In less than a month since its announcement, Pokemon GO has become one of the most discussed topics in the gaming community. One question on every fan's mind is how much of the game would be free of charge.

The game's makers have already communicated that Pokemon GO would be available for free to download for iPhone and Android. Fans however are wondering if in-app purchases will prevent from enjoying the game.

"You'll be given a set amount of Poké Balls (normal plain Poké Balls) every day or maybe every week and once you run out, you can make use of the in-app purchase function to buy more Poké Balls," a fan wrote on one discussion board while speculating that other types of balls would have to be purchased.

A teaser video shows hologram of Pikachu, which has also left many fans amazed and confused if the gameplay would indeed resemble what the video shows. The game however mostly happens on phones but uses real world maps for augmented reality gameplay.

Fans have also asked if it is possible to train Pokemon and use them in battle, and if certain Pokemon would be exclusive for some regions. Pokemon GO Plus wrist device has caused curiosity and divided fan-opinion about use and effectiveness in improving gameplay.

Pokemon GO was announced earlier this month and is scheduled for an early 2016. Testing of the game, which took nearly two years to make, is expected to begin later this year.
