Asia is probably one of the biggest markets for gaming, especially for mobile game, and yet we are the forgotten nations for the release of Pokemon Go.
We are watching all our fellow Pokefans all around the world, enjoying the gift that is Pokemon Go. When we stare at our own maps, we are greeted with empty land, zero Pokemon and the inability to be able to play.
We plead with Niantic, and the creators of Pokemon Go to please release it in Asia. The lack of updates that you are giving us has left us sadness and losing hope that we will even be able to enjoy the game at all. We sit here, not able to do anything, while you open servers for other countries and regions around us. You have let us down, you have let down the very fans whom will give you a big chunk of revenue from our game expenditure. You have let down the very fans who are from the birth place of Pokemon. You have let down millions of us.
We urge you to release to the Asia regions as soon as possible, or at least give us open communication and updates on what is happening. Do not leave us in the dark, we are all part of the Pokefamily.

Seeing this kind of movement confirms that my frustration is shared by millions across the continent. It hurts to stare at empty maps every day, but knowing I am not alone in this fight keeps me going.

I see the messages from all of you waiting in empty cities and it hurts to know we are being left behind by the company that started it all here. I am spending my afternoons tagging their media teams and sending emails to demand the open communication we deserve. We are the home of this franchise and we should not have to watch the rest of the world play without us.

Why is asia the only region being geo-blocked before release even? More than just people coming here or spoofing to get high CP creatures, we absolutely do not stand a chance anywhere else overseas as well, from the perspective of a student studying abroad.
I've been waiting for this game since the day when the first trailer released, I was so hype when the game first released in Australia and New Zealand, I'm from Malaysia and I grow up with a Pokemon childhood, please come to Malaysia as soon as possible~
I wake up every morning to check my App Store. And before I sleep I check one more time too just waiting for PokemonGo to be out. At least give us a estimate of what date we will get it. Many of us here in Asia are very very eager to join the hype
As a foreign student in Japan I can't play Pokemon Go whereas all my friends back home are making progress. Japan will fall behind in terms of competition compare to the rest of the world if the realease is not soon and it would be really sad !
Many people in Malaysia has been using the fake gps app to enable the pokemon go app to be played here. As such, it is best to launch it in Malaysia as soon as possible to ensure everyone in Malaysia is able to enjoy a fair start of this exciting game.
I don't have much pokestops and gyms as in European countries plz look to find help for not only me but all the indian fans
Please Continue Pokemon Go in India and create a new pokegym and pokestop

There're players in the US who have reached level 30. They are leaps and bounds ahead of us. if there ever were to have a global wide competition/event, we, the asian players will definitely lose out. We HAVE ALREADY lost the Catch them all competition.
