精灵宝可梦Go是一款增强现实性的游戏,但却被印度法庭指责伤害了数以万计的素食主义者的宗教情感,因此被告上法庭。
The high court in Gujarat state was asked to ban the game because its images of eggs in places of worship were "blasphemous" to Hindus and Jains.
因为该游戏在某些用于敬拜的宗教场合出现了蛋的图样,这被觉得是对耆那教的亵渎和教徒的不敬,古吉拉特邦州高等法院被需要下令禁止该游戏。

The petition also cited infringement of privacy, and a possible threat of life to the players searching for Pokemons as further grounds for banning the game.
