Pokemon GO in your nation

Postby Huswyae » Sat Jul 23, 2016 10:48 am

Pokemon GO came out in Huswyae last week, and it has become the biggest selling app in Huswyaen history. There are almost 5000 Pokestops in Lacrott City. The biggest difference between Huswyaen Pokemon GO and other countries is that in Huswyae there are only 2 teams: Mysitc and Instinct. We all know Valor can go do one

The most popular and successful team in Huswyae is Instinct.

In general, Smartphones don't have a high popularity in Prussia, so neither do apps for it. Computers are way more popular, and so are computer games which usually are way more complex.

Internet is banned for the mental well-being of my citizens. They know the game exists, but cannot download it unless they happen to be near a wi-fi hotspot on the border. Instead they're highly encouraged to create non-networked clones of the game and sell or distribute them freely via flashing it onto the ROM. The legality of cloning (or bootlegging if you prefer) a video game franchise is something we turn a blind eye to.

It is legal and available, and has received some news coverage, but is nowhere near as popular here as it is in other countries. Its use is concentrated in a few large cities.

Only limited types of Pokemon are allowed to be available in urban areas for public safety reasons despite us not having automobiles, industrial area's are not allowed to have Pokemon. This has contributed to our lost in the woods death numbers. We have no restrictions on the Gyms but martial arts dojo are not considered gyms.
The company that produces the game adheres to this or they are restricted from service in our country.

In our nation's timeline, computers, video games, and the internet all have not been invented yet. So no Pokemon Global Offensive. But if it did exist in our timeline, Team Mystic would be the top team.

Pokemon Go has exploded getting over 40,000,000 downloads in just 1 hour after the release of the game. The Byzantine Pokemon Go doesn't have pokestops or Pokemon spawning in the streets or anywhere dangerous as a precaution. The most Popular Teams are Team Instinct and Team Mystic.

He, King Rudolf I finds the game to be amusingly popular, and to an extent of its popularity to be useful.
Pokestops have been placed at parks, national forests, and historical places of significance, in an attempt to get more people to pay the entry fee, or "get them more interested into the real world," as the head of parks and recreation said Monday. This means more money for the parks service to maintain their public spaces. In addition, the government has put "grey zones", or areas where the app doesn't work, inside major church grounds, military bases, airports, industrial parks, and high-crime areas of major cities. In an offhanded comment, Rudolf said, "I find it pleasing to see more children in the parks, getting some fresh air." Team Mystic is currently ahead, and sales have exceeded all other apps (Thanks impart to free advertisement provided in exchange for the edits made by the company for the government.)

Pokemon Go has proven to be one of the most popular mobile games in Pavonistadian history. In the game, Team Mystic emerged to be the most popular team. The game has become so addictive to numerous people that a player was reportedly killed while playing the game.

It's an obsolete (though not totally forgotten as IT textbooks have mentioned it as an example of a location-based game) app that someone in our nation has probably reconstructed for her personal use.

We have a similar, more mainstream game known as ScavengerWorldXXL. Developed by Wollen-Zehmer Technologies, Inc. (WZ Techno) in collaboration with a constantly expanding set of local grocery stores, restaurants, bars, health clubs, car dealerships, and even law offices, players collect various items virtually strewn about the public accommodations and public spaces in a city, which can be traded in for coupons at the local businesses that WZ Techno partners with. Although some items can be simply "picked up," some of the more prized items can only be accessed upon completion of a mini-game puzzle, such as a variant of Tetris or Mastermind, or logic puzzles or trivia games. There is also an entrepreneurial aspect to it as well, as people who have accumulated a great number of items can set up "trading posts" for players to simply buy items or even set up a sort of gambling operation based on mini-games that the people themselves set up.
I’m mostly here for... something to do, I suppose.

It is banned for all but Markgraves and higher rank.
This land is inhabited by an ancient evil that cause the dead to rise, demons to lurk in shadows, spirits to haunt everything. We have cultists, witches, ghosts, zombies, werewolves, vampires, wraiths... just about any dark force you can think of! Our traditions and way of life is designed to cope with this sinister presence.

Some of our best products are silver bullets, silver crucifixes, oaken stakes, salt, and garlic. We export a lot of sulfur (collected from defeated demons' lairs).

We have lots of cats because cats are good creatures, seeing invisible and fighting evil spirits every day. How else do you explain all the things cats do?
