The hunt for Pokemon is drawing some players into questionable places in Boston.
Looking around the Boston Common, everyone is staring at their phones, looking for Pokemon. Developers put Pokemon drops in public places for players to find, similar to virtual geocaching, but some of those locations have been causing problems.
It's been creating extra work for police, who have been making sure nothing fishy is going on outside the Governors House where a "Pokestop" is attracting kids at all hours
"Still kind of shocked," said one gamer when he realized he was outside Gov. Charlie Baker's doorstep.
A tweet from MIT police said the department is not happy that players are congregating at the memorial to honor an officer killed during the Boston Marathon bombings.The tweet said, "We do not consider playing 'Pokemon Go' to be appropriate decorum on Collier memorial. We ask all visitors to refrain from such activity."
The Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC had a similar problem, and banned the game from the building.
Players said it's getting them outdoors, and actually making them appreciate sites more.
"I learned things about the Common I never knew before, like where all the statues are. I always walked by them going to work but never really looked at them until my phone made me look at them," said Tyler Morse, a player.
State Police said so far there haven't been any incidents at Baker's home and nobody has even tried to go on the property. Police said it did take a little bit to figure out what everyone was doing when the game started.
