'Pokemon GO' release date 2016: May surprise fans as gaming app will be launched sooner than expected?

The Pokemon Company is celebrating a very important event this year as around twenty years ago, the first "Pokemon" game was successfully released. Since then, a number of highly popular "Pokemon" games for home console and handheld devices were released, and "Pokemon" has become one of the phenomenal game titles of this generation. This year, as part of the Japanese game studio's 20th anniversary, The Pokemon Company will be introducing a new mobile gaming app called "Pokemon GO" to the public in partnership with the game developer company, Niantic.

A lot of Pokemon fans are very excited about the new Pokemon-based gaming app which will officially be the first mobile game to feature the Pokemon world. Part of Niantic's preparation and development of the game is the various beta testing locations in different parts of the world. The most recent country to have the beta test of the game is the United States where the application period for those who want to be a part of the experience has been opened. The US beta test rounds, however, could be an indication that the long wait is almost over for the "Pokemon GO" release.

It was quoted in a report by Express UK that the arrival of "Pokemon GO" is "getting closer" as stated by Niantic.

"It's been sort of like making a big meal for your friends or family. We have been sweating the details in the kitchen and now we are anxious and excited to share our creation with you," the mobile game developer company that created the AR game "Ingress" added. It appears that the arrival of the beta test version of "Pokemon GO" is a part of the final stage of the game's development. Niantic also took the opportunity to thank everyone who became a part of the experience to bring the game into reality.

Niantic has yet to announce the final worldwide release date of "Pokemon GO," although there are rumors that its launching will happen sooner this year. As PC Advisor reported, "Pokemon GO" was first tested in Australia and New Zealand prior to its arrival in the United States. A Reddit thread that contains alleged leaks from the beta rounds in those countries reveals that all 150 original Pokemons will be present in the mobile game, although the popular ones such as Bulbasaur, Charmander, Pikachu and Squirtle will be quite hard to find in the maps.
