Pikachu Outbreak in Yokohama

March 13, 0019 12:00 AM
Every year, more than a thousand of the popular Pokémon Pikachu march in perfect sync through Yokohama, Japan, as part of a week-long festival. You may have seen some videos of them on YouTube, perhaps with the “Imperial March” playing in the background. This procession took Japan by storm for the first time in 2014 and has since become a major tourist attraction for Pokémon fans around the world.

Gotta Catch 'Em All. Gotta See 'Em All

February 20, 0017 12:00 AM
To an outsider, July 6, 2016, was a very strange day. People flooded the streets around the globe, zombie-like, smartphones held in outstretched hands. These wanderers congregated outside churches and libraries, standing in masses united by one purpose: to “catch ‘em all.” Pokémon Go has become a trending video game, but virtual entertainment is not t he only benefit from this new app. If you’re looking for a way to wander through a city while finding interesting cultural stops along the way, this app is the way to go. This app can be used as a travel aid by going to Pokéstops. Pokéstops are locations in the real world that you can go to get free items in the virtual Pokémon world. While playing Pokémon Go on your smartphone, a blue cube will show up on the screen. That is a Pokéstop. Even though it shows up virtually, you must go there physically to get whatever items are at that stop. These items are things like healings potions, Poké Eggs, Poké Balls, and other items that will help you succeed in the game. But when you go to a Pokéstop, you’ll find more than just a virtual object. Each stop is located at a point of interest, such as an architectural landmark or a historical monument. Some of these places are well-known, while others are more obscure. This gives ample opportunities for exploring a city as long as you choose to take the time to physically explore Pokéstops.
