“We are excited to announce that Pokémon GO is officially available to Trainers in Germany,” Pokemon Go announced on Wednesday (13/7) on its official website.
With an official Indonesian release imminent, savvy businesses across the country have begun harvesting the game’s unique featured — requiring players to travel around and explore different areas to find and catch Pokémon.
The National Museum, Jakarta, suggested players, known as Pokémon trainers, hunt the little monsters through the institution’s grounds on Monday.
“Are you a Pokémon master/trainer? Come hunt Pokémon at the National Museum. It will add to your knowledge in a fun way!,” the Museum National tweeted.
Motorcycle taxi ride-hailing application Go-Jek also did not want to miss the opportunity to benefit from the game.
“Wanna seek Pokémon? Go with Gojek,” the ride hailing app said.
Qraved.com, a Jakarta-based restaurant search and reservation site, joined the parade after launching a list of restaurants close to Pokéstops — places where players can get free items to enhance game experience — around the Sudirman area.
The app — created by license owner Pokémon Company, multinational consumer electronics and software company Nintendo and Google’s spin-off software developer Niantic — itself, according to Quartz, has seen its players in the US alone spend $1.6 million each day on in-app purchases.
