Pokémon Go has finally been officially released in the UK.
The gaming app, which has already become a global sensation within the past week, uses GPS technology and virtual reality to allow users to “catch ’em all” in their local areas. Though the app has caused some controversy over safety and legal issues, it has also been commended for getting players outside as they explore for cute little monsters to collect.
