'Pokemon Go' Release Date, News & Update: Field Testers Reveal Game Is Challenging; Pokemon's Extremely Hard To Capture

The anticipation for the release of the reality augmented mobile gaming app "Pokemon Go" is in ultimate high right now after news came out that the field testing is being brought to Australia and New Zealand. The "Pokemon Go" field testing, which started in Japan late March this year, finally came to other countries to gather information and feedback from selected field testers about the "Pokemon Go" mobile game.

"Pokemon Go" is a project between Niantic and the Pokemon Company and will use real-time places in the game -- a very first in mobile gaming app. Fans are extremely excited to be able to experience the reality-augmented "Pokemon Go" game but, according to the feedback of some field testers, "Pokemon Go" is challenging yet very enjoyable to play.

According to some of the leaks by The Silph Road, which is an online community hosted by Reddit, the Niantic and the Pokemon Company's "Pokemon Go" is a video game that will involve a lot of strategies. Gamers will have the ability to capture different Pokemons in "Pokemon Go." However, it will depend on the strength of the Pokemon, the type of pokeball used and how well a player can toss the said Pokeball at the Pokemon.

Pokemons in "Pokemon Go" are also extremely agile and will run around a certain area making them harder to catch. Also, leaks have revealed that the more well-known Pokemons such as Pikachu, Balbasuar, Charmader, Squirtle and Eevee will be more difficult to capture. Natural habitats will also be taken into consideration in capturing certain Pokemons.

The release date of "Pokemon Go" is yet to be announced but, according to the timeline given by the game developers, "Pokemon Go" will come later this year. "Pokemon Go" is shaping up to be a very good mobile gaming app and has the possibility to topple numerous mobile gaming apps that have dominated over the years.
