Thirteen-year-old Blake Ockleston and his friend, Daniel
Coyle-Smith (also thirteen) were out playing Pokémon GO in New Lynn, a suburb
in Auckland, New Zealand. They noticed an elderly man having trouble negotiating
a series of crosswalks. The man had a rolling walker with a seat, but it didn’t
seem to be enough. The two boys suspended their hunt for Pokemonsters so they
could help. They each took an arm, but they were only halfway through the first
crosswalk when the light changed. Daniel stopped traffic so they could clear
the first intersection. Then the boys had the man sit in his walker as they pushed
him to his destination, the train station. Once there, they asked a security
guard for help. The hero of this story might just be the publisher of Pokémon
GO. If these boys weren’t out playing the mobile game, they’d have been in their
moms’ basements, of no use to anyone.
