And, on average, players spend 43 minutes Pokémon Go. So I can say without equivocation that has captured the imagination of fans around the world.
The detail is that also has made friends with the stranger.
This has led to unintended consequences gait chasing Pikachu and his friends through the streets of the city. In addition to other problems, of which we tell you then.
1.Ladrones really
Police in Missouri, United States, reported who had arrested four suspects to attract a group of people to a place to rob them at gunpoint, using Pokémon Go.
“The way that we believe was used is that you can add a kind of beacon to attract more players (to certain places). Apparently (the thieves) used the app to locate people who were in the middle of a parking lot or other location, “he said police in the town of O’Fallon on his Facebook page.
Some places offer bonuses and larger chance of capturing rare species of Pokémon. Thieves located the place and sat down to wait.

Meanwhile, companies responsible for the game issued a statement recommending “to play Pokémon GO be attentive to their surroundings” and “playing with friends when they go to new or unfamiliar places” .
2.A corpse
in another incident, a 19-year-old found something that was not exactly a morning Pokémon last Sunday, when he was looking for Pokémones in the state of Wyoming.
app he had indicated that there was a creature near a natural watercourse. So he went to the Big Wind River.
“ I was walking towards the bridge near the shore when I saw something in the water ” he told the local channel County 10 News .
“ I had to look twice to realize it was a corpse “.
She called the police said the person who seemed to have accidentally drowned.
young, meanwhile, said the experience was “shocking”. But he thinks not but leave the game.
3.Heridos several
From the outset commentators, but also authorities foresaw the possibility of players of Pokémon Go stay as embedded co n your mobile to put endanger their own integrity.
the first to issue a warning was a police station in northern Australia, which reminded fans the healthy habit of looking at both sides of the street before crossing.
the Washington state police, US, launched a similar warning: “N ada seek Pokémones behind volante “, said on his Twitter page.
they have already begun to emerge cases.
Mike Shultz, a student of communications in New York 21 years, fell off his skateboard while searching digital monsters .
Shultz cut his hand to fall on the pavement.
Kyrie Tompkins, a web designer freelance ankle twisted to fall when he received notification that was near a Pokémon.
“the phone rang. i looked up and fell into hole” counted.
for now, however, there has been no serious incidents.
He ran through networks the species in a traffic accident of major proportions had happened in Massachusetts, but turned out to be false.
4.Apps malicious
Returning to the virtual world, has not missed who try to take advantage of impatience to attack an unsuspecting phone.
the launch of the app Pokémon has been done in stages. And the first change was so successful, that the servers collapsed, which introduced an unexpected delay.
In countries where it is not yet available, many are vulnerable to the temptation of install “alternative versions”. Comes in fake app.
According to a blog by security company Proofpoint, you are circulating some app that supposedly gives access to the game, but “virtually gives the attacker complete control of the phone of the victim”.
the program includes a tool “malicious remote control” called DroidJack, which provides access “through the backdoor” to the phone and all information contained therein.
So, if you already have Pokemon Go, remember that there is a real world where the blows hurt . And if not, be patient. Download a app false will end up hurting too
In both cases, repair damage will have to wait to embark on fever Pokémon.
