Tauros is locked to US, but I've seen a couple of gyms have him in Sydney. Either they are hatched, or someone was either on holidays in US or a US citizen on holidays here. The coding is there in the game

My folks just spent 4 weeks in the US and I was tempted to ask them to catch one over there for me (ie log into my account and catch it) but decided against it for fear of being banned. Would have been nice though.
On the popularity side, yeah the game has died quickly. This is what happens when they open the game only partly finished and don't provide any major updates since it came out. I had a FB group that was active daily, now it is down to maybe 1 or 2 posts from members a week.
They are so focused on rolling it out to other countries that they are not providing current players with incentives to keep playing. Only so much appeal you can get from constantly throwing pokeballs and gym battles.
I turn it on maybe once a week if I have nothing better to do. Otherwise I'm done with the game until some decent content arrives. It shouldn't take this long for PVP, trading and a better system for raising and battling pokemon.
Don't even get me started on the battle system which is just a tapping frenzy, no skill really involved. I miss the old Gameboy battle system.

My sis is in Japan and we've been aiming for the same thing. I've caught her a Kangaskhan now that they're so common, and am waiting for her to catch me a Farfetch'd. I suppose if my account was banned because of this I'll just stop playing altogether, so no huge loss.
+1. Give us better gameplay and 90's graphics! Do appreciate that all the Pokemon sounds makes are from the original game.

I like the new appraise feature, anything decent will head straight to the candy factory.
Anything strong will keep for later to check IV stats.

Well my pokemon adventures are over. Can't believe they are blocking everyone with a rooted phone. It is like the best thing about androids! Oh well, at least I won't be there to witness them completely screw this game up although I'm a little pissed about all the wasted hours and money...

Not necessary, some pass the account to someone in US to catch one.

According to the official Pokémon GO Trainer guidelines players are, shockingly, not allowed to cheat.
"Methods of cheating, unfortunately, are limited only by cheaters’ imaginations, but include at a minimum the following:... sharing accounts...".
The Pokémon GO Terms of Service states that:
"...our Trainer Guidelines... govern your use of our Services."
In other words, breach of the Guidelines can give rise to a reason to apply the banhammer. Given that they can "terminate your access to and use of the Services, at [their] sole discretion, at any time and without notice to you", there is a good chance that you could get banned for this.
For the time being I wouldn't suggest account sharing. Just wait until trading starts, which at the current rate should be some time in the next 5 years...

Managed to get a PoGo Plus device and it is awesome.
With my "new" list down to 13 Pokemon that I can at the moment, my reason for hunting is candies and XP.
Being able to use the plus while driving gives me a chance to get a few Stop and Pokemon I wouldn't have been able to get before.
It is not perfect at all, but it is good.
