Lock if old

p.s: I advice people to stop following rumors because so far there is 0 leak about which country will be next.

EDIT: here some details about futur releases

John Hanke, CEO of Niantic (co-developer of Pokémon GO), has stated that he wants Pokémon GO to be out in about 200 different regions. He also noted that the company’s other, similar game Ingress took about two months to reach that point, but he declined to comment on a timeframe for Pokémon GO’s releases. According to Hanke, the company is also currently working on strengthening the servers to deal with the current popularity and any future rollout.

Hanke also made note of two regions that could face release difficulties: South Korea and China. In the case of South Korea, the country has limits on Google’s mapping functionality, due to security concerns with North Korea. However, Hanke stated that “there are solutions to that.” As for China, the country has many regulations that Niantic would have deal with.

Still no Netherlands :-(

 

[DoubleYou]

Still no Netherlands :-(

I stayed strong until today. But that's it. I'm australian now.

 

[obin_gam]

Why dont they just release it worldwide?

 

[ReyBrujo]

Servers wouldn't be able to handle it.

 

[BY2K]

Why dont they just release it worldwide?

And kill the servers for a week?

 

[Chaos17]

Why dont they just release it worldwide?

Servers are already burning whenever they release in new country, so that's normal Niantics want to go step by step, imo.

 

[Daeda]

Why dont they just release it worldwide?

Accounting for Server issues and bugs most likely. Staged releases suck, but for mobile platforms they really are the way to go. It creates more stable releases in the long run.

Sucks no official Dutch release yet, then again, an estimated 10% of the population is already playing it regardless.

 

[Galang]

The order they're doing this in makes no sense

 

[obin_gam]

And kill the servers for a week?

Sure! People need to be inside as well

 

[Mdk7]

Catturiamoli tutti!

[Creamium]

Hopefully Benelux is up soon, don't forget us Niantic

 

[ReyBrujo]

Also, Play Store wouldn't be able to handle it. For Ingress releases, they had to do it by phone model, from newest to oldest, and from area to area. Full deployment usually takes 5-7 days.

 

[Cyldman]

PORTUGAL CARALHO!

 

[Kouriozan]

No France because they're scared it will crash the server for a whole week.

 

[Chaos17]

I updated the OP with some little infos that Nianctics plan to release in 200 countries!

 

[Ninferno]

Well, at least it is THREE countries today as opposed to just ONE, so they are making progress I guess...

Thought France would have got it today after Germany and the UK, but maybe after the terrible terrorist attack, it is inadvisable to get people out of their homes hence Niantic purposely skipped France for the time being?

 

[T.O.P]

Buona fortuna ai nuovi allenatori!

You will need it

I'd think so.

 

[Deleted member 57681]

Austria pls. I hope they add countries over the weekend.

 

[Chaos17]

Man, asians in the facebook comments of the news about the release today... I know they're impatient but still... thirst is real, lol

[Crayolan]

That'll happen when they release in Japan regardless.

 

[Ricker]

Hey Niantic...Canada is up here,you know,just a few feet North of the USA...wake up guys lol

 

[Jim_Cacher]

I understand the thirst. Many people, like in Canada, can access to the game with sideloading, whereas we cannot access as the map data in Asia is blocked. We can log in, but we see no pokestops, gyms and pokemons on our map. It is frustrating to see people around the world were enjoying the game, while we can only read fascinating stories from others, hoping we can leave our home and catch 'em all.

 

[Ensirius]

Yes! I've been playing it with the apk file, and now I'll be able to do it the right way. Woot.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Going to go out right now with the official one. Lets see if the pokemon placements work better know around my area.

The thirst is so real in Japan, other Pokemon apps are being bumped up in ios downloads.

 

[Falchion]

Nice, hopefully the can have a SMOOTH rollout for everyone very soon.

 

[klier]

Still no Netherlands :-(

Fuck that shit! When?!?! I am getting sick and tired of the app constantly crashing.

More goddamn crashes than Rattatas

LOL no!

Niantic Delays Pokemon GO France Launch After Nice Attack.
