Japanese officials issued a flier pleading for sensible behavior before the Pokemon Go game arrives in the country of its birth.

Japanese Government Terrified ahead of Launching Pokemon Go!

Pokemon Go hasn't even arrived in Japan yet, but the government is already concerned for its citizens' safety when it does.

In this regard, chief cabinet secretary Yoshihide Suga said that the government wants players to keep to guidelines issued by a government agency that ensures incident readiness and cybersecurity.

The agency released a one page flier warning players about issues from heatstroke to scams. It also includes practical advice, like a warning to take battery packs along because of the amount of power the game sucks up. In all it includes nine tips, meant to keep citizens safe while they play the game.

Pokemon Go is still yet to actually arrive in Japan - developers Niantic are releasing it very slowly to try and minimize overload on its already strained servers. Players can already play the game using workarounds but can't get it legitimately through the Japanese app stores.

A report suggested that the game was going to finally be released on Wednesday. That turned out to be false, with some reports suggesting it had been delayed because the leak had shown Niantic just how much demand there was for the game.

That left gamers in Akihabara, Tokyo's center for all things tech, still pining to start catching Pokemon in their neighborhoods.
