lol just read this on hightimes..
man this pokemon stuff.. i just never understood this one. never got into pokemon.
glad it's bringing folks together though i guess..
Last weeks release of Pokémon GO, the augmented reality mobile game that allows players to capture virtual Pokémon in the real world, has led to a slew of bizarre incidents, from a Wyoming teen stumbling upon a dead body to armed robbers using the game to target victims. However, our favorite story, thus far, comes from a Reddit user who couldnt sleep and found himself in a park a few blocks from his house, hunting for Pokémon at 3 a.m.
So I get there and wander around a little checking out the stops and rustling around in the tall grass, then decide to go a few blocks away to see a couple more stops when I hear from the darkness a Yo, my man!' he explained. Turning, I see two sketchy looking dudes sitting on a bench in the dark. I must have walked right past them without noticing them. One of them waves, My man, check over by the blue truck over there we got an Onyx earlier.'
So I wander over by the truck and sure enough theres a ******* Onyx there, he continued. Awesome. So I end up chatting with the guys for a bit, told em where I got my Evee, they convinced me to join red team when I hit level five so we could lock **** down in the neighbourhood. Then the cop shows up.
According to the Reddit user, two twentysomething black dudes and a 40-year-old white guy chilling in the park at 3 a.m. must have looked strange, with the police assuming that they had stumbled upon a drug deal taking place.
It took a bit of talking to convince the cop we werent doing a drug deal, and a bit longer to explain the game, he said. Then the cop downloaded the ******* game on his phone and asked us how to get started.
And honestly, we think if the police gotta catch em all, they should be chasing down Pokémon, not non-violent drug offenders.
