The world is down to its final few hundred Pokémon, environmentalists have revealed.

Large-scale hunting in recent times has decimated the Pokémon population, which was estimated to be in the millions just months ago.

In what has been described as a ‘wake-up call for humanity’, ordinary people have pleaded with hunters to ‘please, just stop’.

“It’s a tragedy. It’s heartbreaking to see people walking around with their phones hunting these creatures. Please, for the love of god, find something else to do,” one conservationist said.
