This guy has his priorities set— Pokémon Go over pregnant wife!

The good old Angry Birds, Temple Run and the like have now made way for the absolutely addictive augmented-reality based game Pokémon Go, released earlier in July. The game has been sending people haywire, especially with them coming out on the streets to catch their Pikachu or Charizard and, thus, wrecking havoc on the roads.

In this case, Jonathan Theriot, caught a Pidgey while his wife was in labour about to give birth. He reportedly spotted the Pidgey on the bed his wife was on, took a screenshot and then caught it. While the Internet is yet to decide whether or not Theriot was wrong to play a game while his wife was in labour pain, Theriot told BuzzFeed that his wife just laughed when she got to know what he was up to.

“It was primarily an eye roll once she realized what I was doing,” he said.

The Internet now even has people suggesting Theriot to name his daughter, well you, know, Pidgey!

Theriot, however, is not the only one going crazy over the game! The creatures are everywhere!

Maybe, Pokémon Go is actually the aliens that we all feared will invade the world and humans, are blissfully unaware of their impending doom! Just some food for thought.
