Australian Police reminds Pokémon Go players to “Stay safe and catch ‘em all!”

Last night, Pokémon Go quietly began rolling out in various countries around the world including the US, Japan, New Zealand and namely, Australia, where the North Territory Police Department published a Facebook post reminding new Players of the game to stay safe and watch their surroundings when playing the GPS-based mobile game.

This message came about as many players were stopping inside the Police station which is marked as a landmark in the game as a ‘Pokestop’ where players can collect items and pokéballs from Pokéstops all over town at various landmarks.

The message tips players that they don’t need to actually enter the Police Station in order to collect pokéballs. As well as reminds players “It’s also a good idea to look up, away from your phone and both ways before crossing the street. That Sandshrew isn’t going anywhere fast.” Then ends it with “Stay safe and catch ‘em all!”

Pretty cool!
