The Pokémon crazeThese Lebanese women are playing Pokémon Go, but you can't play it in France. The game launched on 6th July in the US, Australia and New Zealand and is now available in 31 European countries. In New York’s Central Park, a large crowd was reported to have gathered after a rare Pokémon, a Vaporeon, was said to have been spotted there. It had been due to launch in France last Friday, but it is now expected to be launched on Wednesday or Thursday this week, according to L’Express. The concern about crowds is caused by the fact that all users see the same Pokémon in the same area, meaning the appearance of rarer types can lead to mass gatherings in one spot.
