[Pokemon GO Making the News] Australian Police Station Tries to Keep Pokémon Go Trainers Out

[Skip Class]

Pokémon Go launched yesterday, and it appears the game's GPS-based monster capturing is already creating all sorts of shenanigans: an Australian police station in Darwin is asking players not to enter the premises, where a Sandshrew is hidden.

"For those budding Pokémon Trainers out there using Pokémon Go - whilst the Darwin Police Station may feature as a Pokéstop, please be advised that you don't actually have to step inside in order to gain the Pokéballs [sic]," said the station in a Facebook post. "It's also a good idea to look up, away from your phone and both ways before crossing the street. That Sandshrew isn't going anywhere fast."

The account then signed off with: "Stay safe and catch 'em all!"

Pokemon Go launched in New Zealand yesterday for iOS and Android.

Well it was only a matter of time before something like this happened. It's only been less than 24 hours and I'm expecting this won't be the only Pokemon GO related headline on the news ...

Oh my god, this is hilarious. People really want Sandshrew, but imagine what lengths they'll go to for a legendary? Oh my.

Speaking of that, any legendary sightings going around on the internet?

Oh that is priceless! {XD}

Actually well handled by the Police too!

 

[Ho-Oh]

This is like the best thing ever.

It... was bound to happen. That's hilarious.

Kind of surprised the police knew what a Sandshrew was though. Well done.

If it's anything like Ingress where they have events for special things like this, I'm guessing it's more likely for legendaries to be event rather than throwing them with the rest of the pokemon. More or less, if there were actually legendaries floating around, its Niantic would be likely announce it!

(After all they'll most likely release a single legendary so that people won't have multiple).

There was somebody, that said he found regirock near the stonehenge:D. Would be fitting, but it's the internet, so you should always take stuff like that with a grain of salt. If the legendarys will indeed have locations that fit their theme, I hope regice won't be near the northpole^^...
