Jigglypuff and Jesus? Churches Nationwide Captured by ‘Pokemon Go’ Game Craze

(Reported By Christian News Network) Reports nationwide are outlining how purported churches across the country are being pulled in by one of the latest societal crazes: Pokemon Go, a mobile game that has users on their feet and out on the town in an effort to capture Pokemon characters at various “PokeStops” set by the game’s creators. Gamers seek to “catch ’em all” as they scout out various Pokemon creatures—some comical, some crabby—such as a Weedle,

a Jigglypuff, a Poliwag, a Hypno, a Jynx and Vaporeon. Users may find Pokemon eggs at PokeStops, which will “hatch” when the player walks a certain distance, or they may throw a PokeBall to catch spotted Pokemon. According to reports, the game, which was rolled out earlier this month, currently has over 7.5 million daily users. CONTINUE
