This phenomenological study opens up the embodied nature of play, adding to the field’s understanding of embodiment as it manifests in a non-standardized (outside formal education) realm of human experience. The location-aware, augmented reality mobile game, Pokémon Go, provided a viable context to consider the ways the game/device, players, play spaces, and even non-players come together in lived, embodied play moments. The authors analyzed lived-experience data from 30 Pokémon Go players to better understand various possibilities for play, specifically how these possibilities were embodied in the lifeworld of players. This paper explicates two salient manifestations of the phenomenon. The first concerns the player-space-technology entanglements, detailing the simultaneous emergence of virtual and real spaces, variant modes of embodied mobility, the way players shaped physical spaces, and the emergence of human–technology relations. The second elaborates on the community that emerged among Pokémon Go players, helping to characterize embodiment as it permeates social and cultural aspects of play. The phenomenological insights explicated here provide explanatory power that has the potential to inform ludology and game studies while further grounding and extending the work of embodied cognitive scientists, possibly contributing to social accounts of embodiment.

这项现象学研究开辟了游戏的体现性，增加了该领域对体现的理解，因为它体现在人类体验的非标准化（外部正规教育）领域之外。具有位置感知功能的增强现实手游PokémonGo提供了一个可行的环境，可以考虑游戏/设备，玩家，游戏空间，甚至是非玩家如何在生动，具体的游戏时刻聚在一起。作者分析了30个神奇宝贝Go的生活经验数据玩家可以更好地理解各种游戏可能性，尤其是这些可能性在玩家的生活世界中是如何体现的。本文阐述了该现象的两个明显表现。第一个涉及玩家与空间技术的纠缠，详细介绍了虚拟空间和真实空间的同时出现，体现的移动性的各种模式，玩家塑造物理空间的方式以及人与技术之间关系的出现。神奇宝贝围棋中出现的第二个关于社区的细节玩家，有助于体现渗透在游戏的社会和文化方面的体现。此处阐述的现象学见解提供了解释力，它有可能为路德学和博弈研究提供信息，同时进一步扎根和扩展具体化的认知科学家的工作，可能有助于体现社会性。
