Inside of three days, Pokemon Go had more users that Twitter, with the title forecasted to eclipse both Snapchat and Google Maps in the coming days.

There have also been plenty of reports of people falling over and grazing or cutting themselves because they’re not paying attention to what’s in front of them while they play.

Update: After its slight delay from last week, Pokemon Go has officially launched in the UK.

“Pokemon Go”, the newly released and hugely popular smartphone game from mobile app developer Niantic, is generating controversy that goes beyond the usual concerns about poorly spent time.

On the contrary, official game of Pokemon Go doesn’t need any of these permissions.

Since its launch on Wednesday, Pokemon Go has been the most downloaded app on different platforms in the US.

To play “Pokemon Go”, gamers use their mobile devices to find and capture virtual Pokemon characters at various real-life locations.

In another instance, players following digital lures within the game were directed to a sex shop.

And if the internet is anything to go by, maybe the Game of Thrones world is a good place to start.

Safety: Players should use the same safety precautions while playing the game that they would in any other outdoor setting, including caution in odd locations.

Niantic is said to be pondering a worldwide launch of Pokemon Go, but until this happens, the company has released the game in one more country. Android users only give the app access to limited data, like their email address. If you don’t own a gym, you’ll want to fight to take it.
