Pokemon Go has taken the world by storm. It’s caused accidents of all kinds and is growing rapidly, as players can’t seem to get enough of the game. But what has apparently happened in Taiwan is pure absurdity.

The above and below clips show Taiwanese Pokemon Go players stampeding the Taiwanโ€™s Xinbeitou district to catch specific players (although unverified as of now, the below video shows players running to catch a Snorlax in the area). As seen in these videos, the scene during the day and night is absolutely outrageous and dangerous.

This mass hysteria over a simple game is mind-boggling. And if it wasn’t obvious, people will do absolutely anything to catch a Pokemon.
