Cianjur Regent Irvan Rivano Muchtar said, from several articles he read on the internet, the meaning of the word Pokemon itself in one language is I am Jewish. “Obviously this is an admission of you who oppress our brothers like Palestine. It is also against the teachings," he said.

According to him, the district government is currently only urging smartphone users not to play Pokemon Go, which was recently officially launched in America and will only be inaugurated in Indonesia in the near future. "Now it's just an appeal, but maybe later it will be banned if it doesn't educate and is dangerous," he said.

According to Irvan, from some news circulating if Pokemon Go can cause accidents. The reason is a game that requires users to leave the house and walk to look for this pokemon will interfere with concentration on the road. “Indeed, there has been no research, whether it is dangerous or not. But it's definitely better to anticipate before all the bad things happen. So don't focus too much on the game. When on the road look around. Don't let your busy playing learning games be neglected, everything must be balanced," he said.
