Then again, this is a game about BREEDING monsters.
So maybe the people who wrote it think it doesn't count unless it produces offspring.
Pokemon Go is a mess. Bulgarian kids have been chasing them in minefields, a couple of people walked off cliffs while looking at their phones instead of where their feet were going, people after Pokestops have done breaking & entering, they've interrupted funerals, there've been car crashes where people were trying to get to monsters that had appeared nearby, the Holocaust Museum has had its lectures & ceremonies interrupted, some cathedral in Boston has continually had problems with people breaking in, a couple of trespassing kids got shot, somebody fired a rifle at a car in Florida where they thought the people inside were drug dealers looking for a stash of dope, (but he was a lousy shot, thank goodness; he only got one of the tires).
This game seems like about fifty lawsuits waiting to happen.
