most interesting ridiculous and
downright insane things that have
happened to people while playing this
hit augmented reality game I will be a
Pokemon master
Pokemon master get to bed
number 10 water bomb attack welcome to
lecture number 8 on the water balloon
yesterday I asked everyone to think of
other liquids you could fill a balloon
with water Oh a suburb of Sydney
Australia roads is a hot spot for
players to come together set up lures
and capture Pokemon trainers are
particularly attracted to the
neighborhoods Pegg Patterson Park which
hosts several pokey stops along with a
number of apartment buildings
understandably some locals aren’t
pleased that crowds of hundreds and even
thousands have been gathering there late
at night on one especially noisy evening
residents started to hurl water bombs at
the 300 people outside so get hit by it
what about it they were also bombarded
with eggs and we’re not talking about
Pokemon eggs the cops threatened players
with a $200 fine if they refuse to leave
keep this in mind guys if you’re
catching pokémon late at night in a
residential area try not to be so
Exploud
number nine trainer gets stabbed and
keeps playing I saw him go by and I was
like you playing Pokemon go or whatever
you know and he’s like what I was like
Pokemon go and then like I guess he
wanted the battle or something cuz he
just came out with a knife so Michael
Baker is a living testament to the
phrase the game must go on while hunting
Pokemon in Forest Grove Oregon this
young man was suddenly stabbed by a
complete stranger now usually when a
person gets knifed their first instinct
is to seek immediate medical attention
but Baker simply had to catch em all and
continued on his Pokemon journey we
admire his determination but this guy
might want to sort out his priorities as
for Michael he says he’ll be careful
next time but will continue his mission
to be the best Baker would eventually go
to the hospital and get eight stitches
in his shoulder although he stopped at a
convenience store for chips and beer
first this trainer might have risked his
life but nobody ever said becoming a
Pokemon master was easy we have a
driveway you know it’s a Pokemon
emergency number eight rent gets man
fired you’re fired
if you’re a Pokemon fan living in
Australia New Zealand or the United
States July 6 2016 was probably the
greatest day of your life while Pokemon
go became available in these three lucky
countries the rest of the world had to
impatiently wait
this news infuriated Australians sunny
true yen who was working in Singapore
when the game launched to express his
frustration tree an took to Facebook and
wrote quote you can’t can catch pokemon
in this piece-of-shit country tree ends
comments didn’t reflect well on his
employers at 99 Co who had recently
hired him as their vice president of
digital marketing Tru yen was fired
shortly thereafter on the bright side he
can now become a full-time pokemon
trainer now that I’m 10 I can finally
get my Pokemon license ten year olds can
get a beginner pokémon from Professor
Oak the town’s Pokemon expert number
seven Pokemon vs. Isis in the realm of
Pokemon Team Rocket is the greatest
threat imaginable
in the real world however Isis is double
trouble to say the least while fighting
in Iraq American soldier Luis Park
didn’t capture Isis leader Abu Bakr
al-baghdadi but he did capture a
squirtle playing Pokemon go on the
frontline park was not only armed with a
pokeball but a machine gun as well his
photo of squirtle went viral on Facebook
leading some to argue that parks should
have been battling Isis instead of
battling pokémon although to be fair
when you’re going up against terrorists
you need all the help you can get
so having a blast oice in your corner
certainly couldn’t hurt number 6
robbers capture Pokemon trainers Team
Rocket will now take possession of your
Pokemon
to draw in more Pokemon users can drop
lore modules at pokey stops so as you
can imagine these beacons attract
Pokemon go players like a venomoth to a
flame in Missouri armed robbers used
this to their advantage
enticing players with lures and holding
them up at gunpoint we’ve heard of
hunting Pokemon but whoever heard of
hunting Pokemon trainers if they’re
gonna try to rob our Pokemon we might as
well make it a battle yeah we can’t just
surrender let’s fight back the thieves
robbed a total of eleven players before
the police arrested four suspects
ranging from ages 16 to 18 charged with
