POKEMON-GO: A Real Life Horror Show


POKEMON-GO released in the United States on July 6, 2016 for mobile devices. 



The game has been a phenomenal success and it seems like everyone is playing POKEMON-GO. Gamers are able to travel between the real world and the virtual world where real locations are used to find and catch hundreds of Pokemon.

The innovative technology utilizes your phone's GPS and camera technology to allow you to hunt pokemon in your city and even take pictures of them out in the wild. Since the game is free to play, just about anyone with a smartphone can jump into the action. However, with the good comes the bad, and there have been a lot of real world horror stories from users of POKEMON-GO. Here are just a few!


People Are Finding Dead Bodies Instead of Pokemon 

Shayla Wiggins, a teenager from Wyoming, was out searching for Pokemon near their natural water sources when she found a dead body instead. The same thing happened to another player in New Hampshire where she found a corpse in a nearby lake. Dead bodies really kill the fun of a Poké-hunt.


Pokemon-Go Beacons Are Being Used For Robbery 

People are taking advantage of the fact that the game uses your location to play and are using beacons to attract players to secluded areas. Now you have the prospect that not only will you not catch Pikachu, but someone could take your phone with all of your Pokemon--on top of anything else you have of value on you at the time.



Accidents and Car Crashes Are Piling Up For Players Trying To Catch Them All 

There have been reported accidents all around the United States from people trying to catch Pokemon and not taking their own safety into account. One guy crashed his brother's car into a tree trying to catch a Lapras while driving, two guys fell off a cliff in California, and a guy was stabbed in Oregon--all while they were trying to catch them all!

Gamers Are Finding Themselves In Questionable Locations 

The whole point of POKEMON-GO is to get gamers out of the house and to explore the world while getting a little exercise in the process. However, the game has been known to lead players to some questionable places that they may have not ended up in otherwise. Players have been finding Pokestops and Pokemon in some weird and unsavory places that includes strip clubs, cemeteries, holocaust museums, and the 9/11 memorial.

Moral of the story: So kids, if you are out trying to catch Pokemon, make sure you don't blindly follow the tracker to wherever it tells you to go--because you could possibly end up in your very own horror story like some of these people have.
