Pokemon GO has taken the world by storm. Many fans felt left out as the hit game wasn’t available in their country. Now the game can be played in many more countries, and Nintendo announced two more areas of the world where players can “Catch ’em all,” including the country hosting the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Many Olympic athletes took to social media to complain about the lack of Pokemon in the country. It appears that the game’s creators hurt loud and clear about these issues among other bug issues. It was wise for Pokemon GO to be added in these areas. The game has taken a slight tick downwards since the initial hype, so this will add the potential for many new users to download the game.
