Pokemon fans accidentally wander over US-Canada borderThere are no borders in the world of Pokemon Go. But two young fans of the hit smartphone game were so preoccupied with catching cartoon monsters that they wandered across the US-Canada border in real life. Other Pokemon Go players have not been so lucky, finding themselves the victims of robbery or violent crimes. US Border Patrol agents spotted the pair illegally walking from Canada into the US on Thursday evening, the agency’s office in Sweetgrass, Montana said in a statement. The free app uses satellite locations, graphics and camera capabilities to overlay cartoon monsters on real-world settings, challenging players to capture and train the creatures for battles.
