fyi a koffing is poison type

of all places …

I’m not sure if it’s real or not, but I saw a picture of somebody trying to catch a rat-looking Pokémon in front of Auschwitz, which…yeah, I really hope that’s not real.

ETA: Some of this might be false reporting; the museums apparently have asked not to be included, but the above claim in the article is apparently likely not true.

I don’t doubt you, but is there a source?

Again, I’m hoping it was just a hoax, but this is link: http://nymag.com/selectall/2016/07/yes-you-can-catch-pokemon-at-auschwitz.html

As far as I know the museum has an issue with being a pokestop (someone put a lure on the pokestop yesterday I believe) and with people going there to play the game/playing the game while there regardless of what exact Pokemon they are catching, which is fair. Also seen similar ‘maybe not appropriate’ comments about the 9/11 memorial though unlike the holocaust museum I don’t think that’s a specific in game location just somewhere pokemon can be.

I’m not totally sure how the system to generate Pokemon in places works but even if koffing specifically in a hoax there re legit pictures if people catching Pokemon in the museum and the image even of fake raises the possibility that that Pokemon could appear there.

I was also wondering about the camps, we cant get the game legitimately yet in Europe (people do have it, but I imagine this might come up again when more people do) but that article does mention they had issues with this kind of location with ingres so hopefully they have thought to put in some sort of controls in this time (but currently its not looking like it unfortunately – when I last looked the company hadn’t responded to the museum’s request to not be a location for the game and I haven’t seen any response from them this morning but they may have dine by now?).

The specific question me and my housemate were wondering last night was whether you could catch ghost Pokemon at night at locations like Auschwitz, the 9/11 memorial, etc (and then I suppose more specifically is it possible poison gas Pokemon would generate at Auschwitz or the holocaust museum even if that hasn’t come up yet) cause its a significant oversight on someone’s part if you can and just maybe those kinds of locations should be black spots for the app just in general
