'Pokémon GO' release date news 2016: Game already available in the US; Aussie police warn players

Many Pokémon fans are happy that "Pokémon GO" has finally been launched. Game publisher The Pokémon Company has slowly rolled out the highly anticipated game on iOS and Android worldwide. However, some fans find the launching confusing as they were having difficulties downloading the new title on their devices. Several reports following its release note that the game is unavailable in the U.S. However, The Pokémon Company, Nintendo and game developer Niantic have declared that the game is now officially available North America including the U.S.

In a report by Venture Beat, Pokémon Go has already gone live on Google Play and App Store. The website also said that the game had a soft launch in countries such as Australia, New Zealand and several other regions. The Pokémon Company and Niantic have done a tremendous job so far regarding the release of its new Pokémon game.

The exciting game allows players to go out into the real world and find other Pokémon and catch them. However, the idea does not seem to make Australian authorities happy.

In a Facebook post, Darwin Police Station asks players not to go inside the station when hunting for Pokémon.

"For those budding Pokemon Trainers out there using Pokemon Go - whilst the Darwin Police Station may feature as a Pokestop, please be advised that you don't actually have to step inside in order to gain the pokeballs," the police stated.

"It's also a good idea to look up, away from your phone and both ways before crossing the street. That Sandshrew isn't going anywhere fast."

The post ended with a great message to all "Pokémon Go" players.

"Stay safe and catch 'em all!"

The game has certainly taken the world by storm. As of the moment, "Pokémon Go" is sailing smoothly. There have been no complaints reported so far except for the unavailability issues in some regions.
