Pokemon GO este un joc tragi-comic, deoarece dincolo de succesul titlului dezvoltat de catre compania Nintendo sta o problema majora in ceea ce priveste utilizatorii si felul in care se comporta ei in lumea reala, iar o noua intamplare pune in evidenta pericolul pe care multi il intalnesc in joc.
Conform unui utilizator al Reddit, lipsit de somn, acesta a descarcat jocul in mijlocul noptii si dupa o plimbare prin parc s-ar fi imprietenit cu cateva persoane care se aflau in preajma unei sali de fitness, el discutand cu ele despre Pokemon GO, un politist intrerupandu-i dupa scurt timp.
Avand in vedere ca prezenta celor 3 persoane in parca era dubioasa, politistului i-a venit destul de greu sa creada ca ei nu ar fi traficanti de droguri si singurul mod in care a fost convins ca nu se desfasoara vreo infractiune a fost descarcarea Pokemon GO in propriul smartphone pentru a confirma spusele tinerilor.
Povestea in sine este dubioasa si destul de greu de crezut, insa avand in vedere numarul foarte mare de intamplari pe care diversi asa-zisi utilizatori ai Pokemon GO le tot explica in ultimele zile, nimic nu mai pare chiar atat de ciudat cand vine vorba despre acest joc al companiei Nintendo.
Couldn’t sleep so I downloaded the game and took a 3am walk. There is a little park a few blocks from me that had like three pokestops and a gym, so I wandered over there to see what the game could offer. Picked up an Evee outside my house and a couple of trash pokes on the way to the park.
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!” Turning I see two sketchy looking dudes sitting on a bench in the dark. I must have walked right past them without noticing them Great. 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 there’s a fucking onyx there. 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 shit down” in the neighbourhood.
Then the cop shows up.
Yeah, so it turns out two twentysomething black dudes and a forty year old white guy chilling in the park at 3am looks strange. It took a bit of talking to convince the cop we weren’t doing a drug deal, and a bit longer to explain the game. Then the cop downloaded the fucking game on his phone and asked us how to get started.
