The hunt for monsters can captivate Pokémon GO trainers. A trainer from Germany has now shown that you should be careful.
What kind of clue is this? All trainers who regularly open Pokémon GO to hunt for rare and powerful monsters are probably familiar with the game’s message that appears at the beginning: “Always keep an eye on your surroundings! “Do not enter dangerous terrain when playing Pokémon GO.”
While most coaches probably don’t pay much attention to the message and quickly dismiss it, a coach from Bremerhaven has now shown that the message should be given some attention. To protect life and limb.

Hunt for Pokémon ends in water
According to a report on spiegel.de, the 42-year-old coach was so engrossed in the game that he lost his way. He ended up in the Outer Weser.
While this might be a funny anecdote during the warm months of the year, in this case it became a dangerous situation. After all, it was not only dark at the time of the incident, but also dangerously cold, with temperatures just above 0°C.
A companion of the man was able to help him by guiding him to a staircase through which he could exit the cold water. Emergency services were called to the scene and then looked after the man.
Police officials subsequently said in a statement that this was a life-threatening situation and that it was thanks to the companion that the man was able to leave the cold water so quickly.
Pay attention to your surroundings! If you play Pokémon GO yourself, take the hint at the beginning of the game seriously. Be aware of your surroundings and stay safe while hunting monsters.
