According to Google's global trends report released Wednesday, the augmented reality game from Nintendo was the most-searched item online in 2016.
Trump was number three among the most-searched topics for the year, behind the iPhone 7 and ahead of rock icon Prince, who died in April.
But Trump topped the list of the most-searched people for the year, ahead of his campaign rival Hillary Clinton, Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, Trump's wife Melania and gold medal gymnast Simone Biles, Google said.
Google publishes its global list each year along with trends from different countries, offering insights into the interests of internet users around the globe.

In global sports events, internet users searched most for the Olympics, followed by the baseball World Series, the Tour de France, Wimbledon and the Australian Open tennis tournament.
