The game was released July 7 and while few trainers could be found hunting for Pokemon that first night — at least along Ridge Road in Munster — by the weekend they were out in force and ready to bring their Pokemon to battle. Pokemon trainers were catching Drowzees in line at Meijer in Highland, Nidorans in front of the Masonic Temple in Griffith, a Pidgey by the Main Square Park Gazebo in Highland, and quite a few Rattata along White Oak Avenue in Munster. The historic Lake County Courthouse in Crown Point also has been a destination.
