In honor of the annual prank celebration known as April Fools Day on the first of the month, numerous tech companies from around the world participate in gags and hoaxes as it tries to fool millions of unsuspecting people.

This year Google is using the help of the popular animated series, card and video game Pokemon in its Pokemon Challenge on Google Maps, according to the Los Angeles Times.

On Monday, Google's Japanese blog posted a video announcement of the company's newest position as Pokemon Master. In order to get the job, smarphone users must download an updated version of Google Maps on their iPhones and Androids to participate in the challenge.

Vice President of Google Maps Brian McClendon said the winner and collector of all 150 Pokemon would start the job September 1 at the company's Googleplex site in Silicon Valley.

"It's always been important for us to have the most qualified employees at Google," he said. "We've prepared the most rigorous test known to man to find the world's best Pokemon master."

The challenge allows users to go around and catch Pokemon. The recruit who catches all 150 Pokemon found in the game would earn the esteemed position at Google.

Although the game is certainly real and users from around the world can play, the job, however, is part of the Google's April Fools prank as the deadline to apply for the position is April 2.

The end of the video came with the disclaimer instructing users to not play the game while driving or operating heavy machinery but also added that, "Our hiring committee must first battle to determine who can best judge the Pokemon Master. The battle date has yet to be set, so the role of Pokemon Master is not yet available."

The Times also reported that Google is no stranger to April Fools pranks as last year it advertised the "Google Nose" search service, which creates artificial scents for users.

In recent years, Twitter, Sony and YouTube have joined the fun as well. Last year, Twitter planned on launching it's new all-consonant service while Sony said it was releasing a line of tech products geared for pets.

During the next 24 hours, the tech giants and many more are expected to make other announcements for bogus devices, services and gags.
