Pokémon boss says that Pokémon Go could be heading to China and South Korea

Pokémon Go is trying to get into some key Asian territories.

The Pokémon Company president and chief executive officer Tsunekazu Ishihara said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that he hopes to bring the location-based mobile game to China and South Korea, via Gamesindustry.biz. Pokémon Go is the top-grossing game in the $36.6 billion mobile gaming industry, and it set a record as the fastest smartphone game ever to hit $500 million in revenue. Market researcher Niko Partners predicts the Chinese domestic mobile game market to reach $8.3 billion in 2017, so introducing Pokémon Go in that area could make it even more successful.
