And one man here lost his job for his online outburst criticising Singapore for its lack of the app.
In case you haven’t played, Pokemon Go is basically a treasure hunt.
The comment was made earlier in the month during the launch of Pokemon Go in Sydney, but on the back of the enormous success of the game, it now seems very conceivable that similar style games could follow suit. “There was also lots of hype and excitement from my friends in the United States who were showing me screenshots of the Pokemon they had caught”, said the engineering student from Ngee Ann Polytechnic.
Some speculate a Thursday launch the world over is in the offing given Apple’s App Store policies.
So from Brighton to Belfast, from Glasgow to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllanty-siliogogogoch, go download the game and wear out the soles of your shoes trying to catch “em all”. Though, even if you are able to download the game, Niantic has apparently blocked the Global Positioning System for most of China. Those with access to an American, Australian, or New Zealand iTunes account could download the game ahead of launch. Pokemon Go has taken over Tinder in terms of the number of downloads.
“It’s a fun, if shallow game that encourages people to go outside and explore their surroundings”.
It was short-lived, however, as Niantic began locking access to the servers for players here, which meant that Pokemon simply did not show up.
If you’re using the app in a public place, stay alert to what is going on around you – and who is around you. Mobile gaming is expected to increase annual operating profit by a third to 45 billion yen or $450 million.
