With no Pokémon available to catch in the area, the athletes are having a tough time at the Village.


Here's what American diver Abby Johnston tweeted:



"I wish I could run around in the (athletes') village catching Pokemon," New Zealand soccer player Anna Green told The Associated Press. "I just can't get it on the phone. It's fine, but it would have been something fun to do."


Green said she’ll train instead.


The Associate Press report further added that Niantic didn’t reply to a request for comment on when the game might be released in Brazil.
