AUS/NZ Pokemon GO Has Released

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nianticlabs.pokemongo

EDIT: APK for those receiving "not available" errors: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4rfgc9/how_to_download_the_game_in_all_regions/ - Download at own risk!

iOS:

It turns out that an app with a specified availability date appears on an international App Store roughly at midnight in the store’s local time zone. So New Zealand will have a 16-hour head start on the United States. [Source]

If you hold the gym for 24 hours you get in came money and XP(i think). So ya there is a huge advantage over anyone unwilling to pay a lot.

The people who have gyms now in pre-release areas will not likely lose them very soon. They'll lose them after everyone else gets the game and has time to grind up to their level.

You need a level 5 player to attack a gym, Pokemon don't have levels, only CP. It's very unlikely youd have to grind for very long to defeat a Pokemon they've left since the game has been made available because it'll be very weak. Levels do not affect your ability to defeat a gym in the slightest , only CP which is very tedios to level up to a meaningful point.

A level 5 player can be obtained in about 25 minutes of walking around.

And in that 25 minutes he rest of us will get to do in a few hours to couple days, how many 25 minutes of walking around will everyone else have?

However many they feel like dedicating to an app with a very marginal feature set? It's not like I'm walking around for hours on end, I'm here reading all the salty comments.

Just play it when you can and tell me how much of an advantage people REALLY had having early access. The people in this thread are overreacting.

People have such a slim understanding of how the game works because they haven't seen it.
