All this time I have thought that seeing around ten Pokemon Go enthusiasts in The Company’s Garden was amazing, but there’s nothing like the shit that’s been going down in the States and most probably the cause for Pokemon Go‘s servers being down the whole weekend.

Videos showing people flocking to an area after alerts of rare Pokemon sightings were sent out have found their way to the Internet – and they show that people have been going a little cuckoo.
Here’s what happened when a Squirtle showed up at Downtown Park in Bellevue, Washington. Check how that dude just nudged his friend out of the way.
Just a little hint: You can turn off AR mode.
