Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named pygame

What is happening above? It seems to not install for anaconda. But it is directing to the right from path.

Answer 1

You are installing things into the system Python. You need to install into the Anaconda Python, using pip install pygame (note that sudo pip is likely going to use the system Python again, and using sudo with the Anaconda Python is not recommended anyway).
