Pokemon Go created a world of controversy when it was first released in 2017.
With their green backpacks equipped, and smartphones held high into the air.
Common sense was disregarded, and the laws or violations that stood in their way.
But now as the emergency list grows longer; they can look back in dismay.
This gamer is going to need a stern talking to from his parents after the injuries he sustained.
You would think a seventy year old man was past this sort of thing but obviously not.
Next her then held the man down as his son brutally punched him in the head repeatedly.
Fortunately the attack was stopped by a bystander before any further escalation could take place.
The victim suffered facial abrasions, a traumatic eye injury and a broken fingertip.
This was just one of many added to the countless tally of Pokemon road related deaths and injuries.
For this young player luck was not on his side.
Like many of the accidents on the list, this one was caused by another distraction.
He was rushed to hospital but sadly died shortly after.
There was only one problem with this location.
Chen put the car in reverse and was shot 10 times in quick succession by the trigger happy guard.
Five of the bullets hit Chen in the upper arm and chest with the rest piercing the windscreen.
He immediately died before he could be taken to a hospital.
