Unfortunately, people living in Canada haven't gotten to play Pokémon GO yet. That hasn't stopped these resourceful folks.

From the MAS Facebook page: "Come out to the Muncie Animal Shelter between 10am-5:30pm any day and walk an adoptable dog as you hunt for Pokemon and hatch eggs!"
You get to play Pokémon GO and adoptable dogs get to go on walks; it's a win-win! Hopefully shelters all over the country will soon offer the same thing.

Everyone meet Mimicyu, the ghost type pokémon that so desperately just wants to fit in with Pikachu.

Twitter user Pokéfan Libby was on a quest to catch 'em all when she stumbled upon a seemingly impossible to reach gym near a fountain in Wellington Harbour, New Zealand.
While pondering the idea of how to capture it, Libby noticed a kayak on a direct bath to the gym... Sure enough it was two Pokémon GO enthusiasts.
The gym (once belonging to Team Yellow) was on its way to be claimed by kayak for Team Blue by Kelsey Thompson and Lizzy Eden.

Evan Scribner was busted by his girlfriend when she opened up his Pokémon GO account to discover that the cheating trainer had been roaming the high grass in a territory he shouldn't be.
Scribner's spot was blown when his girlfriend noticed the New York neighborhood where Evan caught a Zubat was the same area his ex-girlfriend lived. Pokémon GO uses geolocation services to monitor where and when each Pokémon caught is found. Soo, yeah, Evan had no excuse.
“She saw that I had caught a Pokémon while at my ex’s house,” a broken-hearted Scribner told The Post. “She found out last night at my house and hasn’t contacted me since then,” Scribner said.

Poor 'ol Boone Sheridan who lives in Massachusetts, downloaded Pokémon GO last Friday, only to end up realizing that his house was marked as one of his area's gyms. Thing is, it makes sense because Sheridan said his place used to be a church in the 1800's (thus explaining why it'd be marked as a gym).
Churches are f**king hotbeds in Pokémon GO right now. Sheridan's coverage via Twitter, of his place being frequented by Pokémon trainers who were just trying to train 'n catch 'em all, is pretty damn hilarious.
I mean hey, at least Sheridan got to meet the current Gym leader right?
Sonny Truyen used rage. It's not very effective...
The hype for Pokémon GO is very real and people are losing their jobs over it. Sonny Truyen, an Australian who just started working at Singapore property site 99.co as the vice president of digital marketing, has been fired for posting an angry rant about not having Pokémon GO yet.
Sonny got into a spat with a Singaporean named Adelene Kong, which started when Sonny called Singapore a "sh*t country."

Pokémon GO's taken the planet by storm. Lives have been made, ruined, and everything in between by this kickass augmented reality game. We're talking staged robberies like this:
And relationship-ruining NSFW-ish 'gotta catch 'em all' moments like this:
Looks like Google could've predicted much of the madness that's ensued thus far...
