Installing Pokemon Go on iphone and Android in unsupported countries


After the recent launch of Pokémon Go on iPhone and Android devices, it has take the world by storm. Pokemon Go's augmented reality gaming requires you to actually get out and search for Pokemon around your area and beyond. As your experience level increases you will be able to catch more powerful Pokemons, battle and take over your enemy's teams and become the ultimate Pokemon Master. The game is highly addictive and like most Pokemon fans you too will be saying "gotta catch em all". The success of this game has skyrocketed Nintendo's stock prices and now it's worth billions of dollars more than before.

The direct installation method is easy. You just have to download the apk installation file and directly install the game instead of via Google Play Store. Then simply open your game and you are good to go. Pokemon Go does require you to turn on GPS and mobile data, which is likley to drain your phone's battery faster than usual. On the plus side, the mobile data usage seems to be very reasonable and less than most other apps and games.
