Indian nerds, gamers, and hipsters have united by Pokemon Go, a hugely popular augmented reality game for iOS and Android.
It's easy to explain why Pokemon Go is addictive - you have to literally walk around your neighbourhood, city, or even state, to find and capture Pokemons - fictional creatures ?that were introduced to us earlier via TV, games, toys and internet.?

While the hype around the game has threatened to crash the game maker's servers and delayed their international plans, passionate gamers are getting access to it across the world.?
Officially, the game is live US, Australia and New Zealand. ?But some enterprising Pokemon masters are playing it in India, and capturing Pokemons even as you read this.
I just spotted a Facebook friend of mine on the hunt in Delhi - he'd found the famous Mewtoo?
According to NDTV, India's Pokemon fandom, seen in the franchise' TV shows and retail merchandise line means that it will officially land in India soon.
On the official Pokemon Go subreddit, user Lannc explains:?"The game is unavailable in my region Brazil, but i could download it with apk pure, just set the region to Australia!"
People who downloaded the APK on their phones can place the file in their Download folder. They must also allow for installation of apps from unknown sources, and then hit install. The newest edition of Android (Android Nougat) won't support it.
Select ¡°Open in App Store¡± and then press install ?- it starts downloading.?
