For the past few days, we've been bombarded with articles and Facebook posts about app-of-the-moment, Pokémon Go. It's powerful enough that it's uniting gamers worldwide. On the flipside, it's also tearing relationships apart.
Case in point: A guy who goes by the name Evan Scribner told news and entertainment website New York Post in an interview that his girlfriend used the app to bust him "canoodling with an ex-flame." In case you've been hiding under a rock, the mobile game uses geo-location features to record spots where a Pokémon is caught.
Scribner said his girlfriend looked at his activity in the game. That's when she noticed that he recently snagged a Pokémon in his ex's neighborhood. He wasn't able to come up with an excuse so he decided to confess.
"She saw that I had caught a Pokémon while at my ex's house. She found out last night [Sunday night] at my house and hasn't contacted me since then," he recalls.
