I'm going to get it, I was going to wait until it's released here but I'm sick of people going on about it. Im making a us account tomorrow so I can go on some Pokemon treks. Sad bastard.

Go to the above site. You might have to edit your phone settings to allow app installations from places other than the Play store.

It's good harmless fun IMO that seems to be encouraging exercise. Nintendo shares have rocketed too.

I've been reading up on it and got a version via a tech radar link. Apparently some versions have malware that allow others to track where you are hence the planned attacks so I hope people sideloading it scan it or get it from a checked source.

My son has autism and does not like going out as he is very anxious, but he's really interested in this and hopefully it will encourage him to go out and be something we can do together.

Augmented reality phone app. Nintendo have previously been unwilling to deviate from their console games for fear of cannibalizing sales.

Nintendo's market value has increased by $7.5 billion because of this. That's insane.

It'll probably drop once people get bored of the game but if you have any shares in Nintendo you're going to be one happy person.

My grandsons are both obsessed with Pokemon and that's just from watching it on telly. All their friends at school love it too. I thought I'd seen the last of it when James grew up, but it's as popular as ever.
