Pokemon Go fans in different cities are organizing parades and group hunts as the mobile game becomes a global phenomenon soaring in popularity.

Not even a month after its global launch, Pokemon Go is already wrapping up fans in frenzy. In that spirit, a group of 50 life-size cosplayers dressed up as the main character of the game, marched down the streets of Yokohama, taking pictures and shooting videos while discussing and playing the game.

Hong Kong also saw hundreds hitting the street for a “Pokewalk” to hunt down cyber creatures.

The game that is played on the basis of the players’ location is gathering up people of different ages challenging each other to capture and train the digi-pocket-monsters and making new friends along the way.
