A trick to bypass the country block and play Pokemon Go right now!
Yesterday marked the beginning of the release for Pokemon Go – Initially, only players from New Zealand and Australia were supposed to be able to play the augmented reality game. However, there is now a trick that allows German players to catch the little monsters before the official release.
Update: Pokemon Go is supposedly set to release in Germany this week!
Download the APK and get started
With the free “Pokemon Go” app, you can catch wild Pokemon in your garden or even when you are on the go. Using your phone camera, Pokemon near you will be displayed, for example, sitting next to you on the sidewalk.
So that you can start the app now without having to wait for the official release in Germany, you can easily download the APK as an Android user and use it on your Android device.
Download for Android and iPhone
It is your own responsibility whether you want to bypass the country block or not. You can find the APK file on various portals – Make sure before downloading that it is a file from Niantic, Inc. Here you can download the APK. As an iOS user, you unfortunately still have to wait for the official release. Unfortunately, there is currently no trick to bypass the country block on an iOS device. The exact official release date for Pokemon Go is currently not known.
Update: iOS users can also play Pokemon right now! – Our reader Viktor says that you just need to set up a new Apple ID with “New Zealand” as the location. After that, you can download Pokemon Go from the App Store and after installation switch back to your usual Apple ID. You can then also catch Pokemon on your iOS device.
Do you want to be the very best, like no one ever was? Then after downloading and installing Pokemon Go, you should say “Goodbye!” to your virtual friends and go out into the “real world” to hunt for wild Pokemon. Later in July, the “Pokemon Go Plus” gadget will be released, which will immediately inform you about special events.
