A Michigan couple filed a class action lawsuit last week against Pokémon Go creator Niantic, along with the Pokémon Company and Nintendo, alleging that the game has turned their neighborhood into “a nightmare.”
Scott Dodich and Jayme Gotts-Dodich requested the removal of Pokémon gym and a Pokestop at Wahby Park in St. Clair Shores, according to NBC‘s Detroit affiliate WDIV. The couple allege that their once private cul-de-sac has been taken over, at times, by Pokémon Go players who have blocked driveways with vehicles and trespassed on lawns.
The lawsuit alleges that the placement of Pokéstops and Pokémon Gyms on or near private property constitutes a continuing invasion of use and enjoyment.
Since its launch in July, Pokémon Go has become immensely popular, amassing a reported 100 million downloads. The game tasks players with exploring real-life locations to catch and train digital Pokémon and then battle other users in Pokémon gyms, which are tied to popular locations determined by Niantic.
The couple says that their attempts to request that Niantic remove the in-game attractions from their neighborhood via designated request forms on the company’s website were met with generic responses, according to WDIV.
When asked to leave the Dodich’s property, one Pokémon Go player allegedly told Jayme to “shut up, b****, or else.”

What are your thoughts on this? Will we see more lawsuits or even petitions or does the majority of the public not care? Would you be as upset to see people out playing in front of your house?

People are complaining about people walking around with phones! I bet if someone walked around with a gun they wouldn't say anything because they know exactly what they would get - a popped cap.

They'd say something. They would bitch on facebook and twitter about more gun control and pray to their lord, Hillary Clinton.

I wonder if what they say happened actually did or if they're trying to milk it for the $$$. Crazier things have happened.
