Criminal: Hey, so what you in for? Me: (Making fake pokemon popsicles) I stabbed a man.

I love the fact that Pokemon is only family friendly as long as you are innocent enough to not understand why it's not 😂😂😂

Criminal: So, what're you in for? Guy: I sold a hacked Pokémon to someone. What about you? Criminal: Ah, neat. First degree murder.

How’s that criminal walking into a police station to challenge a gym? Looks like even the police were ‘catching ‘em all’

I feel like most of this will be Pokémon go related

The popsicle stick guy sounds like a scalper that wanted to get as many cards to sell them off. If he was a scalper, I’m glad he got arrested.

Amazing how two of these were criminals who got busted because they just had to play freaking Go. As if that game couldn’t get any more cursed. 😂

Getting maxed stats isn't even that elusive anymore, and people still hack...

"Use your brains and don't be a dummy"- hoops Quote of the year!! 😊

When Go first came out, I was circling around a public park, grabbing a bunch of pokestops with each lap. Some people in a house neighboring the park called the cops on me because they thought I was a drug dealer, wandering around like that. Luckily the officer knew it was bullshit and knew what i was doing right away, but he still had to confront me as a formality. I'm just glad he was so nice about it.

something important to remember is that japan takes copyright law VERY seriously and you could very well be risking jail time for something that would be seen as small to some other countries (i know this because avatar: the last airbender is a BITCH to find in japan so i suggested that a japanese friend of mine find a site to pirate it from but he refused because he didn't want to take the risk).

I knew there’d be a Pokémon go story the moment i read this title lol

Honestly u now need to do a video on people who were arrested for playing Pokemon GO. I remember hearing crazy stories all over FB because people were technically trespassing on people's properties to catch Pokemon and the owners called the cops.

Pokemon go be like: i arrest criminals

Well, I can definitely see that wanted criminal who just walked up to a police station playing Pokemon Go nailing the "Surprised Pikachu" face, lol.

Criminal : im not showing up there PoGo : fine I'll guide you there

My cousin got arrested because he was standing in front of someone's house while playing Pokemon go. It's not his fault there was a Poke-Stop there

Mad props for only having 2 of them being Pokemon Go related

pokemon go stories expectations: breaking and entertaining, trespassing just to find a rare pokemon or go to a pokestop. pokemon go stories reality: nah, we catch the criminals

Imagine being so desperate to leak information that you do it two weeks before the official release date. And you got arrested for it.

Now if only Nintendo could crack down on all of the hacked Pokémon floating around the wonder trade system. It’s so annoying to get an amazing Pokémon just to see that it’s a fake.

I loved your Pokemon Cardinal series. I think that someone needs to make that into a fangame or make it another spinoff like the Mystery Dungeon games. I'd definitely play that game over and over again. :)

The wanted criminal from Michigan was definitely Team Valor💀

It was a smart move to make a police station as Pokemon gym 😂

This is evil shady stuff and why I don’t trust other people and especially the Pokémon they battle with.

“What are you in for” “Leaking monsters before the release”

Five times Pokemon got people arrested? More like five times Pokemon GO got people arrested.

lol my favorite stories ya shared were the Pokemon Go related ones.

There should have been a Pokémon go advertisement that’s like Pokémon go! So fun you’ll be willing to face jail time to catch ‘em all!

There was this incident in Vancouver where a Pokemon Go player jumped onto the SkyTrain tracks just to catch a Pokémon. Even though sensors in the tracks stop trains before they hit anything, he could still have touched the power rail and gotten electrocuted. Don’t do this!

i thought all modern pokemon games, had a hexagon symbol thing next to the pokemons stats to indicate that pokemons legitimacy. also people should take good care and attention to the screens such as where the pokemon was caught in the wild, and which pokeball was used on the pokemon. not every Pokemon in existance is compatible with every pokeball in existence. for example, a non bug type pokemon in a park ball from hg/ss. and master balls always raise eyebrows.

