==Gameplay==

Different [[List of Pokémon|Pokémon]] live in different areas of the world; for example, [[Gameplay of Pokémon#Pokémon types|water-type]] Pokémon are found near water. A wristband device called the Pokémon Go Plus will be available for use with the app, enabling a more heads-up gaming experience than [[Ingress (video game)|Ingress]] provides.{{cn|date=July 2016}} The device uses Bluetooth technology to connect with the players smart device and uses vibration and a flashing light to alert the player of the presence of a nearby Pokémon. The player throws balls at the Pokemon in order to catch them. There are two modes: AR and non-AR. In AR mode, the player captures Pokemon using the phone's camera, in non-AR, the player throws [[pokèball]]s at [[Pokèmon]] to capture them.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://venturebeat.com/2015/12/16/how-niantic-will-marry-animated-characters-with-mobile-location-data-in-pokemon-go/|title=How Pokémon Go will benefit from Niantic's lessons from Ingress on location-based game design |work=[[VentureBeat]]|first=Dean|last=Takahashi|date=December 16, 2015|accessdate=June 16, 2016}}</ref>

==Development==
The idea for the game was conceived in 2013 by [[Satoru Iwata]] of [[Nintendo]] and Tsunekazu Ishihara of [[The Pokémon Company]] as an [[April Fools' Day]] collaboration with [[Google]] called Pokémon Challenge,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cnet.com/news/googles-april-fools-prank-puts-pokemon-in-the-real-world/|title=Google's April Fools' prank puts Pokemon in the real world|publisher=[[CNET]]}}</ref> with Tatsuo Nomura of [[Google Maps]], who then became a senior project manager at Niantic, at the center of the project.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.engadget.com/2016/06/10/living-the-trainer-life-with-pokemon-go/|publisher=[[Engadget]]|title=Living the trainer life with 'Pokémon Go'}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqbsdqjgj-k|title=Pokémon GO - Demonstration - Nintendo E3 2016 |website=[[YouTube]]|publisher=[[Nintendo]]|at=3m 26s}}</ref> In 2015, Ishihara dedicated his speech at the game's announcement on September 10 to Iwata, who had died two months earlier.<ref name="Announcement details">{{cite web |url=http://www.geeksnack.com/2015/09/10/pokemon-go-is-brought-up-into-the-real-world-through-ios-and-android/ |title=Pokémon go is brought up into the real world through iOS and Android |publisher=GeekSnack |accessdate=September 17, 2015}}</ref> The decision to create the Go Plus rather than create a [[smart watch]] app was to increase uptake among players for whom a smart watch is prohibitively expensive.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.polygon.com/a/smartwatch-history-guide-evolution/watch-future|title=Watch Future - Time killers: The strange history of wrist gaming|work=[[Polygon (website)|Polygon]]|first=Brian|last= Crecente|date=July 12, 2015|accessdate=June 16, 2016}}</ref>

==Early life==
{{prose|date=March 2015}}
Mark Fischbach was born on an [[United States|American]] military base in [[O'ahu]], [[Hawaii]] on June 28, 1989. He is the younger brother of webcomic author and artist Thomas Jason Fischbach (known for the popular webcomic ''TwoKinds''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://twokinds.keenspot.com/|title=Twokinds - 11 Years on the Net!|work=keenspot.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=About - Twokinds - 10 Years on the Net!|url=http://twokinds.keenspot.com/?p=about|accessdate=9 November 2014}}</ref>).

Shortly after Fischbach was born, his father retired from the Army and started working at [[Cigna]], and his parents moved to [[Cincinnati]], [[Ohio]], where his father found a job as an artist for a publishing company.

Fischbach's father introduced him to computers at a young age. Fischbach was immediately hooked, although he first expressed a serious interest in [[video gaming]] after being introduced to a [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] that his brother received for [[Christmas]].<ref>{{cite web|title=The-Back-Story-of-Markiplier|url=http://www.quotev.com/story/5255637/The-Back-Story-of-Markiplier/1/|publisher=QuoteV|date=11 August 2014}}</ref><ref>[[Draw My Life]]</ref>

Fischbach used a tax refund to purchase a camera and started a YouTube channel under the name Markiplier.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Sl-1X58ObY|title=Draw My Life - Markiplier|work=YouTube}}</ref>

==Career==
{{BLP sources section|date=March 2015}}

===Internet videos===
Fischbach first joined YouTube on May 26, 2012, creating a channel under the name of Markiplier. Fischbach's first uploaded video, titled "''Amnesia'' Reaction Compilation", consists of Fischbach's reactions while commentating on the horror video game, ''[[Amnesia: The Dark Descent]]''. As of January 2015, the video has garnered over 814,650 views.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHPu7Ihz0uc|title=Amnesia Reaction Compilation|work=Markiplier|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=December 23, 2013}}</ref> Shortly afterwards, YouTube banned Fischbach's AdSense account. Fischbach appealed to YouTube as a last effort, but the appeal was ultimately lost.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/user/markiplier|title=www.youtube.com/user/markiplier|publisher=YouTube}}</ref> Because of this, a new and current channel was created and dubbed MarkiplierGAME. This account has a rapidly growing population and consists of over six million subscribers and 1.77 ''billion'' total views as of March 2015, and he has also been able to change the display name from "MarkiplierGAME" to the name of "Markiplier", however the user name of the account is still "MarkiplierGAME".

