The new Pokémon GO app for Android and iOS has been stirring up quite up a storm with some users travelling far and wide in hopes of finding their next catch.
Over the last few days, people have been sharing some incredible shots on various social networks, some more Gastly than others:
Recently, a trainer on Instagram found that, like many famous buildings in New York, Trump Tower has been tagged as a Gym. This means people can battle Donald Trump’s 58 story skyscraper and leave one Pokémon to defend it as theirs. Here’s how the building looks in game:
Interestingly, the Pokémon on top of the building appears to be a rather grumpy looking Pinsir, so, who knows how close you’ll have to get to take on the Gym here.
Another “keen” trainer shared his experience of catching a run-of-the-mill Pidgey, whilst his wife was in labour. Jonathan Theriot posted the below picture on Imgur with the caption: “When your wife is about to have a baby and a Pokemon shows up and you have to low-key catch it…”
The new father said to BuzzFeed: “As soon as it popped up, I was like, oh my gosh, there’s a Pidgey sitting on your bed! So, I screenshotted it, then caught it and showed it to her.”
I’ve been playing the game for the last couple of days and have found myself taking walks to get to my local Gym or to get better Pokémon. I’ve also found myself walking around the house or garden in hopes of making a new discovery on the mini map. This truly is a unique experience and a brilliant way to get people up and out.
SNIKT!
agreed, I’ve been walking around the city for the past 2 days sweeping out local hangout spots and stuff, and it is GLORIOUS!!!
Managed to hold a gym, but lost it this morning (only 10 hours after getting to grandma’s house in the mountains), now I gotta wait till I get back to the city on Monday to get my revenge!!!
