Amy Yensi reports the game’s popularity could also bring safety concerns.
The app fuses fantasy and reality in a virtual scavenger hunt. Now authorities are urging players to be careful.
“You just basically have to walk around until you see a Pokemon,” said one player.

“I’ve been playing since Wednesday, the day it came out,” said Alex Furman. “I’ve been out til about midnight every night.”
Pokemon Go has been downloaded on millions of smart phones since debuting last week. The game is inspired by the original video game launched in 1996 in which you catch, train and battle Pokemon. The app version lets players use GPS to find characters from the game hidden in our world.
