As TechCrunch noted, this latest Asian expansion leaves out three huge mobile markets: China, Korea and India. Niantic CEO John Hanke explained to Forbes in July that they're having trouble expanding to Korea, because the country's Google Maps info is pretty limited due to security concerns over the North's activities. In China, the company still has regulatory hurdles to overcome. It's unclear why the game's still not out in India, but Niantic admitted in the past that its server problems have been slowing down the game's rollout.
