Pokémon is coming to the real-world with a new Pokémon GO augmented-reality game for Android and iPhone and companion Pokémon GO Plus device. Here's all there is to know about Pokémon GO and Pokémon GO Plus, including the Pokémon GO UK release date rumours, price and gameplay details. Plus: what's the deal with the Pokémon GO closed beta?
What is Pokémon GO?
Pokémon GO is a mobile game for Android and iPhone that is being developed by The Pokémon Company and Niantic, a former Google startup that has since branched out on its own and is known for its earlier augmented-reality mobile game Ingress. Nintendo is also contributing with the development and manufacture of the companion Pokémon GO Plus (see below for more details on that).

Pokémon GO is a mobile app that you download to your Android smartphone or iPhone, but play in the real world through augmented reality.
In Pokémon GO the aim is to locate, catch, battle and trade Pokémon, and you are encouraged to connect with other nearby Pokémon GO players as you do so.
John Hanke, founder of Niantic, said: "For the first time, Pokémon will roam free in the real world. Pokémon GO will allow players to capture Pokémon who inhabit parks, shopping areas, sidewalks and the countryside all around the world. Imagine discovering a Squirtle hiding along the waterfront in San Francisco, a Bulbasaur at Shinjuku Station or a Pikachu beneath the Eiffel Tower."
Pokémon GO UK closed beta access: How can you join the Pokemon Go closed beta?
Quite simply, you can't. Google 'Pokemon Go closed beta' and you'll find several sites claiming to offer a download for the Pokemon Go closed beta. Clearly not all can be legit, and it's worth remembering that the deal with a closed beta is that not just anyone can sign up. To join a closed beta you must be invited. (And if you've come to this article wondering how to join then you haven't been.)
On the official Pokemon site it's worth pointing out the following statement: "No beta testing has been announced for Pokémon GO at this time. Please keep checkingPokemon.co.uk/GO for updates."
For the reference!!!See ya Guys next time!
