Specifically, the companies revealed early this morning that pre-registration is now open on both the App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android). In addition to the pre-registration opening up, the game has also added a number of instructional videos to YouTube which explain how to play and various aspects related to that such as the evolution of Pokemon within the game.

It’s also been revealed that Pokemon Masters will see a sort of limited release in Singapore for Android devices today, and will also feature a similar release in Canada. The press release for the game describes this as a “preview version” with “select content” available for folks to play ahead of its full release. It sounds like a demo, but with progress and saves that will transfer over to the full thing when it’s out.
