Meanwhile : Hilary Clinton makes the worst joke of the year and of course it revolves around a hype she obviously doesn't know much about.

Those pictures are great, but my favorite is still Alex Hirsch trying to stab an Eevee in his hand...

Geez, first one gets run over by a car, and then another gets glitched? Where's the respect?

Running the app with 1%? There's a fine line between being brave and being foolish.

Hopefully he caught that Exeggcute before his smartphone went out.

I would think it would be below average and considerably substandard it's Magikarp afterall.

Considering middle age and older people have been getting into Pokemon Go whose to say she wouldn't know about the hype?

Yeah I've had my share of frustrations with Pokémon Go like when I was about to catch a hypno and the damn game freezes or when I caught an eevee and it got free of the Pokéball and grew huge enough to completely cover the entire screen of my phone. Mad

I just feel like I should mention.

1. That is a cockatiel not a parakeet.

2. That Mew Picture is Fake

The subtitle says:

このゲームでポケモンが実際にこの官邸の入り口や

Meanwhile, Yoshihide Suga, Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary, notes that Pokémon have even appeared in his residence's entrance....

Actually, "この官邸" is the building in which the Prime Minister's office is. Not Suga Yoshihide's residence.
The Chief Cabinet Secretary holds press conferences in the building which has the Prime Minister's office.
Near to the building that has the Prime Minister's office, there is the official house in which the Chief Cabinet Secretary can live. (The Chief Cabinet Secretary tends to live in his own private house, though.)

Thank you, Majora170 and shosakukan. The parakeet was a mistake on my part and the cabinet secretary's residence was a faulty assumption. The errors have been fixed.

The guy at Setagaya Park is renting powerbanks, not actual phone batteries.

Know what would've been an even better Pokémon in place of that Exeggcute? Dugtrio.

The anime mentioned early on about Magikarp being full of bones and having little meat. On the other hand, video game Pokédexes talk about Pokémon like Fearow preying on Magikarp.

The next take over scheme of the world by the Illuminati. Joke aside this is probably the worst thing since Myspace first came out.
