There is a growing trend of gangs of thugs who play pokemon. A 15 Year old boy in Atlanta was accosted by a group of 5 pokemon players from a rival team. The boy was trying to capture a gym they held when the group unleashed a flurry of blows and took his phone before running off. The boy escaped with minor injuries. He said in a statement, "I can't believe I lost them all". Authorities are looking for the individuals at this time. If anyone has information that could lead to the arrest of these people please contact the Atlanta PD.
A spokesman for the police said the public should always be aware of their surroundings and if they feel unsafe to whip out their Snorlax with 5000 CP that should scare them off. If not Your Clefairy may be able to disarm them with it’s voice. But the best defense is to run like hell.
With this threat Nintendo issued a statement saying this entire post is bogus and
