However, there still remains several parts of the world that don't have Pokémon Go yet, including Canada, China, Japan, and more. Because of this big European roll-out, the game has been plagued with more server issues, but rest assured, Niantic is working hard to fix them.

Our Take
It's absolutely incredible how large of an impact Pokémon Go is having right now, and it doesn't look like the craze is ending any time soon. I'm happy to see that Europe will largely be able to take part in the fun, but I'm concerned about the unstable servers as the game continues to expand to different parts of the world. Hopefully those issues will be ironed out soon enough.
