Ugh. When is my country getting Pokémon Go?
As you can tell, the answer to a lot of these availability questions is "no" for the time being. Niantic Labs hasn’t been giving us much of a heads up before launching the game in a new territory, so it’s hard to know for sure when those left out of the phenomenon right now will be able to participate. Asian and more European countries are expected to receive the game soon, but for those on other continents, feel free to live vicariously through our Pokémon Go guides and coverage, found below.
