True
Chief Executive Suphachai Chearavanont told reporters the launch
will be facilitated by the company's appointment in 2014 as the
only master licensee to manage Pokemon content and expand the
business in Thailand, a fast growing mobile game market in
Southeast Asia.
The exact launch date will be decided by Japan's Nintendo, he
said, adding the game will be available for free downloads to
users of any mobile service.
True is controlled by Thai billionaire Dhanin Chearavanont's
Charoen Pokphand Group.
Pokemon GO, which marries a classic 20-year-old franchise with
augmented reality, has become an instant hit globally. Players
walk around real-life places, search out and capture Pokemon
cartoon characters on their smartphones.
