That’s Pokémon Go the name of ‘ apps that connecting one smartphone to the satellite system of geolocation GPS allows you to play around in Ar (Augmented reality, “ augmented Reality “) with small” pocket monsters “( pocket monsters ) created by Nintendo in the 1996 , and then the protagonists of a video game for the console portable Game boy . In the game you should capture , to train in the gym, do combat their Pokémon against those opponents. The aim of the game was to get to complete the Pokédex , the digital encyclopedia that gathered them all and 151. In the years would become 720 .

The most famous pokémon, Pikachu , has proliferated everywhere. In Japan the small rodent, like many other characters from manga or anime ( Doraemon , Naruto , Detective Conan , etc.), it has even been reproduced in a stamp . Now, with the arrival on the market of Go Pokémon, the competition has become fierce. With Gengar , who lives in the dark and feeds of dream of the people, a twenty-five grown on bread and pokémon, Valeria Girardi (aka Hypnotic Soul ) would even like to spend their nights. The cute Diglett , who lives underground, and when appears on the surface, shows only a brown head, like a sausage vaguely phallic , you see it come out, in some circulating photos on the internet, from the fly of jeans , a suit of pajama bottoms. And then there are Gastly , Krabby , Magneton , Ponyta , Rattata , Tentacruel , Weedle … could soon give a hard time to even Pikachu Magikarp , the red and orange fish that no one would want to train: it manages to survive even in waters heavily polluted , but a yield awkward . Pokémon Go, anyway, is not very good. Indeed, quite frankly, it is pretty boring .

Hunting for Pokemon, anywhere and at any time

Many “ pokémongomani “, to add to their collection even one monster, they would do all . There are those who venture into the most dangerous places or unthinkable in which may nevertheless focused more player to search for a gym or a pokéstop , place of parking to stock by buying goods with the pokécoins , with everything you need: the necessary balls (pokeball, Megaball, ultraball) for capturing Pokémon; bait various, some deliciously scented with which to attract them; a large bag to contain them; medicines for treat Pokemon injured (after a fight); eggs as to open up on the way.

Meanwhile, those who have sensed the ‘ business equips, among neoproprietari of would gyms , hunters and coaches of monsters to payments , owners of bars and restaurants that you do advertising to favor gatherings of pokémaniaci near their local informing that the exercises are located near a pokéstop (when they can not create new ones), a goal much sought after that he has led four criminals of the Missouri to draw you some adolescents, in order to rob them.

on the net, anecdotes and surreal stories, zany , absurd on Pokémon Go, it now circulating in hundreds: in many cases it is the usual buffaloes , or partially false news or blown out of proportion, in many others the story is rather true . Meanwhile, it seems that a young American has completed its collection , capturing 142 of the 151 pokemon (the same number of initial series) theoretically available. The boy could not have done more (some of those 151 pokemon, including the coveted Mewtwo , have not yet been placed on the US market). To complete the company has captured 4,269 pokémon, and to hatch its more than 300 eggs had to walk, in two weeks, more than 150 km. A runner .
