Pokémon Go fans, you’ve been lied to.
There have been rumours floating around that the game is set to be rolling out in Asia “within a few days”, and many Singaporeans have been getting ready their Pokémon gear (and fitness gear to prepare for hours of walking) for the moment it goes live on the App Store.

Unofficial blog Pokemongoasia has even come up with a list of reasons as to why they believe Pokémon Go will be released here by today. Apparently they have “secret sources – people who know plans of the game”.
