iNaturalist as a Pokémon Go style game.

- take photos of animals/plants/fungi, upload them to iNaturalist, and submit a correct identification in order to "capture" them.

- the initial CP of your "captured pet" is determined by the most granular, correct identification you can make before other iNaturalists chimed in.

- synergies for collecting "pets" within the same taxon group or with known mutualistic symbiosis

- virtual battles between "pets", with special relative strengths/weaknesses depending on some kind of "domain" of the pets.
