For players of the wildly popular game who can't stop themselves from searching for Pokemon absolutely everywhere, congratulations: Lines have been drawn for you.
Pokemon Go was released in Japan on July 22.
Sometimes we need to be saved from ourselves. For those Pokemon Go addicts who couldn't seem to stop themselves from playing absolutely everywhere -- no matter how somber or sacred the place -- there are now some boundaries.
The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park in Japan and the US Holocaust Memorial Museum are now Pokemon-free, after the game's developer, Niantic Labs, honored the institutions' requests to remove all traces of the game at those places. The Associated Press reported the news earlier Monday. A spokesman for the Holocaust museum confirmed it's no longer a Pokestop, nor are there Pokemon in the museum.
Arlington National Cemetery is still in the game, though it requested to be removed several weeks ago, according to a spokeswoman.
The wildly popular augmented-reality game surpassed 75 million downloads less than three weeks after its release in early July.
Niantic Labs did not respond to a request for comment.
Update, 9:15 a.m. PT August 9: Added comment from Arlington National Cemetery.
