Pokemon GO released to another 15 Asian countries

Pokemon GO, everyone has heard of it, whether you play it or not, you can't deny that it has been a massive success, and now Niantic has released Pokemon Go to another 15 new countries in Asia.

The list of these countries is Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Brunei, Singapore, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vietnam, Taiwan, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Federated States of Micronesia, Palau, and Thailand.

The expansion to these countries has been expected for a very long time, but two things that Pokemon fans are shocked about is that Niantic, still hasn't released Pokemon GO to the two countries with the biggest population in the world (Together 2.609 billion, which form about a quarter of the earths population). Niantic also hasn't released Pokemon GO to Korea. But why?

For India, we don't know, It could be the Indian government, or Niantic just isn't ready yet, but for China, it is clear why the game hasn't been released yet.

In China, loads of regulations and the game relying on Google Maps is delaying the launch. In Korea, the problem is similar, Google Maps has security issues.

Do you think it's crazy that Niantic still hasn't released Pokemon Go to these countries? Let us know in the comments down below and connect with us on social media!
