> At the plant’s entrance, a sign warned: “Games like Pokemon GO are forbidden within the facility.”

Was this a thing people were doing? Going to a nuclear disaster site as part of a game?

[Zaita]

Signs forbidden the use of games like Pokemon Go are quite common across Japans. You find them at many Temples etc. Many cafes/bars/eateries have signs out the front with drawings of the Pokemon you'd find nearby with Pokemon Go.

Source. Went through Japan playing Pokemon Go.. saw many many Japanese people playing Pokemon Go. And signs.. signs with Pokemon everywhere.

A number of Russian middle class volunteers who fought in Donbass war treated it as kind of similar experience - an adventurous game/vacation, a "noble quest to defend 'Russian world' from dark forces of fascism and imperialism".

Is there an evidence of that? We could open a case for these war crimes.

[trhway]

It wasn't war crimes, it was participation in a civil war fighting armed volunteer and regular forces of the other side.

Could also be workers at the site on their lunch breaks.

[Barrin92]

maybe they thought they could find a genuine pokemon?

[thesmallestcat]

It's exactly the sort of place where you'd find the baddest pokemon in the game.

[faceplanted]

Definitely the kind of place you should find Ditto.
