Nintendo has released Pokemon Go for iOS, an augmented reality game that lets users capture, battle, train, and trade virtual Pokémon who appear throughout the real world.

Pokémon are out there, and you need to find them. As you walk around a neighborhood, your smartphone will vibrate when there’s a Pokémon nearby. Take aim and throw a Poké Ball… You’ll have to stay alert, or it might get away!

Search far and wide for Pokémon and items
Certain Pokémon appear near their native environment—look for Water-type Pokémon by lakes and oceans. Visit PokéStops, found at interesting places like museums, art installations, historical markers, and monuments, to stock up on Poké Balls and helpful items.

Catching, hatching, evolving, and more
As you level up, you’ll be able to catch more-powerful Pokémon to complete your Pokédex. You can add to your collection by hatching Pokémon Eggs based on the distances you walk. Help your Pokémon evolve by catching many of the same kind.

Take on Gym battles and defend your Gym
As your Charmander evolves to Charmeleon and then Charizard, you can battle together to defeat a Gym and assign your Pokémon to defend it against all comers.

You can download Pokémon GO from the App Store for free.

You can download the game via the New Zealand store. Sign out of your iTunes account and change the region to New Zealand. Go to the App Store, search for Pokemon GO, and create a new login to download. Make sure you're not on wifi for the install. Once finished, sign out and change settings back to normal. Hope this helps.

App crashes on first location prompt, no way around this i suppose on jail broken devices

stevenlacross - July 8, 2016 at 8:23pm

Yeah I downloaded a tweak to get passed the jailbroke detection, it's still crashing because of the servers being retarded

Waiting for US release. This looks promising! Really excited about getting back into Pokemon

Just checked, it's now in the us store

It's a Global launch, and they are putting it out to countries slowly as to not cause problems. Patience is something that is needed today, and maybe a chill pill so you don't freak out all the time over silly little things...

Wow.. the article failed to mention that Pokemon Go is inly available in New Zealand... thanks for breaking my heart

Really Nintendo?? - July 6, 2016 at 4:43am

Is "Niantic, Inc." a Nintendo alias? Niantic is the company listed in the App Store and their other games are not Nintendo as far as I tell?

GenesisDH - July 6, 2016 at 8:32pm

Niantic is a spin off from Google after the alphabet rearrangement.
