It has launch on 6th August 2016, sorry but I have been too busy and thus only blog about it now. I presume the craze of this starts from overseas? Ever since it has come to Singapore about three weeks ago, almost everyone's eyes are now glued to their mobile phones now. There is a guy who claims that he has caught ALL the pokémons and Nintendo even award him a trip for free!!! You can read more about it here
In order to move your in-game Avatar, you really have to walk around in your real world. Of course, I do understand that there are some people who cheat using some sort of hacking device to cheat without walking. But that's another story.
I am pretty excited each time I caught a different kind of pokémon other than what I already have. Someday, I hope to complete my collection. Or maybe not. Because I heard that there are some pokémon that are only available overseas.
It is a very bad omen timing that somehow, the launching of the pokémon in Singapore, clashing with the opening of the hungry ghost festival. I do not know was it a mere coincidence? Already bodies has been found while playing pokémon by some players. In Chinese, we have this belief of not hanging out at night after certain timing due to thing ying chi (dark) of the spirits. But I think Singaporeans in general, just disregard this ever since the game launch
Although I don't agree with what they are doing, I just hope that everyone can play responsibility and have some basic moral antics.
Meanwhile, have fun playing the game! But don't neglect your main responsibility and real world responsibilities and your love ones
