Pokémon Go is, apparently, better than Beyoncé

    1 of 3 2 of 3

      Pokémon Go has taken over the world. It has more active users than Twitter, and has been installed on more Android phones than dating app Tinder. Which means that, officially, Pokémon Go is better than sex.

      It’s common knowledge that those excitable characters can pop up at any moment. And that means maintaining CONSTANT VIGILANCE. Wherever you are.

      Except, maybe, if you’re in the front row of a Beyoncé concert.

      In an Instagram video that’s already gone viral, anti-Pokémon vigilante and Beyoncé fan Anand Desai-Barochia pointed out that a fellow concert-goer standing just a few yards from Queen Bey had opened up the game during the singer’s set.

      “The bitch is finding Pokémon,” he’s heard saying. “She’s finding Pokémon when Beyoncé’s singing. Fucking Pokémon! Look at where she is. Look at where she is. She’s next to the stage!”

      And that’s hardly the first time the game has got a bit too serious IRL. Joining a growing list of Pokémon Go no-nos, the Beyoncé faux pas is just one of a number of inappropriate app usages.

      That includes playing the game while your wife is in labour. (Especially when the only thing on offer is a CP 25 Pidgey.)

      Or walking into someone’s private property in pursuit of a Pikachu. (Mainly because you're in danger of this.)

      But, to the credit of the girl at the Beyoncé concert, she did have the good sense to use an Incense. And, amazingly, Niantic’s Pokémon servers were actually working.
