Pokémon Go finally launched in Japan, it’s birthland, last week with McDonalds’ as its first partner. McDonalds’ 3000 stores in the country has been turned into Pokemon Gyms for trainers to train their Pokemons.

It has been a long wait for Japan as the US got Pokemon Go first, then Europe and then Canada. Even today’s launch hasn’t been without drama. The game has been ready to launch in Japan for days now, as we previously reported, but internal disagreement and a leak held things up.

Last week’s release coincides with school holidays in Japan but the big question is now, can the servers withstand the massive user-base across the world?

The success of Pokémon Go has seen Nintendo’s stock market price doubled. This week’s game delay saw Nintendo stock price fall for the first time since Pokémon Go’s release, but, with the game now finally out on its homeland, the gaming giant is sure to see its market cap rise up once again as its already impressive revenue is boosted both by a glut of new players and the McDonald’s deal.

McDonald’s is the first company to partner with Pokémon Go, being a sponsored location could help drive customers to branches, and other deals in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere are expected and likely to be equally as lucrative.

So far there’s no news yet of the game to be released to the rest of Asia.
