Toronto city officials are asking the developers of the popular mobile game Pokemon Go to remove locations from the city's downtown ferry terminal that has been overwhelmed by thousands of players. That enthusiasm has led players to visit many real world locations and we have received requests to remove some locations. The game sends players into the real world to search for digital monsters known as Pokemon, which appear on screen when users hold up their devices. The spokesman said he's reached out to the team to see if they have any updates on the specific locations Toronto officials are asking to be removed. A city spokesman said Wednesday nearly a dozen of the game's digital beacons — called Pokestops and Pokegyms — are located at the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal and have overrun the area.
