The game was announced in June 2020 and has hardly been heard from since, although a first beta was released some time ago in China, but it seems that now some players will have the opportunity to play very soon .
A beta outside of Europe
It will be in March and, yes, only Canadians will be able to participate. This was announced by The Pokémon Company International in a statement in which they explained that since it was shown for the first time they have incorporated new playable Pokémon and have made important changes to the gameplay, in addition to improving the graphics.
Players who want to join the Canadian beta can do so as long as they reside in that country and play from Android devices . To sign up they will have to go to the Play Store, although the regional limitation will prevent everyone who does not live in Canada from doing so.
** Although the beta is exclusive to Android, it does not mean that there will not be another one on iOS devices ** and, as is often the case in many mobile spin-offs of the franchise in recent years, on Nintendo Switch, so it is expect it to be compatible with remote.
The announcement has also left curious details, such as the notice that you must be 16 years old to participate and that all the progress made during the beta will be restarted, something that is not surprising because it is quite common in this type of testing of the new games so that no one has an advantage. Another curious aspect is that it is totally forbidden to capture or broadcast gameplay of this regional beta, so players from the rest of the world . However, it would not be strange that in the coming days there are official announcements on the occasion of Pokémon Day .
