Pokmon Go Finally Released in Home Country Japan
Posted in: Uncategorized
Office workers and children on summer vacation streamed out onto Tokyo’s streets on Friday to play Pokmon Go, after the hit mobile game was released in its home country.
Anticipation had been building for weeks in Japan, the country that gave birth to the franchise two decades ago. The smartphone game, which topped the country’s download charts just like it did on its U.S. debut earlier this month, lets users collect virtual “pocket monsters” scattered throughout the city on a digital map and battle them against each other.
By lunchtime, with parks and benches still wet after a morning drizzle, dozens of people outside Tokyo station were playing Pokmon Go while eating sandwiches and rice balls. Children congregated at a Pokmon store and at McDonald’s outlets, which are among the digital pit stops where people can collect tools and train their monsters.
