pokemon creatures: In Japan, where fans have been waiting anxiously, the release has sparked a frenzy, according to Xinhua China. Just hours after the game release Friday, people were seen engrossed looking at their cellphones and searching for virtual Pokemon creatures on the streets of Tokyo despite the rainy weather there. The release of the game in Japan came about two weeks later than its debut in Australia, New Zealand and the U.S. earlier this month, where the game has been phenomenally popular, though it has also caused a number of accidents. In Osaka, a university student was reportedly rushed to hospital after falling downstairs while playing the game and losing a lot of blood. The Japanese government top spokesman Yoshihide Suga told a press conference Friday that he wanted gamers to "be careful not to enter dangerous zones and restricted areas." The government has issued a nine-point warning a day earlier, calling gamers not to play the game while walking, particularly on railway platforms, or while riding a bicycle, and not to enter off-limits areas. In southwestern Japan, the city of Kumamoto has asked Nintendo Co., one of the developers of the game, to exclude the quake-hit Kumamoto Castle from the game virtual map, after a man in his 20s was found trying to enter an off-limits area there.
