8 photos that show 'Pokemon GO' is exploding in Japan
"Pokémon GO" has been available in Japan for just one day, but Pokémon fever is already sweeping the country.

It's already a huge hit in America and across the world, but these eight photos from the game's release in Pokémon's country of origin show just how popular the franchise really is.
