Wednesday was a special day, like Nintendo and Niantic Labs released Pokemon GO in the United States, Australia and New Zealand. And a man showed how Pokemon GO was his, playing the "augmented reality" mobile application that his wife gave birth to their daughter.
Jonathan Theriot posted a screencap of a Pidgey of Pokemon GO standing on his wife's hospital bed Jessica to Imgur. Theriot told BuzzFeed that he played the game pending a caesarean. "When he arose, I thought, oh my god, there is a Pidgey sitting on your bed!" He told BuzzFeed. "So I screenshotted, then caught and showed him." The full image can be seen below:
The image quickly went viral on Reddit and Imgur, earning almost 00,000 views and leading to many jokes and derogatory comments. "Do you want a divorce?" A Imgur user wrote. "Because that's how you get a divorce." But Theriot said the only game sparked a eyeroll his wife.
Theroit caught the Pidgey and daughter (the couple named Ireland rather than after Pokemon) was born later that morning.
MMDA reminds players to look both ways while playing Pokemon GO -
No doubt aware of Pokemon GO "of addiction, the metropolitan Manila development Authority reminds local players to practice safely screening. In particular, the MMDA has Facebook to emphasize road safety and, of course, stress that players should look both ways before crossing a street.
Although Pokemon GO is not officially available in the Philippines at the moment, many users in restricted areas circumvented the application by Geolock hacking their phones. As such, all players worldwide have already begun their quest to catch 'em all, and tons of good and bad things come from the popularity of the application. On the other hand, people head outside and exercise as they track the ever-elusive Pokemon that can save their homes and workplaces. However, other players have become traumatized because they got injured or even stumbled over dead bodies while playing the real-time play.
Hoping to prevent pedestrian accidents, the MMDA showed his funny Facebook message reminding players to check before crossing streets and using gateways during their trip. The post also warns novice trainers Pokemon s' seedy belly: Team Rocket, or in this case, the thieves can certainly be a threat to the players. The MMDA recommends players to be vigilante of their environment and property so that they will not get their Pokeballs, potions, or even pick-pockets portfolios.
Currently, it is difficult to know when Pokemon GO will make its world debut as both Nintendo and Niantic, the developer of the application, delay the release until that they are reassessing the servers of the game. After the release of the application in Australia, New Zealand and the United States, the game struggled to meet the demands of fans that log-in players to find Pokemon GO server errors to launch. Because the application is as one of the most downloaded from online stores, it seems as if Pokemon GO still has some kinks to fix when it comes to the overcrowding issue.
However, Manila citizens are ready for any challenges Pokemon GO bring them once the game goes global. And, in a way comforting hilarious, it looks like their hometown officials are just as willing to keep your eyes for unconscious accident-prone Pokemon masters.
Pokemon GO leads to the discovery of Second Corpse -
At this stage, each policeman should just wear Pokemon GO -enabled phone with them at all times.
last week about the discovery of a dead body found in Riverton, Wyoming by a 19-year-old Pokemon gamer. Now a second body was added to the list, the latter located in Nashua, New Hampshire. A Pokemon GO player played the game at a local park when he spotted the body floating in the water of Salmon Creek. This took place around 14:00 (via WHDH)
After the discovery, rescue teams pulled the body out of the water, but at this time there is no cause of death.
This mirrors the first case also, as the victim was also spotted floating in a lake. Shayla Wiggins, who discovered the body, just trying to find some type of water Pokemon when she came on her.
Pokemon GO motivates people to travel to areas they do not usually frequent, so that people perform on new discoveries is not unexpected. For those discovered to be dead bodies, well, this is certainly unexpected.
Earlier this week we talked about the benefits of the game Pokemon Go mental health. Players report positive effects of the game with the treatment of mental health issues like depression and anxiety. However, the game has the potential negative health consequences as well.
While the game encourages players to walk, many players spend most of their time looking at their phones instead of their environment. There have been numerous accounts of players sprain their ankles, tripping, or falling because they were mindful of Pokemon Go instead of watching where they were going. Bikers and car drivers playing Pokemon Go are at particularly high risk for accidents, causing many organizations from traffic and local law enforcement to release reminders not to drive and play Pokemon. It feels like it is a matter of time before we hear the first fatal accident caused by or related to Pokemon Go .
