Last year in this article, Paul Gale Network shared the announcement that Pokémon Go would be coming out in 2016 and guess what…it’s here and it’s huge! Between yesterday and today (my birthday), the game has launched is Australia, New Zealand, and the United States, already being downloaded millions of times and boosting up Nintendo’s stock in a big way.

Within these next weeks, Niantic (the game’s developer) will release the game in many more countries throughout the world. I’m already seeing tons of Pokémon Go on social media outlets, it being talked about amongst my gamer and non-gamer friends, and being played by people all over my city. What a way to socialize and exercise!

Congratulations Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, and Niantic on this massive hit.
