One of the highly-awaited mobile gaming app "Pokemon Go" is finally coming soon. With Niantic and the Pokemon Company launching its very first Beta testing in Japan, a sure sign that after gathering some information from the players, the final "Pokemon Go" will probably be revealed soon.
Niantic and the Pokemon Company are also planning on releasing the Beat testing of "Pokemon Go" in other regions after Japan. However, as to the release date, it is yet to be announced.
The success of "Pokemon Go" will depend on how the Beta testing will go for the gamers as well as the feedback and insights they can give on "Pokemon Go." It is important for Niantic and the Pokemon Company to have great reviews despite it being just a Beta of "Pokemon Go" so that there will only be a few fixes and such for the game developers to do.
One fan fact of "Pokemon Go" is that it started as an April fool's bet between Niantic and the Pokemon Company, which took off and now is creating one buzzworthy scene. However, getting the funding for "Pokemon Go" was not easy. It has taken a lot out of Niantic and the Pokemon Company to gather as much funding as they can.
They fortunately had a very successful financing drive last 2015 for the big plans both Niantic and the Pokemon Company has for their games, including "Pokemon Go." Now, now they have received another big funding from numerous companies that totaled at $5 million. The said companies that have given funding for the two tech giants include The Alsop Louie Partners venture firm, tech specialists You and Mr. Jones, Fuji Television, AngelList's Cyan and Scott Banister and Lucas Nealan.
As to what Niantic and the Pokemon Company have under their sleeve with all the funds they have gathered, no one can confirm as of yet. However, one thing is for sure: "Pokemon Go" must have received a large percentage of this fundings.
