Don't worry! For now you can play vicariously through me. :'D

My field test copy updated a few minutes ago and works like a charm--might add NA to that list.

*drums fingers impatiently as the dire need to have this game before I go to Italy steadily increases*

PEOPLE IN THE US, I FOUND THE APK FILE ONLINE. MESSAGE ME IF YOU WANT IT, don't want to get into any trouble for posting it here.

This is only if you have Android. Someone was able to get it on The Apple store too I think but I don't have Apple so I'm not looking into it.

How do you update your field test?

I'll tell everyone now it's not worth getting. This game is awful. D: There is absolutely nothing at all where I work or live. And the design/interface sucks.

If you live in a more rural area, I just wouldn't bother, honestly. There are relatively few Pokemon in my area, but they're all really far away (three arrows, which is the largest distance, but afaik there's no known measurement of the arrow). The servers are also roasted (you'd think they'd have learned something after both the Dream World and Bank servers crashed hard their first days too, but Y'KNOW, WHATEVER).

I feel like the game would be a lot better once you leveled up a lot, but it's just not possible in rural areas unless you're willing to walk 10 miles a day to find 10 Pokemon at best. And, apparently, driving doesn't count for much. I drove about 10 miles and only found two Pokemon...So yeah, unless you're in an urban area that's more pedestrian-friendly, don't waste your time with it. :(

But I think everyone should try it to see how it works for them. If there's no Pokemon near you, then I'd just delete the app right then and there tbh.

Yes. I completely agree
