You must have already heard of the word " Pokemon " before. Po-Ke-Mon, from the name of Japanese video game for Nintendo which means Pocket Monster has finally been released for Android and iOS users. But just like everything else in the world, it hasn't been released officially in Pakistan yet. The app has been officially launched so far in Australia, USA, UK, Canada and New Zealand. But that hasn't stopped people from outside these countries finding a way to play it, which can be achieved by manually downloading the game instead from the official app stores. But before we begin, let's talk more about Pokemon Go.

What is Pokemon Go?
Pokemon Go is a location based adventure game which works by using your smartphone's GPS for real world location and camera for realistic experience in catching pokemons. The game instantly became viral after it's release due to the massive positive reputation it had already gained previously by Nintendo users. Pokemon Go is a very exciting game and allows you to do a lot of things which I will not go into details here, but the main reason Pokemon Go has became a success is due to it's uniqueness which majority of the games do not offer.
Is Pokemon Go F2P (Free To Play)?
Yes. Pokemon Go is free to play but you still have options to use real life money to purchase ingame currency called " PokeCoins " which can be used to purchase useful items in the game. This is unneccasary as you're not required to spend money but it's same thing as you'd have to spend your time and energy instead of money, which makes the game even more fun.
