Pokemon Go is blasphemous and should be banned, an Indian court was told Wednesday, because it rewards religious vegetarians with eggs, reports AFP. Dave said the court would now ask the Gujarat and Indian governments as well as the San Francisco-based makers of Pokemon to respond to the claims. The global Pokemon Go craze has prompted a slew of complaints, with religious sites arguing that it is disrespectful to play there and some countries imposing a complete ban. The game was recently updated to remove the Hiroshima and Berlin Holocaust memorials as Pokemon landmarks. A Russian blogger has been charged with offending religious believers and inciting hatred after filming himself playing Pokemon Go in a church.
