Unsurprisingly, the augmented reality app has made huge headlines worldwide not only for its historic success, but also because of the sheer abundance of bizarre happenings that have occurred in its wake.

Ranging from hilarious interactions between Pokemon and real-life to birth, death, violent crime and abject stupidity most of all, it's safe to say that this game is bringing out both the worst and best in humanity. And as more people download the game each and every day, the crazy news headlines are unlikely to slow down any time soon.

There are already numerous reports of players discovering corpses while out catching Pokemon in San Diego, Wyoming and New Hampshire, and as the game rolls out worldwide, these headlines are only likely to increase while the game's novelty factor remains at an all-time high.

In slightly less depressing news, though, the game did also allow two Massachusetts players to save the life of a man who they found overdosed on a park bench, so that's nice.
