The new Pokémon Go game has blown up and people from all over the world have been playing the game. In the game, your objective is to find Pokémon, catch them and then join a team and take over all the Gyms. There are also Pokéstops where you can get items. The game is based on where you are located in real life, and it looks like some armed robbers have taken advantage of this.

New reports were released that armed robbers in Missouri have been able to rob 11 players that were between the age of 16 and 18 years old. They did this by setting up a beacon at a Pokéstop and then waiting for the individuals to come by.
The new game has caused many new discoveries to be made, and overall has just got people to go outside more. Even in the country where I live (where Pokémon Go isn't even out yet) there are people waiting at Gyms and Pokéstops.
I think the idea for Pokémon Go is great but the developers of the game will need to find ways to fix the problems the game has created. Do you think the same? Let us know in the comments down below and connect with us on social media!
