Central Park Chaos: Watch Hundreds Of People Stampede Due To 'Pokemon Go'

Pokémon Go has been creating a huge hysteria around the world, and calling it a success is totally an understatement. Despite the glitches and privacy concerns that supposedly came with it, people just can't seem to get enough of the new Nintendo and Niantic's sensation.

According to newstalk.com, hundreds of people rushed to the famous Central Park in New York at 11 p.m. to try and get their hands on Vaporeon, a rare water-type Pokémon which had procreated in the location.

As many might have already know that in Pokémon Go, once a player captures the Pokémon at a specific location, it will automatically disappear from the screens of other players within a couple of minutes. This simply means that if you're one of those who's looking for a crowd, you will be dismayed to know that the crowd you've been looking forward to be a part of was no more.

Pcworld.com reported that a Vimeo user Woodzys captured video of a large crowd making their way to Central Park to hunt the rare water-type Pokémon. This usually doesn't happen all the time and "uncommon in Pokemon Go, and Eevee evolutions in the wild are even rarer."

The Vimeo user said that people who posted the video of the man who was seen jumping out of his car, at the start of the footage, left his car engine running. He also said that the man was desperate to claim the rare Pokémon.

Tech Insider also reported that they noticed there was also a crowd of hundreds of people at the entrance "sprinting into the park like a herd of wildebeest." Other businesses have tried to make money on the Pokémon fever over the last few weeks.

Last week, during the game against the Toronto Blue Jays, the Oakland Athletics set up a Pokémon Go promotion that featured discounted tickets, nearby gyms, and lures dropped around the ballpark. The team made it clear that running on the field to catch Pokémon is a big no-no.  

Meanwhile, T-Mobile is offering free Pokémon Go data usage for a year, although not everyone is a fan of that idea.
