#TeamMystic

Oh Nintendo and Niantic, wei shen me ni zhe yang bad de? 11th of July 2016, still waiting for the release of Pokemon Go in Singapore. While youtube has floods of videos featuring people playing this awesome game, we are still waiting. While others complain of server stability, we wait impatiently for our turn to have that Pokemon experience. I know that the servers are overloaded, and they will only release it once they are comfortable and all. But seriously, they should know how big a game it will be, and how well received it will be globally. So since this is a given, why did they not prepare for it beforehand? Disappointment is the word right now...

What to do? Even downloading the apk file and installing it will show a map void of pokemon, no gyms or pokestop anywhere. The only thrill is that I was able to try my hand on catching my starter. Waiting is driven me crazy, even to the point that I downloaded the other Niantic game, Ingress, just to try out geo-location games. There has been rumours that it will be out only on the 27th in the other countries, but that is just too long a wait. Hopefully they can give us an answer as to when it MIGHT be available. Not even asking for a confirmed date, just an expected will do, since it beats not knowing when to wait until.

In the mean time, I have already decided on Team Mystic. Articuno has always been my favourite out of the three legendary birds. Already there has been people trying to get together on Facebook to be in the same team to control the same area. This game is going to be so epic in an island country like SG. Really cannot wait sia. Nintendo and Niantic, hope that you will resolve the server issue soon...
