops on campus, and an open space for students and their Pokémon to battle each other at the carillon tower — one of the most popular gyms at Grand Valley.
