Pokémon Go enables players to discover and catch Pokémon, such as Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Pikachu and other fascinating characters, in real locations. However, the UK finally became the fifth country where people can discover Pokémon species when the game was officially released there on Thursday. Prior to the announcement, rumors were circulating that Pokémon Go was set to be launched in Europe and Asia "within a few days". Niantic initially planned to release the game in the UK and the Netherlands but later postponed it following issues with servers because of the game's unexpected popularity.
