One of the highly-awaited mobile gaming app "Pokemon Go" is finally coming soon. With Niantic and the Pokemon Company launching its very first Beta testing in Japan, a sure sign that after gathering some information from the players, the final "Pokemon Go" will probably be revealed soon.

Niantic and the Pokemon Company are also planning on releasing the Beat testing of "Pokemon Go" in other regions after Japan. However, as to the release date, it is yet to be announced.

The success of "Pokemon Go" will depend on how the Beta testing will go for the gamers as well as the feedback and insights they can give on "Pokemon Go." It is important for Niantic and the Pokemon Company to have great reviews despite it being just a Beta of "Pokemon Go" so that there will only be a few fixes and such for the game developers to do.

One fan fact of "Pokemon Go" is that it started as an April fool's bet between Niantic and the Pokemon Company, which took off and now is creating one buzzworthy scene.  However, getting the funding for "Pokemon Go" was not easy.
