Pokémon Go: dos chicas alquilaron un kajak para reclamar un gimnasio en medio del mar
Quienes juegan a Pokémon Go rivalizan en ingenio para cazar a estas pequeñas criaturas. El último ejemplo es el de dos chicas neozelandesas que no dudaron en alquilar un kayak para reclamar un gimnasio vacío cerca de una fuente en el puerto de Wellington —el juego consiste en capturar Pokémons gracias a la realidad aumentada y luchar por controlar gimnasios donde batallar—.
Fue otra joven la que narró en Twitter la peripecia de estas amigas:
"Hay un gimnasio EN EL MAR. ¿QUIÉN HA TENIDO ESTA IDEA BRILLANTE?"
"¡Jajaja, estoy casi segura de que están batallando por el gimnasio!".
"Dos personas en un kayak mirando sus teléfonos. #PokémonGO se está conviertiendo en algo serio".
Las dos intrépidas navegantes enseguida dieron parte de su experiencia a través de Twitter:
"Eh, sí, hemos remado hasta la fuente para reivindicar el gimnasio para el equipo azul"
Por desgracia para ellas, el equipo amarillo —los jugadores se dividen en tres bandos: azul, rojo y amarillo— recuperó el gimnasio más tarde. "Fueron en un barco. Uno de ellos es dueño de uno, así que no es justo", declaró una de las jóvenes a Mashable.
Según contó, el trayecto en kayak hasta la fuente era de media hora para ir y otra media para volver. "El chico que nos lo alquiló curiosamente es miembro del equipo amarillo... así que nos decía que igual no nos lo dejaba", confesó entre risas.

Skill: The two gears spin around each other to create energy.
Ok, Pokemon. It's stuff like Klink that really makes it look like you're running out of ideas. This is a machine. No, scratch that. This is a piece of a machine. What do y...
Type: Steel
Skill: Launches minigears at foes, boomerang-style. If a minigear doesn't come back, it dies.
Making one of the gears bigger does not make this a more acceptable Pokemon. Try again. Try harder.
Type: Steel
Skill: Energy is released through the spikes in the ring.
Klingklang would be pretty impressive (proof that spikes make anything more fearsome), if it weren't for that one dopey face left from it's original evolution. Is there any wa...
Type: Ice
Skill: Breathing freezing air at -58 degrees Fahrenheit.
This … is an ice cream cone. Has anyone at Nintendo (or Game Freak, the company that creates Pokemon for Nintendo) ever had an ice cream cone before? Do they know how fragile i...

Type: Steel, Ghost
Skill: Stealing the spirit of anyone who touches its hilt.
Up next in inanimate objects that come to life when given the souls of the innocent: Honedge. This bundle of joy is a sentient sword that -- you guessed it -- is fille...
Type: Steel, Ghost
Skill: Complex attack patterns with its two swords.

Type: Steel, Ghost
Skill: Can switch between offensive and defensive moves with the use of its shield.
As an evolutionary measure (never mind the fact that inanimate objects are evolving), Aegislash has ditched the second sword and opted instead...
Type: Water
Skill: Swimming after loving couples it spots in the waves.
We're pretty sure Luvdisc is supposed to be some sort of fish. We're not scientists, but how does it swim with no fin-like apparatus or tail? And why is it spying on couples...
Type: Steel, Psychic
Skill: The patterns on their backs are said to contain a mysterious power
The Pokedex says these bad boys were found in ancient tombs and are covered in strange markings. So, we're to believe that we should entrust these pri...
Type: Steel, Psychic
Skill: Brings rain during times of drought by opening portals to another world.
First things first: If this is the evolution of Bronzor, doesn't it seem like it skipped a few evolutionary steps? I mean, we went from a disk t...

Another powerful Pokemon, Magnemite looks like a random assortment of junk that's been drawn together by magnetic force. It's almost like the Pokemon designers opened...

How is this an evolution? This is just three small Pokemon hanging ...

Type: Steel, Fairy
Skill: Threatens attackers by jingling its keys at them; hides from attackers
Of all the weird Pokemon on this list, Klefki really takes the cake. It's a set of keys that hides from you. It takes ordinary people's daily strugg...
Type: Ice Skill: Captures prey with chains of ice, freezing them at -148 degrees Fahrenheit. Here's what we know about Cryogonal: It's crystallized water, born in the clouds and turns to vapor when it gets warm. You know, sort of like snow. It ...
