As beta testing for "Pokemon Go" already began in Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, "Pokemon Go" has now kicked off its beta field testing in the United States.

According to the Niantic's official blog post, players who are interested can click the link in order to sign up and participate in the beta. However, signing up will not guarantee instant access to the beta field test. According to the post, "The Pokémon GO field test will give users the opportunity to share early feedback and help improve the Pokémon GO experience."

Alongside the announcement of the US beta testing, new information regarding the game was also revealed. John Hanke, VP of Google's Niantic Labs, confirmed the implementation of the Pokemon Gym system where players can train and battle other players' Pokemon. If the player is victorious, they take control of the gym. These gyms are located in real-world landmarks, such as art installations or historical places like how they implemented the PokeStops. The battle in the gym can also lead players to discover items like great balls. It is also reported that players will be rewarded with badges that will serve as an award for accomplishing certain goals.  

With new information revealed, this has definitely heightened both anticipation of and interest in the game. "Get on your feet and step outside to find and catch wild Pokémon. Explore cities and towns around where you live and even around the globe to capture as many Pokémon as you can. As you move around, your smartphone will vibrate to let you know you're near a Pokémon. Once you've encountered a Pokémon, take aim on your smartphone's touch screen and throw a Poké Ball to catch it. Be careful when you try to catch it, or it might run away! Also look for PokéStops located at interesting places, such as public art installations, historical markers, and monuments, where you can collect more Poké Balls and other items," The Pokémon Company shares on its official blog.

More "Pokemon Go" news updates and beta field testing information coming soon.
