Now that Pokémon Go has peaked, we can dig into the trough:

The Norwegian prime minister has been caught playing Pokémon Go during a debate in Norway's parliament. Erna Solberg was pictured playing the game during a debate in the Storting on Tuesday. It's no secret Solberg is a big fan of Pokémon Go. During an official trip in Slovakia, she took some time out to play the game, telling reporters she was keen to hatch some of her 10km eggs.

This isn't even the first time a Norwegian politician has been caught playing the game while in parliament.

    Now Grown-ass men are playing POKEMON into adulthood

    i dont see the problem here. hell, i carried my ds/3ds with me in uniform so i could play games during my downtime when i was deployed overseas. its important to have a way to chill and relax, and video games are quite good for that.

    playing it during the course of their professional duties

    ok now that actually is a problem, if they were playing it when they should have been working instead of during their downtime.
