The moment I ended the livestream, my phone exploded with notifications.
Not figuratively.
Literally thousands of alerts flooded in so rapidly the screen froze twice.
News agencies.
Government channels.
Social media.
International outlets.
Everyone wanted answers.
Everyone wanted statements.
Everyone wanted predictability in a world that no longer had any.

GLOBAL Reaction — Governments Under Pressure
The world was watching.
And panicking.
India had just established the first complete Pokémon regulatory system.
Other countries?
Still confused.
Still unprepared.
Still arguing.
But now?
Their citizens started demanding answers.
United States
CNN town halls exploded with angry questions.
"Where is OUR Pokémon law?!!"
"Why is India ahead of us?"
"Are our kids safe?"
The White House issued a statement:
"A National Pokémon Commission is being formed."
But Americans were furious.
"Hurry up! The world is changing!"
Japan
Japan's reaction was a mix of pride and shock.
NHK broadcasted:
"India has moved first — should Japan follow?"
Public pressure grew immediately.
"We need Pokémon schools too!"
"Why is India leading this, not us?"
Europe
EU ministers held an emergency closed-door meeting.
Leaks from inside spread online:
"India's framework is comprehensive."
"We must adapt quickly or risk uncontrolled incidents."
Citizens demanded:
"Where are our trainer licenses?!"
Middle East
Countries began discussing controlled zones and ranger units.
Saudi Arabia announced:
"We will study India's approach."
UAE began forming a Pokémon Wildlife Task Force.
China
State media cautiously praised India's swift action.
"We will monitor the program and construct our own robust framework."
Chinese social media erupted:
"We want Pokémon universities!"
"Why is India faster?!"
Africa
Several governments immediately reached out to India requesting:
• Official translated Pokémon law drafts
• Trainer safety curriculum
• Ecosystem management advice
• Zone stabilization protocols
International Organizations
The UN issued a brief statement:
"Pokémon are a global phenomenon.
Countries must collaborate.
India's framework will be studied internationally."
WHO and UNESCO both requested meetings with the Indian Pokémon Department.
Back in India
Reporters began camping outside Aarey.
TV debates ran for hours:
"Is trainer age too low?"
"Should eggs be cheaper?"
"Will wild Pokémon integrate into society?"
"Is this the start of a new global era?"
Parents called hotlines nonstop.
Schools posted FAQs.
College students petitioned for special Trainer Programs.
Aakash's name trended globally for 12 hours straight.
Articles titled:
"The Boy Who Shaped Pokémon History"
"The Teen Behind India's Pokémon Revolution"
"16-Year-Old Aakash Patil Influences National Policy"
I stared at my phone.
The world was changing at breakneck speed.
And somehow…
I was at the center of it.
_______________________________________________________
A week passed.
A week of chaos, restructuring, and the birth of a new era.
The Pokémon Regulation Act had barely settled into public memory, but the real storm was happening behind the scenes—inside ministries, universities, breeding centers, research departments, and every district headquarters across India.
And every day felt like a month.
Universities Transform
The UGC issued a national notice:
"Pokémon Trainer, Breeding, and Research Departments authorized."
Within 48 hours:
• IITs
• AIIMS medical branches
• State universities
• Agricultural universities
• Veterinary colleges
• Private institutions
All submitted project proposals.
I had to personally approve the foundational material for:
• Trainer discipline
• Pokémon biology
• Ecosystem science
• Combat algorithms
• Breeding ethics
• Zone psychology
It wasn't much—just enough to get them started.
The rest they'd have to research themselves.
And the universities responded aggressively.
Land acquisition teams immediately started buying plots near Pokémon zones.
Some universities even negotiated to build inside minor zones—after relocating or negotiating with the resident Pokémon.
India was moving fast.
The world was watching.
Zone Restructuring Across India
Over 60 minor zones across Maharashtra alone were either cleared or integrated.
Other states followed.
Two patterns emerged:
1. Docile Pokémon Zones → Breeding Bases
Pokémon like:
• Caterpie
• Lillipup
• Eevee
• Wooper
• Magikarp
• Zubat
• Psyduck
• Pidgey
These were easy to manage, harmless in groups, and incredibly useful for beginner trainers.
Zones with such species were turned into Breeding Bases.
Hundreds of them across India.
2. Zones With Evolved Leaders → Negotiation Route
If a zone had:
• Stoutland
• Vaporeon/Jolteon/Flareon/others
• Crobat
• Golduck
• Quagsire
…they were either relocated to a habitat suitable for them,
or formal agreements were drafted:
"We will provide protection.
You will provide newborns willing to join trainers."
Simple.
Effective.
Mutually beneficial.
The Weedle Base Story
One of the most heartwarming headlines came from Madhya Pradesh.
A young army soldier had found a Kakuna during the first week after the Merge.He protected it from wild Rattata.Fed it.Guarded it during molting.
Last week—it evolved into a Beedrill.
Instead of attacking him, it saluted him.
Now he was the official caretaker of India's first Weedle Breeding Base, with over 200 Weedle under his supervision.
People called him:
"The Beedrill Captain."
_________________________________________
Global Governments Race to Follow
India had moved first.
The world scrambled.
United States
They legalized Pokémon training at age 14—same as US freshmen.
"Let teenagers start earlier," politicians argued.
But unlike India, the US did not subsidize Pokémon eggs.
Pokémon sales were illegal…
…but Pokémon egg sales were NOT.
Breeding companies in the US saw the biggest financial boom in history.
A single Eevee egg sold for $20,000.
Magikarp eggs sold for $800.
Chaos.
And lawsuits.
Millions demanded India's system.
China
China took a stricter approach.
Minimum age: 18
No exceptions.
But they moved with incredible speed:
• Dozens of breeding bases established within weeks
• National Pokémon Research Bureau created
• Compulsory elementary Pokémon education announced
• Specialized military units formed immediately
They wanted full control.
And they were efficient.
Russia
Russia… took the strangest path.
Their official announcement:
"Zones belong to the people.
Entry is open.
Strong survive."
Within days, videos flooded the internet:
Russian civilians entering zones with sticks, ropes, knives—anything they had—and fighting wild Pokémon bare-handed.
Some incredible feats were recorded.
Some tragedies too.
But Russia embraced raw Darwinism:
"Natural selection will give us strong trainers."
It was brutal.
But also terrifyingly efficient.
Europe, Middle East, Africa
Most adopted India's framework.
Some modified it.
Some made it stricter.
But all acknowledged one truth:
India had set the global template.
Back in India — The Pokémon Industry Awakens
Breeding houses
Berry farms
Potion labs
Training course centers
Everything began expanding simultaneously.
The GDP forecast jumped dramatically.
The Finance Ministry sent me a confidential memo:
"Pokémon economy expected to contribute 3.2% to GDP by end of year."
Insane.
But believable.
Because the world wasn't going back to normal.
It was becoming something new.
Something bigger.
