Pokemon Go’s servers crashed after it launched in 26 countries!

Yesterday’s issues are believed to have been caused by hacking group PoodleCorp, who claimed responsibility for the outage.

The game’s creators scrambled to fix the server issues, as Pokemon “trainers” contemplated what else they could possibly do with their time.

However, people from those countries where the game hasn’t been launched officially are downloading the APK file and playing the unofficial version of the game on their smartphones.

L’inizio Pizza Bar in Long Island City in NY claims its sales jumped 75% over the weekend by activating a “lure module” feature that attracts virtual Pokemon characters to the store, thereby tempting in nearby players.

By Monday morning, players in New Zealand were back online.

But before Sunday, Canadians had to find workarounds to play the game north of the 49th parallel.

Oh no! It’s happened again – the Pokemon GO servers have crashed for the second time.

After a limited release earlier this month, Pokemon Go quickly became one of the most downloaded apps in the world. It’s been reported that Canada, Japan and South Korea will be getting the official version of Pokemon Go by the end of July 2016.

Pokemon Go is live in Canada…sort of.

Marketing experts said small businesses may increasingly turn to Pokemon GO as the mobile game racks up a bigger user base.

Pokemon Go is the wildly popular augmented reality game where players capture virtual creatures, amass a collection and use them to battle Pokemon held by other players.
