Elderly Men Arrested After Fighting Over Control For Pokemon GO Gym

He wanted to be the very best like no one ever was. To catch Pokemon is his real test. To train them is his cause. Sadly, I guess his training is not good enough until he had to take the battle into the real world.

The battle, or in this case, the assault was perpetrated by Kento Sato, 56, against another Pokemon Go trainer, who is allegedly his old companion, aged 55 years old. According to Sora News 24, Sato allegedly grabbed the victims chest through the car window and damaged the victim’s side-view mirror by kicking it.

What was the cause of this assault? Well, it has been said that both of these seasoned Pokemon Go trainers were battling for who gets control over a Pokemon Go gym in their area. What started as a Pokemon battle in the game got too heated until Sato resorted to attacking his Pokemon Go competitor in real life.

The two met through the game and both have been competitive with each other which led tension to brew between them for a long time. It is great that you are passionate about a game but do keep it within the game only. Both Sato and his victim should know that with a heart so true, their courage will pull them through. (sing it like the song).
