I am listening to the term 'Pokemon Go' a lot lately. Even one of the radiostations in the Netherlands had a discussion about this new game. But that wasn't quite because it's released. In fact, Pokemon Go isn't available in the App Store for the Netherlands yet. But people still get this game by just changing their location... *facepalm*

But there's more: Pokemon Go has been in the newsflashes quite a lot because of weird moments and... accidents. Yes, accidents. I'm talking about a person who seemed to hunt for Pokemon on the freaking highway. And the worst part: This person was also the driver. You should know hunting for Pokemon AND focussing on the road isn't a good combination... And this person already figured it out.

Another thing that also mentions Pokemon Go: A few teenagers were hunting for Pokemon, but they saw an old person in a river. They tried to save her life, but she already died. I'm not gonna say this is good, but the game HAS it's good sides: If the game was meant for inside the house, those teenagers wouldn't even be there. Then they couldn't make a chance for the person to survive. (Although that chance failed...)

But more good sides: You're outside. Aah, fresh air. I've heard they called the game Pokemon Go, because...
Well... You're outside, to GO for a walk. And in the meantime, playing Pokemon. That should be good
enough for me to afford the game... If i had a mobile phone...

If you heard a weird moment on the news about Pokemon Go locally, maybe you can discuss it here?

   Well, there's bound to be weird and sad news soon with Pokemon Go, I guess? There's a Australian man at Singapore who complained that there wasn't a app for Pokemon Go there, and got sacked. Not really that weird, I guess.   
   The only thing I find weird about this app, is that there are places where you are not expected to go to, like restaurants and more. Imagine finding a Pokemon at a restaurants with reservations.
   Unfortunately though, I can't really play this game since the GPS is really bad on my Ipad.

VizzedGuy111 : Well, someone got warned because he walked in a police office while playing Pokemon Go. I don't know what happened further with him, but this is all i know.

Not sure if this is true or not, but I heard there was a guy playing Pokemon Go and he fell off the balcony (like I said, it could be true, it could be false). Another story (this one is real) is about a man catching a pidgey in front of his wife giving birth to their daughter in the hospital. He posed it on the internet, and it became very very popular.

A lot of stories have happened behind this game, but those are the ones that pop in my mind.

The NYC newspaper had a freaking feature article on it lol.

The biggest news piece so far for Pokemon go happened like 3 days ago I think when this girl was looking for Pokemon and discovered a dead body. It was determined that the guy drowned though.

When I went into the vape shop I always buy my liquid and coils from, one of the 2 clerks / salespeople there was playing the game on his phone. He actually went into the back of the shop as I was leaving to try and get closer to / catch a Pokémon that was close by. Him and the other clerk were going back and forth making fun of each other over the game and it was pretty funny.

I saw a story somewhere (not sure if it's true or not due to the source) that someone actually got arrested for trespassing while trying to catch a Pokémon. It was some deserted looking field that was private property of some company nearby I guess, and they called police when they saw the guy "snooping" around on the premises lol. I mean they had a fence and everything, so it's his own fault for climbing it if it really did happen

Well, I went over to Canal Street in Downtown New Orleans and I seen 2 Pokemon GO players literally walked right into each other, and yelled at each other. I then told myself "Pokemon GO + New Orleans residents + walking around like weirdos = major amounts of stupidity."

I also seen someone playing the game until he got a phone call and basically called that person a "MF SoaB" and said that he wrecked his life, and he threw his phone on the ground breaking his phone.

Well,he does not have to worry about random phone calls again. lol. This falls more under the 'what were you thinking category'.

1. A lot of people are playing it in the Holocaust Museum. You go there to learn about history,not to catch Pokemon. It is disrespectful.

2. A guy was working his IT job and was pointing his phone in places where photography is not allowed. I believe he was fired and possibly blacklisted.
