Transcript:
Man: Honey...who the heck is that?
Woman: No idea. Sir...what are you doing in our living room?
Rat: Sorry. The map shows there's a Pokemon in here.
Man: This might be the worst trend ever.
Rat: Don't move. He's on your wife.
Since this fad began, I’ve seen people walking outside in beautiful surroundings staring at their phones. But then, I used to see that before this fad began. I haven’t had a breakins, though.
Come on. We all know Rat doesn’t give a …. his… a** about Pokemon. He’s just using the fad to intrude and be even more obnoxious. That thing in his hand? It’s an old pocket calculator. He’s off to the lingerie department dressing rooms now. Then it’s the hospital operating room.
Where I work (somewhere in the wilds of deepest, darkest Bavaria) “Pokemon Go” is “Strengst Verboten!” which leads me to think that rare Pokenmons are using our area as a sort of refuge.
If this were a Castle Rule state, it would be a chance to get rid of Rat permanently. But, since it is Cali-frickin’-fornia, I guess Rat just gets to molest the guy’s wife. Poke, poke! Pokemon!
Rat is using this as an excuse to intrude in someone’s home. usually, if theres a pokemon nearby you can easily catch it while outside. nothing wrong with pokemon go, only stuff wrong with those who play it in the worst way possible

I wish the map was that accurate. I see all these great Pokemon showing up on my tracker, and all that appear are Pidgeys and Weedles.

I wonder how long it’s going to take for this Pokémon thing to just… go away??
