Pokémon Go, the augmented reality mobile game from Nintendo and developer Niantic Labs, is out now for both iOS and Android in Singapore! Those of you sporting a BlackBerry Priv (and the upcoming DTEK50) – good news, you can play it natively by downloading and installing from the Google Play Store now. For those of you sporting a BlackBerry 10 device, unfortunately, it is not that simple and as of this point, only the BlackBerry Passport is able to support it with a couple of tricks.
For more tips and tricks, do refer to our original article in July.
To install Pokémon Go! on your BlackBerry Passport, a few steps are required.

Credits – Cobalt for all the mods!
Note:
BlackBerry 10 GPS system may not often work best with the Android runtime, so sometimes you maybe walking in a empty field when you actually are not.
So if you are not seeing the blue Pokémon stops, Just reboot the device and startup the Pokémon Go app again.
Catching the Pokémon in Reality mode, again, not the best idea on BlackBerry 10 device. You can turn off the camera in the top corner of the device when you find (your first) Pokémon and then you will be in Pokémon virtual world.

Note: Classic and lower devices have spotty reports of it working.
