AUGMENTED reality smartphone smartphone Pokemon Go appears to have taken over the world in just a few days.
PokeStops are based on real-world locations, which create hubs where players can meet.
If Pokemon GO were to move forward from this, we’ll be the first to ask for stricter bans so the life lessons can be taught, you know. The bans people have experienced include no longer being able to catch Pokemon, being unable to collect items from PokeStops and not being able to battle or claim a gym. There might be more in the full consumer release, although 151 sounds about right as that’s the exact same number of Pokemon that appeared in the original Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue Game Boy games that originally started the whole (Poke) ball rolling. You’ll have to be level 5 to fight at a gym.
And yet, we all know that this isn’t a barrier for those who want to play the game on the iPhone because many users created US accounts for the App Store in order to download Pokemon Go legitimately and without waiting for Nintendo to launch it in their countries. To download the free app, simply follow the instructions and click to install it. If you live outside of a big city, it can be pretty hard to play Pokémon Go.

While Hanke did not give any details on a timetable for further launches, he confirmed that the game would soon be coming to Japan, and also said he expects to launch Pokemon Go in South Korea, where Google’s mapping functions are restricted due to security issues with North Korea. The latest app version 0.29.2 can already be downloaded and updated in Play Store.
