Pokémon Go and One Piece crossover to aid earthquake reconstruction
To support the reconstruction effort following the devastating 2016 earthquake in Kumamoto, Japan, Pokémon Go is setting loose One Piece-themed Straw Hat Pikachus for trainers to catch worldwide.
It's not the first time the game has supported the area after an earthquake - back in 2017, Pokémon Go flooded the area with Snorlaxes hoping to entice more trainers to visit and support the site.
This year's event is a collaboration with One Piece creator and manga artist, Eiichiro Oda, a native of Kumamoto, who is also providing art for a special PokéStop in the area: a statue of One Piece character Monkey D. Luffy.
