In that sense, Ego is a virtual-pet simulator with a human-like avatar. But once you take your character online to interact with others, you begin to see the greater personality-based social networking possibilities.
Your alter-ego's interaction with others determines its interests. Flirting or kissing will make your ego an outgoing softie, while arguing and fighting will make your ego sort of a jerk. But occasionally, a divine hand will strike your ego with a predetermined archetype, like policeman or med student, unlocking new clothing and accessories for your ego to use. While you're forming your personality, it can be a little hard to predict the exact effects of certain actions -- eating a piece of fruit, for example, makes your ego more passive, while eating a hamburger will make your ego more aggressive".

The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.
There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.
Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
