Darkness of park draws ‘Pokemon Go’ players

EDMOND — J.L. Mitch Park is one of the many places in Edmond where a gamer might find Pikachu or one of the other “Pokemon Go” characters, whether by daylight or moonlight.

Nintendo’s original “Pokemon” game featured adventurous wanderings through a fantasy world to collect cute, imaginary monsters. “Pokemon Go” involves finding digital creatures that pop up in the screen of a mobile device as a person moves about the real world.
