How to play Pokémon Go on Android right now

I just caught a bulbasaur in my office’s trash can, and so can you!

Developer Niantic and The Pokémon Company International launched Pokémon Go for iOS and Android yesterday in a select few territories, but you don’t have to wait to get some of that location-based monster-catching action. This new entry in the pocket-monster universe uses your smartphone’s GPS to track your location around the real world. As you explore your neighborhood or town, you’ll stumble across digital creatures hiding in parking lots or near public works of art. Or, at least, it works like that if you’re in Australia or New Zealand. Everyone else has to wait … unless you try our workaround.
