MERIDIAN TOWNSHIP - With their phones in hand and eyes glued to their screens, people of all ages are walking around in the virtual world of "Pokemon Go."

“I don't know all the names," said the father of teenager Max Sxhwarz. "Bird dudes and things like that.”

The Schwarz family drove all the way from Fowlerville to experience the the Meridian Historical Village, and Mom loves using the game to bring the family together.

“It’s nice to be able to go out and do things as a family,” said Max's mother.

Using the phone’s GPS location, players travel around to find wild Pokemon and collect more items at Pokestops, which are found at many of the historical landmarks and parks in Meridian t\Township

“There’s been a lot of traffic there, like 50, 60, 70 people at a time,” said Meridian Township Parks and Recreation Director LuAnn Maisner. Although she isn't a Pokemon trainer herself, she’s still excited about what the game has brought to the community. “Getting people out and it’s new and it’s catching on, and if it’s getting people out to our parks then it’s a wonderful thing.”

Another popular area is the Police Station, where Police had to rope off restricted areas in back where equipment is kept and even prisoners are brought in and out.

“3:00 in the morning, officers are walking out of the back of the building, to go out to their patrol cars and there are people right outside in the back of the building.

Despite other stories across the nation of Pokemon Go accidents, Meridian Township has yet to see anything serious.

"As of yet we haven't attributed any reports or accidents to the 'Pokemon Go' app”

Bringing kids outside and into the parks, "Pokemon Go" has captured the hearts of young kids to young adults, all with the goal to catch em all.
