Pokemon Go has been rolled out in a number of countries worldwide, and it’s all that anyone can talk about.
Even before the free-to-play app’s launch in the UK, gamers have been having a lot of fun going round their neighbourhood trying to catch ’em all.
The app – which has no official UK release date – has proved so popular that it has caused server crashes.
Thank you for your patience. We have been working to fix the server issues. We will continue rolling out #PokemonGO to new countries soon.

But things took a terrifying turn for one American, who stumbled across a dead body when playing the game.
KCWY News 13 reports that Shayla Wiggins, 19, found the body in a river near her Wyoming home.
“As I looked one way, I noticed that there was something in the water in front of me, and so I took a closer look and saw it was a body,” Wiggins told BuzzFeed.
“I was crying and shaking really bad because it was a very scary situation.”
According to a statement from Fremont County Undersheriff Ryan Lee, the death is thought to be accidental. Further details may be made public once an autopsy has been carried out.
