Almost three weeks after being released in Australia, the augmented reality game has finally arrived. It appears all OGAT citizens have been captured in the ball of madness that is the new Pokémon game. So far, there have been many positive effects connected with the release of the game. The violence in River City stopped as both the Red and Blue gangs stopped fighting and started to catch Pokémon instead. The crime rates dropped significantly all over OGAT, and the authorities noted that both robbery and murder numbers have dropped.
Despite the many benefits, there have been a few strange incidents. One of the guards in the office complex clearly did not understand the concept of the game and threw a grenade towards the location of the Pokémon on his screen. Three guards and one thief have been killed in the incident.
Another event happened in the mansion last night. A thief landed in the hospital after a failed mansion robbery:
“We were in the middle of a mansion heist when my phone suddenly starts to vibrate. I couldn’t believe it, a wild Charizard appeared right next to the Golden Potato. Naturally, I abandoned the robbery and started to catch my first Charizard. All of a sudden, two guards came in the conference room, but nobody was shooting at me. They all gathered around me and started to cheer. Then a guardian jerk entered the room and started to hit me with his baton. Other guards tried to stop him, but it was too late. I woke up in the hospital, but at least I have this,” stated the thief while showing us his 1463 CP Charizard.
However, another group of thieves stole an entire supply of canned pasta from the military camp. They somehow managed to convince the soldiers they accidentally wandered into their base trying to catch a Bulbasaur. Apparently, all soldiers on guarding duty shouted, “Where?” then started running around the base trying to catch the elusive Pokémon while leaving the canned pasta practically unguarded.
“You could say our attack was super effective,” said the thief who wishes to remain anonymous.
