Gotta catch ém all. But how far would you go to?

People have gone crazy trying to catch their favourite Pokémon. In a recent video posted by a Twitter user Izzy Nobre, people are seen running around in Central Park, New York to catch a Vaporeon, one of the evolved forms of Eevee.

A huge crowd of Pokémon GO players created a stampede like situation in an attempt to catch the Pokémon.

The augmented reality app uses a smartphone’s camera and GPS to catch Pokémon in the real world. It is free, easy to download and play. It fulfils an old fantasy: Pokémon fans can become Pokémon masters.

This game is vastly different from the console-based game, as one has to physically move around in the real world and capture Pokémon in their surroundings. You find water type Pokémons near places with water and grass type Pokémons near parks.
