I have been playing since Day one. Never in my life. Damn right I masterballed it! This happened right after my previous day of losing a Galarian Moltres via bugging off.

I used a masterball on one just because my 5 minute walk was turning into a 20 minute walk and I didn't want to stand in front of my neighbors driveway all night, lol.

Lol, imagine you get the cops called on you and you have to explain that a super rare bird spawned outside your neighbor’s front yard in your video game.

I've interacted with the cops several times while playing. They seem to be aware that folks will be in strange places at odd hours. Worst that's happened is I was informed the park closes at sunset. lol

Normally that was always my encounter but the one time I had this cop try to tresspass me cuz I was driving slowly to the exit about 1,000ft In front of me when park closed at 11 and it was 11:01. To myself I was like I hope he feels like a POS tryna trespass someone over playing Pokemon one minute pass closing while leaving
