Just yesterday, it was revealed that smartphone and Nintendo Switch free-to-play title Pok\u00e9mon Quest<\/strong><\/a> would be hitting iOS and Android in China. Unfortunately, though, it appears that things aren’t off to the best of starts.<\/p>\n

The game is just over three days away from launching in the region – a countdown clock<\/a> is ticking away as we speak – and anyone interested in downloading it for themselves has been encouraged to sign up for notifications from NetEase (the tech company responsible for running the game there). One such notification has now been reportedly sent through to players, but the message included is actually a scam.<\/p>\n
