Pokemon Go 56-year-old Player Assaulted his 55-year-old Friend over Pokemon Go
Violence is a big no-no. But a small amount of “violence” can be funny sometimes.
There was a situation in Hokkaido, Japan, where two middle-aged men got into a heated argument over Pokemon GO, which grew into police arresting one of the men.
The 56-year-old Kento Sato and his friend were arguing in a car for a Gym in Pokemon GO. Sato later said, “I got angry because he had gone ahead and took my encampment.”
Both men admitted to having known each other for a few years after meeting through the game.
Sato is accused of grabbing the man by his chest through the window of his car and damaging his side-view mirror by kicking it.
Both men were competing for control of the same Gym.
Then, Sato grabbed his friend by the chest and gave him a kick which destroyed the driver’s side mirror. Then the friend called the police on him, which resulted in Sato getting arrested.
It is absurd and funny how can middle-aged men argue over a virtual “Gym.”
