Las Vegas is a city in the state of Nevada in the United States, famous for being Sin City as it is THE metropolis of nightlife, offering casinos, shows, and hotels, among other things.

Now, they are making headlines for being the first city to name their streets after Pokémon. This is happening in a suburb, where Harmony Homes is developing a complex, under the name of "Serenity Place".

In this area, one can find streets such as "Squirtle Line", "Jigglypuff Place", and "Snorlax Line" on Google Maps and it became known after a series of curious individuals began to upload images of the respective signs for these routes on social media.

The project construction management manager, Andrea Miller, stated on the news channel of Las Vegas KLAS 8 News -according to BBC UK- that it is very difficult to name a new neighborhood, as a developer must determine how many streets there will be and then submit twice the necessary names, in case some cannot be used for any reason.

And it was at that moment, while talking with his children, fans of the TV series and mobile game, PokémonGo, that they suggested naming the new arteries after their favorite characters from the fantasy universe.

What is true, Miller acknowledged omitting the iconic Pikachu to subtly maintain the theme.

It's worth highlighting that the same manager has a track record of suggesting streets be named after characters from "Paw Patrol" in another real estate project, which was well received by the families that inhabited the new complex. (In fact, Rubble and Chase streets intersect).

As of the date this information was written, The Pokémon Company has not issued a statement on the matter, so Miller is optimistic that the issue can move forward definitively.
