MMDA reminds us to be more careful when playing Pokemon GO

Pokemon GO might be an exciting and an enjoyable game because we really need to go outside and travel to capture different Pokemons and also to get different items that we need for battle and for our Pokemons. And of course, our Pokemon quest to become a Pokemon Master would be dangerous to some as some people become unaware of their surroundings when they’re playing.

 

That’s why MMDA reminds us that we should be very careful when we are playing Pokemon GO in the streets. Here are some of their reminders for us future Pokemon trainers:

 

MMDA also warned us that there might be Team Rockets around the Metro. (Yeah, those snatchers are the real Team Rocket)

Pokemon GO access blocked in PH

It’s a sad day for us soon-to-be Filipino Pokemon masters as we have to lay down our caps, backpacks, and pokeballs as the most awaited mobile game has been blocked in the country.

 

Earlier today, Pokemon GO was released publicly to Australia and New Zealand and a barrage of APKs have been flooded for Android users and iOS users have switched their region to Australi or New Zealand just to access and download Pokemon GO. But unfortunately, Niantic and Pokemon was quick to block countries that are not included in the official release of Pokemon GO.

 

We’ve tried VPN and mocking our GPS but it seems that those tricks doesn’t work. Also, you won’t be able to see Pokestops, Pokemons, and other markings anymore in the Philippines.

 

So what do we do now? Well, the only thing that we can do is wait for the official release of Pokemon GO here in the Philippines.

I’m actually planning on telling my parents that I’ll be gone for a few years because I’ll be starting my training on becoming the next biggest Pokemon trainer in the world. Yes, one of the most awaited games this year is now out on iOS and Android in some countries, however, it’s not yet available in the Philippines.
