GLOBAL online game craze Pokemon Go! has appeared at Plymouth Science Park.
The game is a free location-based reality game which allows players to capture, battle and train ‘virual’ Pokemon who appear throughout the real world.
It hasn’t even been released in the UK yet but one of the locations where you can find Pokemon is in the car park of the Plymouth Science Park.
It is an ‘Electabuzz’ which looks like a yellow, stripy, cartoon goblin crossed with a tiger. Players are meant to find it, train it and capture it.