In 2014, Fischbach's YouTube Channel, Markiplier, was listed on [[New Media Rockstars]] Top 100 Channels, ranked at #61.<ref>{{cite web|title=The NMR Top 100 YouTube Channels: 75-51!|url= http://newmediarockstars.com/2014/12/the-nmr-top-100-youtube-channels-75-51/|website=New Media Rockstars|accessdate=6 January 2015}}</ref>

====Prominent video game commentaries====

=====''Slender: The Eight Pages''=====
Some of Fischbach's most popular videos are those of his ''[[Slender: The Eight Pages]]'' gameplay commentaries.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.youtube.com/user/markiplierGAME/videos?flow=grid&sort=p&view=0|title=Markiplier - Uploads: Most Popular|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=December 23, 2013}}</ref> He has covered many various ''Slender'' variations, including ''Prison'', ''Claustrophobia'', ''Hospice'', ''7th Street'', ''Mansion'', and more. After multiple attempts, he dedicated a few of his videos to a serious playthrough of ''Slender: Haunt'', which he eventually completed. He has yet to complete the original ''Slender: The Eight Pages'', ''[[Slender: The Arrival]]''{{'}}s bonus level Genesis, ''Anxiety'', ''Flashlight'', ''Carnival'', and ''Christmas Special'', the last of which he once said is truly horrifying in its own way, while also "destroying his childhood". Mark has considered Slender: The Eight Pages to be the scariest Slender game thus far.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYoJlZX5mG0|title=Slender: Christmas Special|work=Markiplier|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=December 23, 2013}}</ref>

=====''Drunk Minecraft''=====
Fischbach’s first episode of ''Drunk Minecraft'' was uploaded to his channel on August 8, 2012, and rapidly became a fan favorite, as well as his most extensive series. The series is mainly centered around Fischbach, along with his two friends Bob "muyskerm" and Wade "Lordminion777", playing ''[[Minecraft]]'' while [[Alcohol intoxication|intoxicated]]. Its first season consisted of 32 episodes, and ran until early December 2012. After multiple requests, Fischbach uploaded the first episode of its second season on March 21, 2013. During the run of the second season, Fischbach, Bob & Wade added objectives to complete competitively, in order to become the "winner" of the episode. It has not been announced how long the second season will run for; however, Fischbach revealed during a Q&A session that ''Drunk Minecraft'' would be interrupted, as ''Drunk Minecraft'' member, Bob, moved away with the intention of finishing [[law school]]. The series returned on October 27, 2013, with an episode titled "DON'T KILL THE CHICKEN." It has since stopped being identified numerically (with older season 2 episodes losing their numbers in their titles). It returned again on September 19, 2014. The ''Drunk Minecraft'' series currently consists of 66 episodes.

=====''Amnesia'' series=====
Often citing ''[[Amnesia: The Dark Descent]]'' as a truly terrifying game, Fischbach has dedicated many of his videos to gameplay commentary of both ''Amnesia: The Dark Descent'', and customized stories made for the game.

So far, his most acclaimed custom story playthroughs are of ''The Things in the Night'' and ''The Great Work'', as well as the game's 'official' sequel, ''[[Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs]]''.

The custom story, "A Late Night Drink," introduces his well known character, Tiny Box Tim.

The very first video Fischbach ever uploaded was titled ''Amnesia Reaction Compilation'' which was a video that included clips of him playing ''Amnesia: The Dark Descent'' and supplying commentary to the game.

=====''SCP - Containment Breach''=====
Fischbach's ''[[SCP - Containment Breach]]'' playthrough is easily one of his most extensive; as of December 2014, he has uploaded 47 episodes of the official version, along with various episodes of modded variations. He has also played a fan-made mod of the game, with which all in-game textures, sound effects, and audio tracks had been replaced with references to Fischbach's channel. After the release of version 0.7.1, Fischbach resumed filming gameplay videos of ''SCP - Containment Breach''. He had previously stated that ''SCP - Containment Breach'' had given him difficulty focusing, and scared him more than most horror video games he had played. After another halt, Fischbach resumed again, with the release of version 0.8 and (later on) 1.0. He has stated it to be one of his favorite horror games, and still plays it whenever a major update to the game is released.

