Changes

*The city of Ishinomaki has received the highest Lapras concentration out of the hundredths of kilometers making the coast. Imgur*Ishinomaki is ~450 450km away from Tokyo. By car it takes around 5 hours 1-way. By train, a round trip takes around ~23000 yens (~$200) and 6 hours.*While it's not the only town to have suffered from the 2011 tsunami, Ishinomaki indeed got large areas completely razed ( Imgur Imgur Imgur ).

*Large congestions have been reported on the roads for the first week-end of the event. Imgur Imgur*Local mascots are ready Imgur Imgur.*Local specialities are ready too Imgur Imgur Imgur.*Surge of "tourists" Imgur Imgur Imgur Imgur Imgur Imgur.*There is indeed a lot of Laprases Lapras to catch Imgur Imgur . On social media, someone reported catching a 100% [[IV ]] [[Frost Breath ]] / [[Blizzard ]] Lapras.*A lot of people didn't have time to reorganize their schedule for the first week end since the event was announced on fridayFriday. Even more people are expected next week for the second and last week end.

*The estimated cost of the event is supposed to be around 30,000,000 yen (~$280,000). It was actually announced 2 months ago, on september September 2, that the Miyagi prefecture was planning such an event, although nobody paid much attention to that ( http://www.inside-games.jp/article/2016/09/02/101516.html ). The initial target period reported in the article was for October.*It was mentioning "prefecture limited pokemons[[Pokemon]]" without specifically pointing Lapras.

**15,000,000 JPY (~$140,000) in advertisment advertisement costs, pokestops [[Pokestop]]s maps, tours.

*There has been calls on japanese Japanese social media to hold a similar event in the Kumamoto prefecture, which was struck by multiple earthquakes in 2016. Since "kuma" means bear and Kumamoto has Kumamon as a mascot Imgur , people would like massive Snorlaxes [[Snorlax]] spawns.*Katsuya Takasu (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katsuya_Takasu https://twitter.com/katsuyatakasu ), a famous plastician Plastic surgeon in Japan, has said he's ok paying 30,000,000 yen by himself to get a similar event in Kumamoto. ( http://pokego1212.wp.xdomain.jp/?p=64532 http://pokemongo-master.com/archives/8976 ).*The current proposal from him ( Imgur ) asks for an event that would spawn in Kumamoto regional pokemons Pokemon non available in Japan ([[Tauros]], [[Kangaskhan ]] and [[Mr . Mime]]). If it's not possible, the alternative would be a Lapras spawn event similar to the Tohoku one, or a massive flood of [[Dratini]].*Multiple reports on reddit seems to point that Lapras spawns around the world have significantly been reduced since the start of the Japan event. In Japan too the usual Lapras spawning spots, outside of the event area, seems to have gone dry since fridayFriday.
