Pokemon Go ‘madness’ grips Greece with thousands descending on downtown Athens (photos)
First raid organised in Facebook post
Nintendo’s virtual reality (VR) mobil app game Pokemon Go
has ‘swept’ across Greece with thousands of young people between the
ages of 15 and 25 swarming downtown Athens trying to find the charters
in the virtual world of Monastiraki and Syntagma square. At least 5,000
people took part in the Facebook call ‘Pokemon Go night tour’ raid on
Saturday. ‘Saturday, July 23 wall the Pokemon Go trainers will gather at
Syntagma Square Monastiraki for a night raid’, read the Facebook post.
People with their eyes glued to their mobile phones were scouring the
Monastiraki plaza and Syntagma square in their quest to find the app’s
little yellow characters. The new game that has gripped all fans across
the globe has boosted Apple’s profits by 3 billion dollars, according to
financial market pundits!