=====''Five Nights at Freddy's''=====
Perhaps his most popular series of playthroughs is that of ''[[Five Nights at Freddy's]]''. He recorded three videos completing the main levels of the game, and released a fourth to test out and play through the game's two bonus levels, Night 6 and "Custom Night". A fifth video showing his successful completion of the Custom Night's hardest mode, with all enemies at their maximum AI level of 20, was also released. The first video's title and Fischbach himself stated that it was the scariest game he has played since ''Slender: The Eight Pages'', and his initial play through of the game not only became one of his most-viewed videos, but is also widely credited with boosting the game's popularity, to the point where many other Let's Players on YouTube also played the game.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOztnsBPrAA|title=WARNING: SCARIEST GAME IN YEARS/Five Night's at Freddy's|work=Markiplier|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=August 12, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YT1NhLTwwEg|title=IT GETS EVEN WORSE!!/Five Night's at Freddy's/Part2|work=Markiplier|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=August 13, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXtVrNdD3YA|title=Five Night's at Freddy's ENDING|work=Markiplier|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=August 15, 2014}}</ref> On January 5th, 2015, Fischbach released another gameplay video of the first game considering it a "lost episode", in which it showcased him completing the demo, which was followed by a quick compilation of the game's jumpscares and with the first teaser image of ''Five Nights at Freddy's 3'' ending the video.

When the game's sequel, ''[[Five Nights at Freddy's 2]]'' was released in November 2014, he once again uploaded videos of him playing through it. He first uploaded five videos of him playing the five main levels of the game, then a sixth video of him playing the bonus Night 6, and then a seventh video of him completing the "Custom Night" on ''Golden Freddy Mode'', in which all 10 of the enemies have their AI at the maximum level of 20. He has stated ''Five Nights at Freddy's 2'' to be the "Scariest Game Ever Made",<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60wLvPWXCCc|title=SCARIEST GAME EVER MADE/Five Nights at Freddy's 2/Part1|work=Markiplier|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=December 25, 2014}}</ref> hinting that he found it even scarier than its predecessor. In his final video of the game, he stated that in the event that a third game in the ''Five Nights at Freddy's'' series was released (which had been hinted at by the developer), he would be sure to play it upon the fans' requests.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9qPj-YJcN8&list=PL3tRBEVW0hiDL09lO0xjKEix84OY27xet&index=16|title=Five Nights at Freddy's 2: 10/20 Mode COMPLETE!!|work=Markiplier|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=December 25, 2014}}</ref>

Upon release of the third game, ''[[Five Nights at Freddy's 3]]'', in March 2015, Fischbach was granted early access to an extended demo by the developer, and uploaded a video of him playing the demo.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BB_4BnQe-qc |title = WARNING: YOU WILL DIE/Five Nights at Freddy's 3/Part 1 |work = Markiplier |publisher = YouTube |accessdate = March 7, 2015}}</ref> When the full game was released to the public a few hours later, he then uploaded three more videos depicting him playing through the first five nights, followed by a fifth video of him completing the bonus sixth night, entitled ''"Nightmare"''. Fischbach then uploaded a sixth video of him completing the "Good Ending" of the game, through which he had to replay the entirety of the first five nights and complete various hidden minigames and Easter eggs. A few days later, he then uploaded a video of him completing the hardest possible difficulty, which is ''Nightmare'' combined with the "Aggressive" cheat (which makes the animatronic far more aggressive, making the night very difficult). Upon completion of his final few videos, Fischbach has stated the ''Five Nights at Freddy's'' series to be one of his favorites, and he believed that the trilogy is as complete as it should be, and that there should not be any future sequels.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b0S0S9wUxk |title = ALL SECRETS REVEALED (Good Ending)/Five Nights at Freddy's 3/Part 6 |work = Markiplier |publisher = YouTube |accessdate = March 8, 2015}}</ref>

=====Indie horror games=====
Fischbach has played various indie horror games, having dedicated an entire playlist to them. He often takes suggestions from his subscribers, as well as finding them out himself.

Though he had received requests to play games built using [[RPG Maker]], such as [[Ib (game)|Ib]] or ''Mad Father'', he had stated that he felt that such games are "silly, and aren't really his style". However, due to positive comments and reviews of the [[role-playing game]], ''[[The Witch's House]]'', Fischbach decided to begin a playthrough. Since ''The Witch's House'', Fischbach has played ''Paranoiac'', ''Mad Father'', ''Ib'', ''Corpse Party'', ''Off'', ''To The Moon'' (not a horror game), and ''Misao''; and has asked his subscribers for more suggestions.
