Wannabe Pokémon masters, you’ve heard the news: as of Saturday, August 6, Pokémon Go is officially live in Singapore. Now that you can download the official app, put on your walking shoes and go catch a Squirtle or Pikachu – just mind the traffic, okay?
For those who live under a rock, Pokémon Go is an augmented reality smartphone game where you have to walk (or drive) around the country to discover and catch animated creatures known as Pokémon.
Ever since Pokémon Go was launched in Australia and New Zealand on July 6, fans in Singapore have been trying all sorts of ways to get their hands on Niantic’s app. With the game making its way to Japan on July 22, and in Hong Kong on July 25, Singapore-based players had their hopes up that the official South-East Asian release would soon follow.
And now that the wait is finally over, those in Singapore can become the Pokémon masters they’re meant to be. You know it’s your destiny.
