For months, a number of Pokemon fans were already on the look for the release date of the game from Niantic and The Pokemon Company as they were excited to get the feel of catching pocket monsters by doing a lot of walking around town.

While the app has not been officially released in Canada yet, players in Winnipeg and across the country have found creative ways to obtain the game through various back channels.
While most people are tucked up in bed sound asleep at 3am, Pokemon lovers are patrolling the streets looking for the best Pokemon.

The early days of your adventure in Pokemon GO can be tedious if you don’t know how to effectively throw your Poke Ball.
The official United Kingdom launch is said to be “on hold” while developer Niantic looks to get control over their servers after demand crashed them on more than one occasion last week, expect it to be sooner rather than later that Go officially lands.
