What's a keen Pokémon trainer to do in a country that hasn't yet been granted access to Pokémon Go?

A lot in China, it seems. Like many others desperate to try the explosively trending game, Chinese users have attempted a variety of methods of downloading the game, including sideloading it on Android devices and borrowing friends' iOS App Store accounts.

A crop of enterprising Chinese sellers have risen to the challenge. For **w, the game only is available in the U.S., Australia and New Zealand, so sellers are providing access to App Store accounts on China's largest online store, Taobao.
