Women play "Pokemon Go" in front of a McDonald's restaurant in Tokyo, Friday, July 22, 2016. The Japan launch of "Pokemon Go" on Friday included the game's first partnership with an outside company: fast-food giant McDonald's. About 400 McDonald's Japan outlets are "gyms," where players can battle on their smartphones. The other 2,500 are "Pokestops," where they can get items to play the game. The hope is, presumably, that they may also buy a Big Mac in the process. (AP Photo/Koji Sasahara)
