Apple has updated the Siri response database with some light-hearted remarks for users asking about the wildly popular Pokémon Go mobile game.
Most Pokémon Go-related queries will result in Siri launching the game. However, users asking Siri "Do you like Pokémon Go?" will be met with one of ten responses.
Responses given by Siri include:
- "Chance! Go!"
- "Confining virtual beings inside powerful devices makes me feel funny for some reason."
- "I like playing peekaboo with Pikachu."
- "I like pocket monsters. Pocket assistants, too."
- "I've been looking in the muck for Muk."
- "Just make sure to look both ways. And up and down, too."
- "Oh, is that why everyone keeps asking what color a Geodude is?"
- "Of course. That's what it's all about. Oh, wait, that's the hoké Pokémon."
- "PokéStop!"
- "Snorlax. Zzzz. Sorry, what was the question?"
