Pokemon Go is now available in 11 countries and regions all over the world. Eleven new areas were recently identified by Niantic, as it made the Pokemon Go available. This is for the purpose of having the developer's effort to produce more players of the augmented reality app as well as to share this experience to a more vast audience. Countries such as Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Macau, Macedonia, Mongolia, Serbia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan will now get the chance to join the rest of the world in catching these pocket monsters. Just like most Pokemon trainers, users in these areas must explore within their vicinity in order to catch their own Pokemon.
On the contrary, Pokemon Go is not yet available in some regions, such as South Korea or China, since these countries have restricted the use of Google Maps. These restrictions have been causing problems on Niantic's part. It still seems like Niantic would want the app to be made available in these countries despite the limitations.
According to Nintendo Insider, Niantic has been consistently making efforts to make the Pokemon Go app available to other parts of the world. The release of the Apple Watch is currently on the works, since its released was announced last September in an Apple Special Event. Pokemon Go is said to be a mix of imagination and good game play, while encouraging people to go out, walk, and explore something within their bounds. The Apple Watch will be added to provide a convenient way of interacting with the game's features, such as easy trackers, haptic notifications, and quick taps in order to keep playing the game. Moreover, the Apple Watch's compatibility with the Pokemon Go app will encourage its trainers to participate in workouts activities, since it will provide a summary of it. Niantic's mission could be realized for this feature - as it encourages its users to go into physical activity. This is an innovation that is worth waiting for.
