Pokemon and Pokemon GO have both been trending on Facebook and Twitter all day

The Pokémon franchise has long been tied to Nintendo-branded consoles, but that's all about to change with Pokémon Go. The mobile game for iPhone and Android smartphones will bring the adventure to a mobile device near you. Judging by the trailer, Go could offer an augmented reality adventure,

Pokemon GO is now available in North America. Instructions for Android and iOS users have been updated. Unfortunately, majority of the in-game features are still blocked. You can only download the app.

Humors around the net according to their source the Pokemon Go  will be officially Release on  July 9, 2016  internationally.

It appears that players outside Australia, New Zealand, and Japan are now blocked from certain core features in the game. Users can login but they cannot interact with anything in-game. This came from several user feedbacks from the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries. There are currently no official information to support or disprove this claim. We'll keep you posted as new updates become available.

Some players may experience problems in the game (Nearby Pokemon, Poke Stops, and Gyms disappear after a forced relog right around 5PM) due to server issues. The server crash may be related to the influx of players from other regions wanting to try the game along with Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. We purposely excluded the other method of acquiring Pokemon GO in Android devices (APKs) as it is against our Community Guidelines.

As far as looks are concerned, the "Pokemon Go" take on this retro lizard is pretty much exactly what any "Pokemon" fan would expect. It's essentially the same large and winged dragon that's appeared in several generations of games. It's modeled in full 3D and looks comparable to most modern mobile experiences in terms of quality.

The most interesting thing to note about this particular one is its height and weight. In non-metric terms, this fully evolved Charmander is only about 5 feet tall and 166 pounds. Not only is this classification much smaller than those that love the series might expect, but it's also slightly downgraded from established Pokedex entries too. The weight in particular is nearly 34 pounds less than the standard size. The vast majority of our readers are probably bigger and taller than a Charizard!

This differential raises some interesting questions about "Pokemon Go's" roster. Since we're dealing with arguably the most pocket-friendly title in the franchise, have all of its characters slightly shrunk in stature to match? Obviously dimensions like height and weight don't mean much in terms of battle or effectiveness, but this is still an interesting anomaly to make note of. Beyond that, we can see that it knows two moves: wing attack and dragon claw.

"Pokemon Go" has been in beta testing for several weeks, but the early access period has been confirmed to end on June 30. Charizard has been spotted in less than 1 percent of wild encounters. The game is planned for a full iOS and Android release sometime in July. It's free, but microtransactions can be used to purchase select items.