first degree robbery the adult suspects
had their bond set at $100,000 each
number 5 man caught cheating you King
Kong although the purpose of this app is
to catch Pokemon it can also be used to
catch your two-timing lover in the act
Evan Scribner made the mistake of
capturing a Pokemon at his ex’s house
while cheating on his girlfriend
utilizing your device’s GPS this
location-based game keeps a record of
where your Pokemon are captured so when
Scribner girlfriend opened Pokemon go on
his phone she was able to pinpoint
exactly where her man had been as you
might have guessed
Scribner is now a single man then again
it’s not like this is the first time a
videogame has put a damper on someone’s
love life you got you could you gotta
see this through the eyes of a woman you
know what is she gonna think when she
comes in here oh look he’s got a billion
toys been more video games than a
teenaged asian kid number 4 car hits
player the car came flying up the hill
and I was in the middle of it but I
tried to get out of the way so I didn’t
get hit fully Pokemon Go has encouraged
countless gamers to explore the great
outdoors although some kids might have
been better off staying home after
catching a Pokemon at a museum autumn
dizer Roth attempted to cross a busy
street and got hit by a car
the Pennsylvania teen was then rushed to
the hospital where her injuries were
treated both dies Roth and her mother
blame Pokemon
go for this accident but many have
debated that it’s not the game’s fault
kids don’t just cross a highway you know
they’re not going to walk across a
highway for no reason
this thing had her walking across a
highway to find a Pokemon after all the
loading screen reminds people upfront to
be alert at all times and stay aware of
your surroundings or you just need to
calm down we need to think for a second
please need to think this out thinking
we need a number three trainers fall off
cliff you know listening man Oh crikey
Pokemon go sent two players over the
edge no seriously it literally sent them
over the edge of a cliff while playing
the game in San Diego’s North County
these Californians were guided to an
ocean Bluff the area was fenced off with
warning signs but that wasn’t going to
stop the guys from being the best on top
of the fact that there are several signs
out here warning you of how dangerous
these cliffs and these Bluffs are in
this section there is a strong heavy
barricade in place keeping you from
getting any closer
since both young men had their heads in
the clouds neither noticed the seaside
cliff below one fell all the way to the
beach while the other was discovered
roughly fifty feet down the cliff
fortunately both survived and only
suffered minor injuries I’m in an
extraordinary a large amount of pain the
bone has gone through the skin we wonder
if nurse joy and Chauncey ever dealt
with this kind of Pokemon emergency if
there’s anything I can do please just
tell me you can be more responsible Oh
number two players hop zoo fence it
wasn’t the most responsible thing but
hey got a catch mom remember when people
went to zoos to see living breathing
animals well we all live in a Pokemon
world now on Facebook 25-year old Robin
bartholomae posted quote I am NOT above
breaking and entering for a Pokemon she
was not joking along with 26-year old
Adrian Crawford bartholomae jumped the
fence at Toledo Zoo in pursuit of
Pokemon we go into the bear pit
after being discovered near a tiger
exhibit the two were arrested and
charged with criminal trespass clearly
the craze has gotten people playing up
the wazoo bartholomae has since admitted
that her actions weren’t very
responsible acknowledging that even a
Charizard isn’t worth going to jail for
Charizard
I didn’t say start before we get to our
top pick here are some honorable
mentions
you
number one players crash into Quebec
City cops it’s safe to say that many of
the accidents involving Pokemon go are
vehicle related crashing your car into a
tree while playing the game is one thing
but crashing into two quebec city cops
is another level of bad luck in the
parking lot of a library a driver and
passenger were playing pokemon go in a
car the pre-occupied driver reversed the
vehicle and rammed into a nearby police
cruiser
fortunately the two cops inside weren’t
seriously injured the driver actually
got off fairly easily to merely
receiving two $30.00 tickets
it’s just a good thing these players
didn’t crash into Officer Jenny and
guess where do you think you’re going
