Lapras Event in 2016
I came across this odd photograph while scrolling through my Twitter account last night shared by Masashi Kawashima of Niantic Labs. There Appear Some Lapras and i guess it's was a Lapras Event in 2016
I told a few acquaintances about it and chalked it up to really good luck. I was scrolling through my page when I saw a post from Pokémon GO Japan.

We verified that the frequency of encounters with Lapras has grown around the coasts of Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima prefectures. It seems that it will continue till November 23rd. It's time to go where you can enjoy the Tohoku district! We feel that there are many more wonderful things to discover besides Pokémon GO.Image
Great news! It has been established that the likelihood of seeing Lapras in Iwate, Miyagi, and the Fukishima coast has grown significantly. This abnormality seems to last till November 23. Come breathe the Tohoku air! Apart from Pokémon GO, I'm sure there will be many more exciting discoveries! This Thoku-only event is sure to make fans in other parts of Japan and throughout the globe envious. (As of the publication of this essay, this writer has yet to see a single Lapras in the wild....) Yet, the event will most certainly draw much-needed visitors to the regions worst hit by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami. It was most likely the intention of game creator Niantic Labs with the in-game event. Niantic Labs and the municipal governments of Iwate, Miyagi, Fukushima, and Kumamoto Prefectures launched a tourist partnership initiative in August. Miyagi Prefecture likewise declared in August that it was allocating 30 million yen (US$290,144) to Pokmon Go-related costs in its yearly budget. The prefecture thought that advertising PokStops and Pokmon-catching possibilities would attract people, so it decided to establish public play areas and kiosks selling items from neighboring prefectures, including Kumamoto (a Kyushu area badly damaged by earthquakes this year). With Japan being the origin and home of Pokmon, it is only fair that the nation gets the first of the non-holiday Pokmon Go events. Maybe other coastal places across the globe will see similar incidents shortly as Niantic Labs evaluates the outcomes of this one. For the time being, local gamers who are careful and keep safe while playing may take advantage of the restricted incentive. Nevertheless, since coastal places may be perilous and prone to severe winds, Lapras hunters should proceed with care. One supporter wrote, "I believe it is best not to make (Lapras) visible during typhoons or inclement weather along the beaches. It's perilous."Lapras Event in 2016 My Opinion