Honestly hearing that hacked crap made me think back to the times when I was in a boy and just used Pokémon cheat codes just to have fun being able to walk through walls infinite money Pokémon generator. I was still a kid so I just did it have fun

They also need to set in place checks to make sure a Mon is actually good for masuda breeding instead of someone just changing the language. Those Mon won’t work and essentially place you at full odds, which I did not trade my Mon for. Maybe a an additional symbol to show what country the Mon is actually from even if the person changes the language

Me who didn't have pokemon go til the craze died out.

On the news at one point roughly after Pokémon go had just came out a guy had found a dead body while playing Pokémon go

I thought that this was a video about the actual pokémon characters who got arrested but actually this is good too.

2:09 crazy storie fact 1:the police gym

Officer Jenny approves

I used to never actually think that Pokemon can get you arrested.

Regarding the last one... First and foremost, using hacked Pokemon is cheating, no "sort of" about it. It is flat out cheating. And if you want to do it purely in single player content, go ahead. Cheat codes and such were made for the same reason. If its ruining anyone's enjoyment, its your own. But if you're doing it to win a competition like a tournament or speedrun, then its wrong. Moving on though, its possible he wasn't advertising them as hacked. The buyers are still scum for trying to find a roundabout way of getting good without putting in the effort (paying someone to win for you is still cheating if you're the one taking the credit and acting like you did it), but you can't necessarily fault them for buying hacked Pokemon if they didn't know. Who knows? Maybe that's what got him caught. Someone bought one thinking they were paying for someone to do the hunting and grinding for them, found out they were hacked Pokemon instead, and called him out on it.

This is the best thumbnail you’ve ever made. They’re all good, but this one is the winner for me

"Family Friendly" Sure.. looks like that.. until you read the lore on some pokemon. 😏

In my country some people went into a garden after close time to get Pokémon on Pokémon go lol they got arrested too

Hoops: Literally no one was not playing Pokemon Go initially. Me: I've consistently had phones too old to run the app. I generally get hand-me-down phones that about a generation or two behind the newest. If it works, it works. I don't need the latest and greatest. My current phone is the first phone I've owned where the app actually shows up in the PlayStore.

That guy going to the police station to get a gym :'yeah this is big brain time'

How about that guy who got arrested for playing Pokémon GO at the church. That incident also got predicted by the Simpsons

I'm surprised you didn't mention a man arrested in Russia, because he went to catch a pokemon in a church XD

The last one feels especially worse because SwSh might be the easiest games to raise a competitive Pokémon in with how easy it is to ev train, introduced mints and just the insane amount of TMs and TRs available. Oh and it’s not hard to get the patches to give your Pokémon the ideal ability. Overall it takes only a few hours and I know because I have made a ton of teams that I am proud of.

I can see the headline "Florida man gets arrested trying to catch pOkEMAN"

Damn and here I was expecting that Hoops would talk about the two guys that got arrested back in 2015 at the PWC held in Boston.

2:51 that's the biggest N00B I have ever seen

The guy with a warrant who went to the police department got me weak 😂😂😂😂😂

This video: *exist* officer jenny: i approved this

Why is your channel name hoops and hiphop but I never get any basketball content here? LOL. Subbed ;)

Almost!? They really got arrested in the First Pokémon cartoon show season 1!🌌📺

I know it’s probably too dark for one of these videos, but I wonder if anyone will ever cover those two teenagers who got arrested for planning a mass shooting at the Pokémon World Championship lol

You should cover the craziest hacked pokemon scares (like the hacked event shiny tapu koko that spread like wildfire back in S/M ((anyone remember that? It was absolute mayhem.)), the recent pokemon home and swsh banwave, machamps.(i ain't finishing that obviously), the 3ds shiny hack brick, etc.)

That's a lot more non Pokemon Go related crimes than expected

Me when I hear that Pokémon go got two wanted criminals arrested: *perhaps I treated you too harshly*

2:55 Nobody? THX HOOPS just call me a nobody then lol! Honestly the reason I never got into Pokemon Go was a) it sucked ur battery for ur phone like crazy b) u needed wifi to play it or it sucked your data like crazy and c) I honestly wasn't interesting in having to walk everywhere to find Pokemon when at the time I lived in a small lown that didn't have a lot of Pokemon spawn areas.

