Even though displaying incredible strength and mindblowing pyrotechnic tricks, most of these creatures seem to
be socially friendly towards humans. There are reports of
people being woken up by Pokemon and followed around by
these same Pokemon. This shows a serious lack of respect for
personal boundaries from these creatures. At the same time
seems to only affect cell phones and tablet users. There may be
some connection between the amount of attention paid to these
device and the encounter with these creatures. This leads us to
believe that Pokemon may be keen on technological apparatus.
They also seem to be very fond of red berries which seems to
increase their empathy towards the berry provider.
Incidentally this outbreak is also leading to an increase in
college and university drop-outs as young adults are leaving
their whole life projects behind to become what is now being
called a Poke-trainer. They are choosing to take on a life of
pilgrimage in search for these species and collecting them
instead of the exhausting, neuron-killing and unrewarding life
of academic studying. Pokestops seemed to have become a

ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The authors would like to thank the University of Canterbury for providing a safe campus for the capture of pokemon
and for steadily supply of equipment to do so, through the
display of a large network of pokestops.
