With the first release of Pokemon Go limited to only a handful of countries, other people who did not get the opportunity to play it spat in envy… Until they did some ‘hacking’ to obtain the app of course.

However, there’s no need for any complicated setting or backdoor methods anymore as Pokemon Go is set to officially launch in Asia in less than 24 hours!

Since its release, Pokemon Go has been a great hit, making other fans who aren’t eligible to play it green with envy. The game has driven in so many users that it took down servers numerous of times since its initial launch.

Pokemon Go has taken such a big wave that its number of installs surpassed Tinder, Twitter in daily active users and drove so much better engagement than other social apps when compared to popular apps such as snapchat and even Facebook!

I’m not kidding, you LITERALLY can see kids (and even young adults) walking down the streets trying to catch Pokemon.

Apparently, recent statements released by The Wall Street Journal reports that Pokémon Go will launch in Europe and Asia “within a few days.”

So here’s why many people believe it’ll happen very soon

As of now, industry experts claimed that some signs that it will be soon be coming to Asia includes:

1. The boosting up of the game servers for the past few days, increasing their load capacity with reduced reports of glitches occurring.
2. Servers opening up in Asia for brief moments in the past few days.
3. The fact that the iOS App Store refreshes every Thursday globally is an opportune time for launch for iOS and Android.

There is no official comment on this time frame but “people familiar with plans for the game”, as cited by WSJ is positive on the release.

Let’s get our fingers crossed and be prepared guys, because it could be Asia’s turn to take on Pokemon Go!
