Pokémon Go officially launched on Android and iOS today

Pokémon Go launched – best news for Pokémon fans worldwide!

Those who love Pokémon may have heard of this since 2 months ago. And today, on July 6th, the game started to be rolled out to iOS and Android users from many countries over the world. Has your newsfeeds been covered with crazy joys and exciting updates from your friends yet? If you had a childhood growing up with Pokémon, and have been training your beasts till now, then you obviously will love Pokémon Go

At first, the app was planned to be exclusively for New Zealand, but we are glad it will be launched worldwide, including Asia starting today. It is said the US and UK markets will not be able to experience this game yet, but we can totally expect it to come some point in the near future. The game can be download totally free of charge on iOS and Android smartphones. However, if you want to unlock some characters, you may need to make several in-app purchases later.

Basically, the idea of Pokémon Go is that, you can use your smartphone to bring and and catch Pokémon characters and conduct battles in physical locations near by. Some of my friends are already sharing the beasts they caught, either around their office, on the street or even in a cafe shop nearby. How fancy this is?
