In the past week since Pokémon Go was introduced in Argentina, the Metropolitan Police have registered a higher quantity of petty theft. Ricardo Pedace, the deputy of the Metropolitan Police, affirmed that in the past week, the department has noticed a spike in Pokémon-centric crime. A young college student in San Fransisco was shot and killed while playing Pokémon Go in Aquatic Park, according to the San Francisco Examiner. Unfortunately for Pokémon Go players, iPhones are real, Pokémon are not. While traipsing through strange neighborhoods on a hunt for virtual reality monster pets is ostensibly fun, your Pokémon cannot defend you against someone in your own world.
