The kicker: the incident is just the latest in a string of odd (though not entirely unexpected) events in the days since Pokémon Go launched. A young woman discovered a dead body after taking a walk by the river to catch Pokémon, and authorities have had to warn gamers against trying to enter police stations just to play. While these are all testaments to the game's sheer popularity, it's also safe to say that Nintendo and Niantic weren't entirely prepared for the consequences of encouraging so many players to hit the streets.
