Pokémon GO is already a success in Australia, but the police warn of its dangers

Surely you have already read some news informing that Pokémon GO has already hit the iOS and Android app stores. If we had not written anything, it is because its arrival at these stores is being staggered and at the moment it is only available in the United States, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Australia, but there are already a couple interesting details for which we have decided to publish some of this game.

Pokémon GO is a Augmented Reality game, that is, a game in which we will use the camera of our iPhone to see real images and where the Pokémon will appear. The downside is that, if we pay attention to our smartphone, we do not pay enough attention to the world around us and the Australian police have already had to warn some users so that they do not get too carried away trying to capture a Sandshrew.

Pokémon GO may be fun, but Australian police warn of its dangers

The thing is, one of the places where you can find a Sandshrew is in the Darwin Police Station, Northern Australia, and some agents have already warned of the problems that users may encounter. When someone is trying to capture this Pokémon, what they are doing is concentrating on the screen and they can cross the road without looking if a vehicle approaches. Moreover, some of them are also entering the police station.

Users who want to play Pokémon GO and are not in the lucky countries can only be patient and wait for it to reach the App Store in their country. For now, the game is already a success in Australia, which is not surprising when it comes to a game of such famous characters that also makes use of Augmented Reality.
