Pokemon Go launched in Thailand
Online reporters
Nintendo Co Ltd's smash-hit augmented reality mobile game Pokemon Go has been launched in Thailand, along with 14 other countries in Asia-Pacific.
The launch was sooner than previously expected. True CEO Suphachai Chearavanont said on July 21 the game would be launched in September.
The game uses GPS to track a player's location and overlays "monsters" that can be hunted in that location on his mobile screen. The caught monsters can then be trained for battles.
"Trainers in 15 new countries and regions across Asia and Oceania can now officially download Pokemon GO from the Play Store or App Store," Niantic, the game's developer, announced on the website on Saturday.
