The community of Pokémon GO around the world is very big, but also very united, because in different parts of the world there are groups where players meet. However, although everything is camaraderie and jokes; this weekend the community of Querétaro in Mexico received very bad news.
The user George Cruz, who was very loved by that game group, that many even knew live and was recognized for his simplicity and companionship, lost his life as a victim of COVID-19.
The news surprised the user group, because before the pandemic many were still able to live with him.
As a form of tribute, dozens of players decided to trade their companion Pokémon for a Gengar, favorite character of the “coach”, also all changed the name to 8GeorgeCruz8.
In addition, they want all of Mexico to pay tribute, so they are inviting Pokémon GO players to put “bait modules” in all the Pokestops that they can, since these attachments release a kind of flower petals, so it would be similar to taking them virtually to where their remains rest.
Pokémon GO is still a widely played game
This game for mobile devices was born in 2016 in a partnership between Nintendo and Niatic, being one of the first augmented reality video games for cell phones.
At first the game was a great phenomenon that drew thousands of people on the street, but over time its number of followers has dropped; However, It is estimated that worldwide it has about 150 million players. While between iOS and Android there are a billion downloads since 2016.
