I have seen some adult content made with such Pokémon game characters like Nurato. So, maybe it's got something to do with influencing the rating. I'm not really sure.

Come on, that is not justifiable at all. Any character can be manipulated by any third parties, that doesn't mean PEGI will sack the whole game for that. Most importantly, Pokemon Go game is based on real life map setting, where you have to search out for pokemons on the streets. There are no adult contents there.

Why they don't have a strict game rating system or protocol on how the rating is carried out is definitely something that's keep worrying me over a long time now.

They are supposed to have one since they're the body who's in change of stuff like this but PEGI has been a huge screw up over the last decade.

Not only PEGI, ESRB and all other rating system has been disappointment over the time. All these needs a major overhaul, changes of the rules and implementation of those rules in required. Hopefully, they will be doing it soon.

These organizations have been corrupted by the triple A companies and so they always have their backs instead of looking out for the consumer.

Money can do everything. Those companies, which are investing huge sum for developing a game, can easily manipulate those rating organisation, just for their benefit. I am not sure, but I am quite sure that such companies do these things in backend.

Yeah - it's definitely not justifiable but there may be a situation link up between the two. It may or may not have any influence on the ratings.

Yup. That may or may not have influence, most likely not. But whatever may be the reason, Pokemon Go was banned initially in out country too. The main reason being people getting too addicted for searching for pokemons, literally had accidents while crossing/walking on roads.

Isn't it merely a part of them getting addicted to the game and not like any other thing? If you can't control your addiction and get into accidents who's to be blamed?
