The recent release of the mobile game Pokemon Go has created a fun frenzy of unique interaction for mobile gaming. Unfortunately the creators of the game made some of the "gyms" and supply hubs in cemeteries. Going through a cemetery to play this game is highly disruptive and disrespectful to those there to mourn and remember their loved ones. We are petitioning the creators of Pokemon Go to remove cemeteries as a location for this game to be played

Disturbing to grieving loved ones to see random people running through cemeteries disrespecting graves. My friend had a stillbirth and went to grieve at the grave and was disrupted. Absolutely disrespectful. Have you no sympathy?
Remove cemeteries from Pokémon go.
It is disgraceful and disrespectful.
Cemeteries are supposed to be sacred places. It is disrespectful to have people roaming these areas. Unreal that the developers of this ridiculous game didn't have the common sense to think of this beforehand
It is disrespectful to our family members, neighbors, even strangers that we do not even know to be able to rest in peace and not have people who are going to these cemeterys to catch pokemon and not show their respect to the deceased.
Plz stop haveing the game take players to cemetery it's rude n disrespectful to loved one trying to pay respect to there loved ones

People really shouldn't even go there and shouldn't have to be told how inappropriate it is to be Pokémon hunting at any cemetery, but sadly we still have people who have a lot of growing up to do. I wouldn't even do it on my grandma's grave and she knows a little bit about the franchise. There's a time and place for everything people, Pokémon Go at a cemetery is NOT one of them.
