Pokemon GO has been released in select countries, including the United States. This new version of the classic game allows players to use their smart phones to venture into the real world to catch Pokemon. But the real question is, when is someone going to die?
Already Pokemon have been appearing in less-than-safe locations — or just at odd hours of the night. Some Pokefanatics have even left the comfort of their loved ones to run off into the night in order catch a fleeting pocket monster.

Pokeballs have reportedly been found on heavily guarded “shoot on sight” military bases in Australia.
There is even one in a gym located at the White House. The last person to jump the gate made it all the way to the front door. But can a true Pokemaster evade the Secret Service long enough to defeat the gym leader?
Not to mention that some people take the game very seriously.
And others are just Darwin Awards level stupid.

So whether it’s running into the middle of Sixth Avenue to catch that pesky Abra or getting mauled by a grizzly chasing Ponytas, someone in all likelihood will die playing this game.
But if you lived without catching all 150 Pokemon, can you say you really lived at all?
