Pokémon GO can now be downloaded via the official channels of the App Store and Google Play.

Download Pokemon GO on iOS
In iOS it works a bit more cumbersome. In the App Store on your iPhone or iPad, go to the Featuredtab. Scroll down and go to Apple ID > Sign Out. Scroll down again and press the flag. Select the Australian flag. Then find any app and press To download. Apple will ask you to log in or create an account. Do the latter. Enter your details (make sure you use a valid email address from which you have the details). Make up an address in the Billing Address field (use 2000 as zip code) and activate your account via email. You can now download Pokémon GO from the Australian App Store.
