Pokemon Go promised us we'd be able to find and catch our favorite pocket monsters in the real world. And judging by screenshots from early players, it's keeping true to that promise - even if the reality is … a little less glorious than you might've thought.
See, as Pokemon Go rolls out to the public across the world, users are indeed finding Pokemon scattered about in the real world. That part is true. It's just where, specifically, that things are getting a little weird. Sometimes it works out really well, like this moment when a user found both a Persian and a Venonat:

Oh, and in your hunt for wild Pokemon, maybe don't wander into police stations. You know, suddenly I don't envy Ash Ketchum quite like I did when I was 10.
