Don't get me wrong, I love Pokemon. Pokemon has played a huge part during my childhood. From the television series to the Gameboy game. It has brought many tears and joy.
Recently there is a mobile app game called Pokemon GO that came out. I don't know about you guys but it is actually starting to get out of hand. It took a long time before it became available in Singapore and it really build up the anticipation of the players in my country.
At first, I thought that it was just going to be a trend that will quickly go down but little did I know that it would go way out of hand.
Take a look at this image
The photo above was taken at 12.15am. I'm not even kidding. These people are out at midnight trying to catch pokemon.
This is a photo of the ready to eat food shelves at a convenience store near the location. It is absolutely insane.
I thought that was insane until I saw what was on the news today. Take a look at this.
and this...
More than 200 residence went on a Pokemon Trail organised by their local town council committee. They were all broken up into groups and headed together from landmarks to landmarks where the organisers placed "lures"(In game item that is bought that would attract rare Pokemon).
They would work in teams and get stamps at each check points where they will be qualified for a draw at the end.
I don't know about you, but I think that this game is getting a little out of hand.
