Police Dealing With Pokemon GO Chaos In Tokyo

Which has looked like this:

Damn. Folks have been running to catch Lapras, ignoring traffic lights in the process and causing all sorts of headaches, hazards and potential accidents. Because of the Pokemon’s location, people are overwhelming the roads and spilling out into traffic.

Twitter users have been calling this a “Lapras panic.”

According to NHK, the police have contacted the game’s developers, asking them for their cooperation to ensure this Pocket Monster’s location is in a safer place.

As bad as the Lapras panic is, Taiwan perhaps still holds the record for the worst Pokemon GO stampedes.