In a recent article in Live Science on the positive health effects of Pokemon Go , Dale Bond, associate professor of psychiatry at Brown University, warned that some players might try playing too Pokemon Go in one day, which could lead to muscle pain and stress fractures. Bond encouraged Pokemon Go players who are not used to physical activity to build their activity rate slowly.
Pokemon Go will have a net positive effect on health for most players, and it's not like the mobile application will cause cancer or heart disease. However, players are encouraged to be aware of their surroundings and use common sense while playing.

The Nintendo stock began to rise almost immediately after the release of Pokemon but GO game crazy popularity and use only helped prices continue to evolve. the number of daily active user stack with Google Maps and Snapchat, two of the most popular applications on the market.
With the massive success of Pokemon GO, we can expect to see more games from Nintendo bust in the mobile market of the game. The company owns some of the most popular and well known titles available, including Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda . If any of those who arrive in an application store any time soon, we'll just have to hope that the servers can hold up.
Nintendo rolls in the green thanks to Pokemon GO . Nintendo's share price increased by 9% a day after the release of Pokemon GO, a new augmented reality mobile app that allows players to catch and battle Pokemon in the real world. Thank you to soaring stock prices, Nintendo now has a market value of $ 23 billion.
Pokemon GO jumped to first place on the Apple App Store and game servers crashed several times due to the overwhelming amount of users. While Pokemon GO is free to play, many analysts believe that the game would be profitable for Nintendo because of optional microtransactions and huge user base. After all, if one million users spent $ 0.99 per day on the application (the lowest levels microtransaction), Nintendo would see $ 1 million in profit a day.
Nintendo is trying to move their playing style to include mobile games. After the release of Miimoto, a social media application that allows players to interact with each other by Miis, Nintendo promised to release at least four other mobile applications this year. Nintendo will also release a new game console in 2017. Nintendo expects mobile game to become a profit center for the company, with expectations that it will increase their profits up to 33%.
In a traditional Pokemon game, players move their Pokemon in their race to the high hours of Pokemon battles. Since fighting is de-emphasized in Pokemon GO , the game uses a different way to evolve Pokemon: specialized candy that can be used to feed and evolve Pokemon. The process is quite simple, but here are some tips to make changing your Pokemon as effective as possible.
Players get sweets every time they catch or hatch a Pokémon, so it is in your interest to take literally every Pokémon you find. It is also a good idea to "transfer" (AKA get rid of) any Pokemon you do not want, as you get an extra candy by doing so. You will also have the same type of candy for all Pokemon in the same evolutionary line. For example, the capture and release of Kakuna you will get a total of 4 Weedle Candy. Here is how Pokémon you'll need to catch and release to fully develop certain types of Pokémon:
32 Catch and transfers : Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Nidoran (male and female), Oddish, Bellsprout, Poliwag, Abra, Machop, Geodude, Gastly, Dratini
100 catch and transfers : Magikarp
It is also important to note that the evolution Pokemon will give them a big boost in CP. Thus, it may make more sense for you to evolve a Pidgey more powerful it is to evolve a low Pidgeotto. If you want to get an idea how strong a Pokemon is, you can check the strength Pokémon is looking bow on top of the PC. More white point is right, the more powerful your Pokemon is.
It is also wise to wait to spend your candy to feed a Pokémon until it is completely evolved. Evolving Pokemon will randomly change the movements of your Pokemon, so you do not want to feed a Pokémon, and then see the moves lower when it evolves.
Another important note: Eevee evolutions are completely random. Eevee will evolve to be a Jolteon, Vaporeon or a Flareon, but you do not get to choose how it evolves. Supposedly, the three Eeveelutions appear in nature when you reach a certain level, so do not despair if you do not get the change you want on the first try.
If you are willing to evolve a Pokémon, consider using a first lucky egg. The evolution of a Pokémon gives you 1000 XP, and one lucky egg that will not duplicate XP to 00 XP.
We hope these tips will help you evolve your Pokemon a little faster and help you get some powerful Pokemon!
Pokemon GO is released in the United States, Australia and New Zealand.
