The creators of the hit game have acknowledged this and say they’re working to remove real-world locations that don’t wish to be included.

Augmented reality enables Pokémon to spawn anywhere around a player’s current location, as well as certain landmarks designated as PokéStops.

Some of these locations, however, could potentially be dangerous.

In B.C., a Pokémon gym is located near a Hells Angels clubhouse. Authorities are urging the public to use caution when approaching the clubhouse in Coquitlam.

The Pokémon Company’s consumer marketing director J.C. Smith said in an interview this week that they’re updating the augmented-reality game so it remains fun for players but respects the real world.

Several locations, such as the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park in Japan and the Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C., have asked to be removed from Pokémon Go.
