A group of 300 Pokemon Go players were pelted with water bombs in Sydney’s inner-west, after nearby residents grew tired of the gamers congregating outside their apartment buildings late into the night.

The fed up residents in Rhodes took matters into their own hands on Monday night when crowds of people began gathering at Peg Paterson Park – an intersection of three ‘Pokestops’.

Police were called on Monday and Tuesday night to disperse the crowds with some gamers claiming they were threatened with fines.

Adam Shalala was one player that was in the crowd when the water bombs were thrown.

“The backlash has started,” he wrote on a Pokemon Go Facebook page. “300 of us in Rhodes got water bombed by the residents in the apartments. Stay safe everyone.”

The water bombing claims attracted comments online from other Pokemon Go players expressing their disappointment at the outcome.

“Why are people such haters! Hopefully that just attracted more rare water Pokemon!” one woman wrote.
