Pokemon GO is serious business. Swim with me in the Lake of Rage if old.
Jesus christ. As a Go player in a busy area I've definitely had gym scuffles and it's hard to imagine spending an ounce of actual stress on that bullshit.
This is exactly the thing to come to mind when reading the summaries, lol.
"Prosecutors said Robert Matteuzzi jumped in, dunked the victim and held him underwater while his son punched him."
I legit would fear for my life and think I was about to die if this happened

Most Pokemon fans I've met are cool...but there's just so goddamn many of us that there are also a ton of reeeeeeeeeeeeal fuckin' stinkers on this team.
Pretty light jury recommendations given the description tbh
How is that not attempted murder?

Any time an animal that's not a cat/dog/barnyard animal shows up everyones liek "omg its like a irl pokemon"
Yeah some people take gyms in PoGo was too seriously, had a friend who was threatened face to face with physical violence just for daring to kick someone off a gym after they had been on there for over a day.
I love the game but just do not get the need to hog gyms, just get your 50 coins a day and be done with it.

Holding someone underwater even for a couple moments should get you "Attempted Murder" charges in a just world.
I dont get it. Get any fandom to a large enough size and you'll find toxicity all over the damn place. It isn't some Pokemon exclusive phenomena.
I can't imagine giving enough of a shit about claiming a Pokémon gym that I would assault someone else trying to do the same. Honestly, if someone tried to come at me about it, I'd just tell them to take it. Clearly they have less of a life than I do. lol
Would love a horror movie with pokemon's "small children owning violent destructive gods" theme played straight.
Allow me to explain.
In Pokémon games, Poisoned is a status effect.
There is also a move called - Toxic - , a move that is well regarded for its utility and for the fact that most Pokémon can learn it.
Using that move results in the target being - badly poisoned - .
Now you get it. 🙂
That last name is very close to Mandelbaum
"You think your Pokemon are better than me? It's go time!"
I got a good laugh out of this
