Pokemon Go available in Southeast Asia, but not in VietnamVietNamNet Bridge - According to some sources, Pokemon Go will be officially released in eight Asian countries this week, but not in Vietnam. An optional companion Bluetooth wearable device, the Pokemon Go Plus, is planned for future release and will alert users when Pokemon are nearby. Earlier this week, the head of Pokemon Go developing team - John Hanke - said Pokemon Go is expected to be released in 200 countries worldwide. Pokemon Go is a free-to-play location-based augmented reality mobile game developed by Niantic for iOS and Android devices. This is a puzzling move of Niantic Labs, as Asia has long been recognized as the world's largest market for games, especially games on mobile phones.
