Here’s How You Can Play Pokémon Go In Malaysia! 2. Niantic, the developer for the game, has been known to be quite strict with banning users in their other augmented reality game, Ingress.Īs of the time of writing, there has been no news of anyone actually being banned, but why take the risk? Either way, it’s a pain, particularly if it’s your Google account that they’re banning. It is unclear if they are banning the Pokémon Trainer club registration, or if they’re banning the Google accounts used.

There are rumours going all round that any devices using the downloaded APK will be permanently banned. It may be too late for me but for the rest who haven’t downloaded it and are planning to, here are 3 reasons to not do so. Next came the flood of news about the servers going down, people being unable to access their games all over the world, and after doing a bit more reading, I decided to uninstall the app. I hastily installed it, booted it up, played for a bit then life interfered so I didn’t do much. Then came the APK installation idea, and that, I jumped. There was the initial suggestion of changing regions on my devices, but as someone who has swapped regions before when I moved back from Australia, I thought that it was a hassle and it interfered with a lot of other apps and app suggestions, so I wasn’t keen. I have friends living in England who are already proud leaders of multiple gyms, the screenshots and videos all around the Internet look awesome, and as a person who grew up playing Pokémon (and who still plays-yes, I have a Nintendo 3DS), the game looked to deliver endless fun, and I could not be part of it.

Like many Pokémon fans, I was gravely disappointed when the app was released in certain regions around the world, and not in Malaysia.
