What you would usually do:

• You jump in joy, and run across the road to catch the Pokemon

• Vehicles screech to a halt, some of them crashing into one another

• If you’re lucky, you cross without a scratch, but the shock of the accident makes you temporarily forget about the Pokemon and it gets away

• If you’re not lucky, you get hit by a vehicle and sent to the hospital – the Pokemon gets away

 

What you should do:

• Calmly ascertain the approximate location of the Pokemon across the road

• Do not run straight to the Pokemon

• Find a nearby pedestrian crossing, wait for the green man to light up before crossing

• If there is no nearby crossing, look left and right/right then left to check for oncoming traffic

• If there is no oncoming traffic, cross the road calmly – DO NOT rush, this might result in tripping and falling, hurting yourself and potentially causing a road accident

• Catch the Pokemon
