If you’re in France and you’re wondering why you’ve suddenly started seeing a lot more people than usual with eyes glued to their smartphones, now you know why. The arrival of Pokémon Go in France has prompted scenes like those in a Bordeaux park that were caught on video that you’d think were people running in blind panic from something sinister. “Drivers, do not play Pokémon Go,” the Gendarmerie Nationale tweeted before the game’s release. The arrival of the game has also provoked some worried reactions in France.
