And if you've ever had a passenger playing Pokemon Go, you understand: Nothing gets in the way of a player and a Pikachu (a rare Pokemon character) or a PokeStop (where you can get Pokeballs, used to catch Pokemon characters). So Kuszmaul, 23, made that U-turn and, fortunately, got only a hard stare from the cop at the corner. He also earned $25 that hour as a Pokemon helping players pursue their Pokemon prey, writes Stephen Koff of cleveland.com.
Pokemon Go is an addictive, augme game played through an app on a cellphone. It requires walking or driving to find the prized, sometimes cute characters. Driving while playing is dangerous. Police find the practice annoying, since more than one cupied motorist has been known to stop in the middle of a street to attend to his gaming. A player-driver in Baltimore even crashed into a police car.

I'm not going to hold up traffic or cause an Kuszmaul of North Royalton holds a day job as an account manager at Salem Media but has picked up a little extra cash $75 total, or $25 an hour at night, driving other millennial players. His Craigslist ad showed him dressed as a "Pokemon Safari Professional" (though his vehicle is a 2015 Nissan Altima not a Land Rover).
"You've got to understand," he said. "I'm a millennial. We grew up on this stuff. I've got friends who are CPAs in downtown Cleveland who go out on their lunch hour to do this." Pikachus, Charizards and Vaporeons are out there, but you've got to be in the right place to find them and you can't be distracted. Another critter brought into the fold.
