SYDNEY: A Sydney restaurant is capitalising on an appetite for all things Pokemon Go by selling a limited number of burgers based on characters from the blockbuster smartphone game.
Sydney´s Hashtag Burger and its pop-up restaurant Down N´ Out Burgers are offering 100 ´Pokeburgs´ a day until Sept. 3, with long queues of people lining up on Friday to get a taste of a yellow Pikachu, pink Charmander or green Bulbasaur burger.
Staff said the Pikachu burger with corn chip ears had proved the most popular but the restaurant had decided that customers couldn´t choose which character they get, in line with the surprise element of the augmented-reality game.
Pokemon Go, developed by Niantic and an affiliate of Japan´s Nintendo Co Ltd, sees players walk around real-life neighbourhoods to hunt down virtual cartoon characters visible only on their smartphone screens.
