‘Pokémon GO’ Is Rolling Out On The App Store And Google Play!

Briefly: While Josh’s in-depth look at Niantic’s Pokémon GO made us wary at just how much fun the addicting-looking title may actually be, it appears that it won’t be long now before you can download the game yourself and draw your own conclusions about it.

That’s right. Pokémon GO has finally begun to roll out on the iOS App Store, as well as Google Play. Currently the game is only available for download in the always-first Australia and New Zealand regions, but that mean’s that it won’t be long before North Americans, Europeans and the like will be able to throw their first Pokéballs too.

As a previously avid player of Niantic’s Ingress, I was beyond excited when the company announced Pokémon GO. As Josh mentioned, the positives far outweigh the negatives, but just don’t expect a full Pokémon experience.

Honestly, I’m terrified for my relationships and my phone’s battery at this point, and I’m stoked to be headed down to San Diego in just over a week, where I should see an entirely different assortment on Pokémon than I will in my Vancouver homeland.
