Have we heard any word on when Pokemon go will be released? I know its early 2016 but that doesn't really give us a date, early 2016 could even be march.

Also of topic but do we know how much the eshop versions of red/blue/yellow will cost?
 
I dont think we've received any word on a release date for Pokemon Go yet. Maybe around the Anniversery? Not on it, because thats when RBY will be released on the Virtual Console) but I dont really know about that, if it were going to be then, we mightve heard by now, expecially if it was earlier in February. My guess is it might be later than that. It very well could be March.
 
I think we will see it released later in the year actually, I think the next main game could very well be out before Go, and then Go will act as a companion. Maybe it could come out on the same day similar to PokeWalker and the Dream World!
 
Given how the release date isn't getting more specific (still just "2016" from the most recent press releases) and the winter 2015 beta test failed to materialize, I suspect it may end being delayed out of "early 2016".

Pokemon Go was also absent from the European trailer. So maybe it will be like PMSD, and be out in Japan/America at the end of the year, and Europe early in the next year.

It's listed on the 2016 timeline for all countries. Not to mention that there is no reason to delay the localization of a smartphone game, which is unlikely to be text-driven.

Just seems weird why they had it in the American trailer and then removed it from the European one don't you think???
 
Well, they've released a video about releasing it for the Anniversary.

Though just when we're not sure...

Do you mean the one big anniversary video with everything in? Or do you mean there's been another since???
 
The official Twitter account of Pokemon Go is @pkmnGo. I set them up for notifications on my phone though they have been quiet since January 1st. Last I heard though they were still in Alpha testing. They clarified stating that Winter meant the season for beta testing. I know as of right now all sites claiming to provide beta access are fake. If you have a Twitter account I would recommend following him.

I think I'm more tired of the re-hash of information on various sites and rumors going around then I am the lack of information being provided.

Know exactly what you mean, if you type Pokeemon Go or Z into google news you get the same websites constantly saying both are coming out together this or next month (whichever month you are currently in)
 
Based on THIS article, Niantic will join GDC 2016 and will talk about Poke Go there.

Forget it. I just read on other article that it's cancelled....
 
I just tried to follow them, apprently the account has been suspended. :-/
It was suspended a while ago. My apologies that I didn't update the thread. On twitter I follow @NianticLabs and @pokemon and have notifications turned on for both. Seems the best way to get information. Also if you don't already know you can watch the following website pokemongo.nianticlabs.com. This is where the beta sign ups have been occurring. So far in beta is Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and United States. Still no word of an official release date. But being in the beta I can say that they are still in the early stages and a lot of things have yet to be added. I recommend that until you actually get to try it don't trust anybody's opinions. Wait and form your own.
 
I'm thinking that it'll be around the release of Sun and Moon. The US got their beta not long ago, so I imagine it'll be late 2016 or early 2017 for an official release.
 
So, according to the Treehouse at E3 today, the Go Plus will be out late July, with Go itself coming out before that. No official date, (that may come tomorrow during the Pokemon special Treehouse), but it looks like it's less than 2 months away!
