It looked like a festive gathering, with families and couples
sitting around and chatting while glancing at their mobile
phones.
Then they suddenly sprang to their feet and most of them dashed
across the road, forcing some vehicles to brake to avoid hitting
them.
The reason? A rare and powerful Pokemon called Snorlax had just
been spotted.
This was the chaotic scene near Block 401, Hougang Avenue 10, at
9.25pm yesterday as scores of Pokemon Go players risked their lives
in their haste to try to catch a prized Pokemon.
As they left the amphitheatre near Block 401 to head to Punggol
Park, where the Snorlax had been seen, many of them ran across
Hougang Avenue 8 without checking for oncoming traffic first.
