Pokemon GO has launched in Australia and New Zealand, but there’s no word yet about when the augmented reality game will launch in other regions.

This was the promise of Pokemon GO – an experience that would take advantage of recent augmented reality breakthroughs to use our smartphones as portals into the Pokemon world. From there you can capture, train and battle with them, even teaming up with friends and family to become part of a local Gym and battle for control of it.
We get it, you’re having fun and we can not download it yet, because we live in America – the land where Pokemons don’t like to grace first (fat tears rolling down our faces now). But only a few days passed since the start of July and the Pokemon company already released Pokemon Go.
“While other countries bemoan the non-availability of Pokémon Go, a virtual multimedia game that allows users to catch Pokémon characters located in the”‘real world”, Australian gamers are on a thrilling journey to “catch ’em all”. In case you weren’t able to get into the beta a while ago, you now have the opportunity to play the latest game from Niantic Labs.
Pokémon Go launched today on the Apple App Store and Google Play worldwide. However, there is a way to acquire the game on Android devices and it is pretty easy to do. However, for those who are interested in catching a Pokemon without the burden of unlocking their phones, they simply need to avail the $35 optional accessory. Also, the servers are presently taking a pounding, so while it may seem appealing to download and load up the app right this very second, you may want to exercise a bit of patience!
I suggest going to these sites on the phone that you’ll install the game on, as it skips the process of transferring the file.

A wearable device called Pokemon GO Plus will be available for purchase later this month.
