Pokémon Go Granny Claims Every Gym in Town, Police Intervene as Granny Blocks Town's Gym Coins

Trainers, gather ’round, because have we got a story for you. Ever found yourself daydreaming about becoming the Gym Leader of every Gym in town? Sounds like a power move, right? But what happens when that dream turns into someone’s daily mission, and not in a fun way?

Picture this, a retiree, let’s call her Gym Guardian Granny, is living the Pokémon GO dream… or maybe we should say, she’s creating a Pokémon GO nightmare for everyone else. This avid gamer drives around town every day, booting out Trainers from Gyms like she’s swatting flies off her Jell-O. And get this, she’s been doing it for so long that folks are starting to lose interest in even trying to hold a Gym.

Yeah, you read that right. She’s so territorial about her Gyms that she’s been reported multiple times. But wait, it gets wilder. Some Trainers claimed she even followed them home, staking out like a detective in a noir film, keeping tabs on them right from their own front yard! Now, I’m all for friendly competition, but this is some next-level intensity, folks.
