How to capture that elusive Pokemon Go gym: A kayakSupplied Lizzy Eden, left, and Kelsey Thomson kayaked out to the Oriental Bay fountain to capture it within Pokemon Go. But then just as we were almost out of time we beat both of the Pokemon and took the gym," Eden said. Lizzy Eden and Kelsey Thomson, both 24, were walking down Oriental Bay in Wellington while "levelling up and Gym hunting" in Pokemon Go. To fight at a gym one needs to be close to it in the real world, hence the problem with the fountain. The game encourages real world exploration - Pokemon, Pokeballs, and gyms are located in various places all over the 'real world,' accessible only if a user literally walks their GPS-enabled smartphone to the right place.
