Pokémon GO non è ancora uscito ufficialmente in Italia, ma già da un paio di giorni è possibile giocarci (QUI trovate le istruzioni per scaricarlo). Una delle prime cose che si nota all’avvio del titolo è che un sacco di punti di riferimento (come i PokéStop) sono chiese.
Considerando che non tutti i giocatori sono religiosi, potrebbe essere piuttosto imbarazzante aggirarsi nei dintorni di una chiesa per scovare nuovi mostriciattoli tascabili o trovare oggetti, e sono in tanti a pensarla in questo modo. Visti i precedenti tra Pokémon e le questioni spirituali, per non parlare della pura permalosità della religione, molti giocatori si sono divertiti a scherzare sulla loro esperienza con le chiese sui social network. Qui sotto riportiamo qualche tweet divertente.
My first two pokestops on Pokemon Go were at a church and thought God was telling me something. Then my 3rd was KFC and I knew he was right

Downloaded Pokémon Go and it told me my nearest shop was in our local church down the road. Nice try, God!

So the church next to my house is a PokeStop in Pokemon Go which means I can finally tell my grandma about all the time I spend at church.

What if #pokemonGO is just a conspiracy to get young people go to church?

Perché così tante chiese? Si tratta di una semplice supposizione, ma è possibile che siano state selezionate perché considerati “luoghi più sicuri” da visitare rispetto ai locali standard.