Me before seeing this video: probably just people trespassing while playing Pokémon GO

Very important:Do not cheat in Pokémon. Or else, Officer Jenny will find you.

Can I just appreciate the use of Pokemon Journeys episode 67 in the thumbnail?

*The funny part is he was probably breaking and entering because Pokémon*

Really though if one of these is just hacking, I'd be shocked. Edit: ok, selling something hacked is a completely different story...

When you're playing Pokémon go when he is talking about Pokémon go

me : looks at gen 7 Definitely family friendly

I hate when shit gets leaked, not just with pokemon, but with any video game. So it's immensely satisfying to me when those people get caught and punished for that shit.

"pokemon is family friendly" And the first add was clearly a 18+ add

Real title: 5 Times People Got Themselves ARRESTED.

Me: how did you get in jail? Guy: I killed a man. Me: I leaked a video game charater. Guy: *scoots away*

Damn, getting arrest for cheating in a kid’s game is gonna be a tough rep to get over in the pin lol

Of course Pokémon Go got people arrested! People were running out into traffic and trespassing!

The team rocket of our world

I haven’t watched the video yet my prediction is pirating

😂 These People are hilarious

I knew that pokemon go was going to be at least one of the things

Imagine going to prison for a Pignite

I only started playing Pokemon go when the Pokemon could be transported to main series game

I have never played Pokémon Go.

Also someone were doing some weapon dealing during a year of pokemon vgc. That's should have been in the list

so you can say one of the criminals got into a sticky situation ,cus its a popcycle

Remember you can’t catch them all behind a jail cell

2:00 I remember hearing about this and ik where it happened too

I know someone who gives people hacked mons for free on discord, a few people actually, they do it for xy/oras, and usum. They just help people get the pokemon they want. No harm done.

People who get arrested for leaking pokemon are heroes

*Lillie wears Officer Jenny outfit and has a scoutland next to her* This isn’t a game, don’t do the crime unless you grind hour in prison. Lol

You dont understand officer! Im just trying to be the best like no one ever was!

I was expecting to see the guy trespassing into The White House dressed as pikachu, but I guess he's not on this list

Hacked Pokemon can be indistinguishable from legit ones these days. It's pretty easy to hack a perfect Pokemon that will be 100% legit and legal, but it's also easier than ever to make perfect mons in game. Unless they're obviously fake then yeah.

ngl, if I were to be arrested for anything, I would want it to be for forging popsicle sticks. I’m not promoting criminal activity, especially fraud and forgery. However, you can’t tell me that being charged with making fake popsicle sticks **wouldn’t** be hilarious.

Wow, only two of these are Pokemon GO-related. I'm honestly surprised.

I actually buy hackedmons, they are legal though but I don’t use them on tournaments, I use them online single battles though.

I thought the title said "five times pokemon got arrested"

Pokemon GO directly to jail

I remember I was at school and I saw a on google that someone got arrested to trading a sobble.

"Gotta give some blame to the buyers" **Me who visits probably hacked Animal Crossing Islands to buy catalog items** Fair

One time when I was playing Poke'mon Go I was Beating a Gym that was at a Graveyard and The Grounds Keeper told Me that I can't play it at that area. That made Me Angry so I did what My Sister calls tell him off. After that he threatened to call the police so I said to him "I will go just don't Let The police get involved" he said "alright" and put his phone back in his pocket. Later after that I did something that's "Mostly" The same at a Restaurant. The only difference is a police officer was already at The Restaurant and he told me to Leave and I asked him "Can I at Least Play outside?" and he said "I don't care what you do outside" after that I heard something called Spoofing and I asked My Nephew to add it to My Poke'mon Go Account and he did. Ever Since then I used that to keep Myself out of Trouble.

Imagine if all those terrible mobile Pokémon ripoffs get taken down and Nintendo sues all of them
