While lamenting the fact that I can’t have Pokemon Go right now since it’s still unavailable in my country for android phones, I realize the launch of this app may have a similar effect as when selfies were growing in popularity. There was a time that the news over here would frequently report deaths or injuries due to people trying to take selfies anywhere and everywhere.

I mean I can see it now, headlines on papers and online articles:

MAN GETS STUCK IN MANHOLE HUNTING FOR MUK

GIRL FALLS INTO RIVER CHASING AFTER A MUDKIP

WOMAN GETS STUCK ON TOP OF A TRANSMISSION TOWER TRYING TO CATCH AN ALTAIR

Just, be careful when you’re looking for pokemon in heavy traffic areas or places with lots of people. Like maybe it’s my anxiety but theft, injury, or worse could happen so STAY SAFE, POKEMON TRAINERS.
