You can, of course, wait until the official presentation takes place in Russia, but this release is unlikely to suit the players. Moreover, the developers do not name the exact release date in Russia.
Android
The easiest way is to install the application on an Android-based gadget. To do this you need:
- go to the settings of your smartphone running Android OS;
- uncheck the box that prohibits downloading from unverified sources;
- download the APK file and unpack it;
- After that, you can launch the game on Android; you can use your existing Google account to log in.
iPhone or iPad
Owners of iOS-based devices will have to do a little trickery, namely, make a new Apple ID, making the device “believe” that the player is in the USA, since the application is not yet available in Russia. This is not difficult to do, you just need to:
- sign out of your Apple ID;
- create a new one, indicating your country of residence USA;
- download the application, after which you can launch it
So, despite the fact that the official launch date of Pokemon go in Russia is still unknown, players have the opportunity to start catching and training Pokemon. To do this, you need to be the owner of an iPhone or an Android device.

Pokémon GO, Nintendo's mobile game, was released last week. In 4.5 hours it reached the top of the App Store, and in five days after its release, Nintendo shares rose by 25%. In the US, the game was installed on 5% of all Android smartphones, which is more than smartphones with the Tinder app. On July 8, players spent an average of 43 minutes on Pokémon GO, more than WhatsApp and Instagram. So far the game is officially available only in three countries - the USA, Australia and New Zealand. However, unofficially it can be played in Russia.
Pokémon GO was made with the participation of Niantic studio, which is developing the mobile game Ingress. In it, people with smartphones must move around the city to capture points and recapture them from the enemy team. Pokémon GO has similar mechanics. The game tells you that a Pokémon has been found nearby, you walk a few blocks to it (or further), point the camera, watch it stand in the middle of a familiar street, and throw a virtual Pokeball. Caught Pokemon are trained and pitted against other players' Pokemon. The gameplay is completely tied to the map: some Pokemon live near water, others in parks, and others only in Australia.
To play, you need to constantly walk and visit locations unknown to you before. This leads to curious and tragic cases: in the early days, people found Pokemon in hospitals, in cemeteries , in a crowd of police And other places; one player was so carried away by the search that he fell into a ditch, another was looking for a water Pokemon and found a corpse by the river. In St. Louis, criminals came up with the idea of robbing people at pokespots.
In Russia, the game sometimes works with errors: it asks you to log in, loses your location. There aren’t very many people, you can’t buy anything, but it’s fun to play. Pokémon GO fits into your life in such a way that you simply won't be able to ignore the Jigglypuff on the next street. The Village explains how to install the game in Russia.
How to install Pokémon GO on iOS
Go to your iPhone or iPad settings, Find the “iTunes Store and App Store” item, click on your Apple ID and sign out.
Return to settings, go to “General”, and then to “Language and Region” and select the USA (you can also select Australia or New Zealand).
Find Pokémon GO in the App Store. This can be done through a search in the store, but it is better to follow the link.
When you try to download the game, The App Store will prompt you to create a new Apple ID account. Register it for a second email address that you have not used before in the App Store.
Enter USA as your country of residence, as well as an address in some American city (for example, Oakland, 482 25th Street, but it does not have to be real) and a real zip code (for example, 94612). And refuse to provide your bank card details.
After installation, you can sign out of your new Apple ID and go into the old one. But the game will not be updated this way, so sometimes you will have to log out of your Apple ID and log into a new one. If you do not have a US bank card, you will not be able to purchase anything within the game.
When will the game officially be released in Russia?, you may have to reinstall it, but from the old Apple ID. Achievements in the game will most likely be saved.
How to install Pokémon GO on Android
To run the game on an Android smartphone, you need to install its ARK file.
Before doing this, go to settings, select Screen lock and security. In it, allow the installation of applications not only from Google Play (item “Unknown sources”).
Download the latest game installation file. Many media outlets recommend taking it from the APK Mirror website (at the time of publication of the note, version 0.29.0 was there).
Click on the downloaded file in the notification center and wait for the installation to complete.
Then check if the game has access to the camera, memory and GPS on your smartphone. To do this, go to the settings, then go to the “Applications” item, find Pokémon GO there and select “Permissions” in its settings. If the game doesn't have permissions, give them.
The game will most likely not be updated automatically, so new versions will have to be downloaded from APK Mirror and installed manually.
We were “pleased” by the fact that now the game no longer runs on Android devices with root or custom ROM. We have previously written about how, but this method does not help all users. Today we will talk about the Magisk program, which will allow us to get rid of the error and enjoy our favorite game. This method works on almost all smartphones and tablets running Android.
Magisk is a small application that allows you to “disable” root for the Pokemon GO application or any other application that uses Android Pay technology.
I advise you to make a complete backup of your data before you start installing Magisk. You may also need to repeat the procedure several times before everything works as it should.
The best solution would be a complete reset to factory settings - and after that do everything according to the instructions. But if this is not suitable for you, make sure that you have made a full backup of your data!
Attention: the instructions have been tested on several devices, but you perform all actions at your own peril and risk! If you are not confident in your abilities and do not understand the risks, don’t take it! You can install the version and hope that the developers will soon change their decision to block rooted devices.

Step three

Step seven

This method is the most efficient for launching Pokemon GO on Android from root – tested. However, it requires a certain technical knowledge. It is impossible to fit all the nuances into one instruction (for example, installing a custom recovery on a phone - TWRP or CWM). This information for a specific phone can be found on 4pda and the corresponding portals. Write in the comments about your successes and failures - and we will wait for good news from the developer.
