If you live in Australia or New Zealand, you can now download Pokémon GO from the Play Store (Android) or the AppStore (iOS). We don’t quite know when it will be released in North America and Europe, but it’s highly likely it will be available in those regions before the end of the week. In the mean time, you can always use workaround to install the game on your Android device (by downloading the apk from third-party websites for example).
