Sure by now you’ve heard of about the Pokemon GO, a video game series built on Niantic’s Real World Gaming Platform and will use real locations to encourage players to search far and wide in the real world to discover Pokémon.
Pokémon GO allows you to find and catch more than a hundred species of Pokémon as you explore your surroundings.
While the game hasn’t launched in other countries including South Africa, good news are there is a way to still play the game right here in Mzansi.
Telkom Gaming has published a hack that will allow Android device users to play Pokemon GO, unfortunately not for iOS users yet.
– To run it in your region simply download the APK File here and transfer it to your device – you can simply email the APK link to yourself and download it onto your phone.
– All phones are factory set to block unofficial APK files so you will need to turn this setting off before you can install it.
– Go to Settings on your phone and switch to the “general” tab, if needed.
– Tap on the “Security” option.
– Tick the checkbox next to the “Unknown Sources” option.
– Confirm the warning message by tapping on “OK”
– Once that is done, you can go into your phone’s file browser and it will allow the APK to be run. The application will now take you to an installation screen, featuring the Pokemon GO logo and its background music (something that almost killed my ears at 100 percent Volume).
– Once that is complete you will be taken to a date of birth screen.
Once you have read the basic introductions to the game you will be asked to choose your characters gender, along with some character design details. When you have done all of that,and accepted the terms and condition,s you are well on your way to exploring the outside world.
The application itself is free-to-play and is reportedly working worldwide (the game itself relies on your phone’s location tracker to generate the in-game world). Travel to the beachfront to capture water Pokémon, or search for gyms around the block.
Well do check it out and let us know how it goes! Here’s something interesting:
Techcrunch has revealed that App analytics company SensorTower used its predictive model of the App Store and Google Play, which takes hundreds of thousands of data points from its partners to generate an estimate of the download numbers Pokémon Go is seeing: it’s been downloaded a total of around 7.5 million times in the U.S. From Google Play and the iOS App Store, according to their numbers.
In terms of earning power, the game is making around $1.6 million per day, according to SensorTower, and that revenue estimate is limited to iOS only.
This means the game has more daily users than WhatsApp, Instagram and Snapchat: see chart below:
