Niantic Labs on twitter recently announced that the Field Test will be coming to Australia/NZ later this month. To be in the Field Test you will need to sign up HERE and selected people will be able to use the Field Test. Will you be able to do this Field Test?
Here is some information from the site to keep in mind.

Compatibility:
Android: Version 4.3 and above is required. We currently do not support Intel Atom-based Android devices.

iPhone: iPhone 5 with iOS 8 and above is required.

Playability is not guaranteed on all devices.


Other Info:
Field testers will receive no premiums or monetary rewards, nor will they be reimbursed for any data usage. Please consider the actual improvement of game as the reward for participating the program.

Test player accounts and game data will not be transferred to the release version. Game progression and data will be wiped multiple times during the course of the field test. Due to the nature of this field test, game data can be erased inadvertently at any time.

Field testers will be selected based on a variety of factors which may include OS-types, experience in real world games and an element of luck. Selected participants will receive an email with detailed instructions and requirements.

You can only sign up with a GMail account.

It's true, millions of Aussies suffer from buffer desese.

Anyway let's get back on topic, Do you guys think maybe they will bring more generations of Pokemon in future updates?

According to reddit teardowns, only Gen 1 mons were found in the japanese apks

I'm abit dissapointed about your data being wiped a few time during the field test. It won't matter that much though since you can't transfer it to the full version anyway.

I know, that's why in future updates

Due to it being a field test, perhaps that's why. Anyways, according r/pokemongo, the three teams will be Red, Blue and Yellow. Which one will you be joining?

well, I never played the originals since I've never had the time and by the looks of it these are named after the original games, but I'll probably go with red or blue

I just hope that not that many people sign up so I will be accepted but that's unlikely.

if you get accepted, DUMP THE APP FILE!

I have the Japanese apk already but I don't know what to do with the unity files and it's already been dumped.

You also need a gmail to sign up for the field test.

It's useless. The app will check your connection and will confirm if you actually got an invite. If you don't have an invite and you still proceed to run the app, Niantic will track you down and will ban you.

Remove the Japanese APK, immediately, Niantic is good at tracking down things.

Oh and to those that plan to leak things, make sure there's no watermark on the image and none of your personal information is shown.

 

[ElyosOfTheAbyss]

I wonder if when you get banned from the field test you are banned from the final version as well?

Pokemon GO eh? Does GO stand for "Get Out" or something? Because it looks like you have to catch your Pokemon outdoors

What about Pokemon Get Outdoors, I wonder if there will be any Pokemon I can catch in my house

What do Australians need Pokemon GO for? Their local wildlife already competes with Pokemon.

I was mostly joking, but now that you mention it if this was truly the case the United States and it's territories would've been the better option considering Alaska, West coast NA, Florida, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii. China has a lot going for it as well, but I am not sure about western Chinese cities. I've only read about cities and provinces of eastern China...

Maybe they wanted to target a certain number of climates, or a particular one?

Well, America has more people in it and if they go with australia and NZ there is less people so maybe they can spread it around more then with america?

I dunno, I figured they'd test it in Japan first of all. Large population, lots of outdoor areas and landmarks.
