mobile game, developed by Niantic and based on a media franchise co-owned by Nintendo and
marketed and licensed by Pokmon Co., with millions of players worldwide.

franchise, which consists in large part of a series of video games in which players take on the
role of trainers with the goal of capturing and collecting fantasy creatures called Pokmon.

Released on July 6, 2016 in the United States, Pokmon Go is an augmented reality game in
12
which players use their smart phones to catch Pokmon in the players real-world surroundings
13
by utilizing the GPS, camera, and gyroscope features on users mobile devices. When a player
14
comes in close proximity to GPS coordinates determined by a Niantic algorithm, the game uses
15
the phones camera mode and gyroscope to display the image of a Pokmon, superimposed over
16
17
the real-world image displayed on the players phone screen, as though the Pokmon existed in
18
the real world. (See Figure 1.) By swiping their phone screens, players may then attempt to

When the game detects, via GPS, that players are in the vicinity of certain real-
world locations, the GPS coordinates of which were selected and programmed into the mobile
application by Niantic and known to Pokmon Go players as Pokstops and Pokmon gyms,

the players gain access to potentially vital in-game items, which they can use to catch Pokmon,
among other purposes, or gain the opportunity to engage in virtual battles with other Pokmon
Go players.

downloaded more than 30 million times and had earned more than $35 million in revenue.
10
11
According to Apple, Inc. (Apple), owner of the App Store (a digital distribution platform for
12
mobile applications), Pokmon Go was downloaded more times in its first week than any other
13
mobile application in history. At the time this complaint was filed, mobile users were spending
14
more time playing Pokmon Go than using other popular applications such as Facebook, Twitter,
15
16
17
5.
However, within days of the games release, it became clear that a number of the
18
GPS coordinates that Defendants had designated as Pokstops and Pokmon gyms were, in fact,
19
on or directly adjacent to private property, and that Defendants had placed these Pokstops and
20
Pokmon gyms on private property without the consent of the properties owners.
21
6.
Plaintiffs reside on Revere Street, a private cul-de-sac, in the city of St. Clair
22
23
Shores, Michigan. Across the street from Plaintiffs home is Wahby Park, a small municipal
24
park. In early July, shortly after the release of Pokmon Go, Plaintiffs noticed a significant
25
increase in the number of visitors to Wahby Park, from an estimated 15 to 20 visitors at any
26
given time to at least several hundred, most of whom were visibly using their mobile phones.
27
28
Plaintiffs soon learned that Defendant Niantic had placed a Pokmon Gym and at least seven
Pokstops on the park, and had placed Pokmon on Plaintiffs property as well.
7.
Over the next several weeks, Plaintiffs once-quiet street degenerated into a
4
5
nightmare for Plaintiffs and their neighbors. Many of the visitors who flooded the park in
search of Pokmon paid scant attention to the property boundaries of Plaintiffs and other
residents of Revere Street, and likewise disregarded the clearly posted sign advising that Revere
Street was a private road, with parking for residents and their guests only. Pokmon Go players
parked their cars in front of Plaintiffs and their neighbors homes, blocking their driveways.
10
11
Pokmon Go players trespassed on Plaintiffs and their neighbors lawns, trampling their
12
landscaping and peering into their windows. When Mrs. Gotts-Dodich asked a Pokmon Go
13
player to leave her property, she was told to shut up B****, or else.
14
15
8.
In late July, Plaintiffs requested the removal of the Pokstops and Pokmon Gym
that Niantic had placed near their home, using the designated request form on the companys
16
17
website. In response, they received only an automated form reply: Thank you for reporting this
18
PokStop/Gym. We will review and take appropriate action. Youll receive a follow-up email
19
20
21
9.
Days later, Plaintiffs had yet to receive the promised response from Niantic, and
submitted two more requests via emails to Niantics legal department and directly to Niantics
22
23
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) John Hanke (using an email address found online), describing
24
to Niantic the conditions the companys actions had created on Revere Street. The emails told
25
Niantic that the Pokstops and Pokmon gyms had creat[ed] havoc; that Pokmon Go players
26
are on our lawns . . . looking right into our windows to catch a Pokemon; that Plaintiffs had
27
been threatened by Pokmon Go players and dont feel safe sitting on our porch; and that after
28
the park closed at sundown, players hid[e] on our street or in the bushes, then come right back

generic form reply, thanking Plaintiffs again for contacting Niantic and directing them to visit
the help center[] for Pokmon Go on Niantics website.
7

11.
Several days later, after once again receiving no follow-up from Niantic, Plaintiffs
sent a similar email to yet another Niantic email address. Once again, Plaintiff received no reply
beyond a generic form response. At the time of the filing of this complaint, Niantic has yet to
10
11
12
respond to Plaintiffs or to remove the Pokstops and Pokmon gyms at issue, and Plaintiffs and
their neighbors continue to describe conditions on Revere Street as a nightmare.
13
14
15
12.
Plaintiffs situation is far from unique. Indeed, in the weeks following the release
of Pokmon Go, it quickly became apparent that Niantic had designated properties as Pokstops
and Pokmon gyms without seeking permission from property owners and with flagrant
16
17
disregard for the foreseeable consequences of doing so. Shortly after the games release, an
18
individual whose Massachusetts home Niantic designated as a Pokmon gym reported more than
19
15 uninvited visitors in the space of only a few hours, and many more visitors over the following
20
days.
21
detracting from the cemeterys decorum. Indeed, Niantic even placed three Pokstops within
22
23
the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., prompting a complaint
24
25
13.
26
27
near the property of Plaintiffs and other members of the proposed class constitutes a continuing
invasion of the class members use and enjoyment of their land, committed by Niantic on an
28
ongoing basis for Defendants profit. Moreover, Niantic has thus far ignored repeated requests
to remove the Pokstops and Pokmon gyms at issue. On the basis of the foregoing acts and
practices, Defendant Niantic is liable for nuisance and all Defendants have been unjustly
4
5
enriched.

On July 6, 2016, Niantic released Pokmon Go, the latest installment of the
25
Pokmon video game series, as a mobile phone application in the United States. As with earlier
26
Pokmon games, the object of Pokmon Go is to collect as many Pokmon as possible. Unlike
27
previous Pokmon games, however, Pokmon Go took advantage of various mobile phone
28
gaming experience, in which players discover and capture Pokmon by physically exploring
their surroundings.

Niantic algorithm, the game uses the phones camera mode and gyroscope to display the image
of a Pokmon, superimposed over the real-world image displayed on the players phone screen,
as though the Pokmon existed in the real world. (See Figure 1.) By swiping their phone
screens, players may then attempt to catch the Pokmon to add it to their virtual collections.

to catch Pokmon. In Pokmon gyms, players gain the opportunity to engage in virtual battles
15
with other Pokmon Go players, success in which advances the players progress through the
16

game.
24.
Pokmon Go was an immediate success and has been highly profitable for
19
Defendants. As of July 23, 2016, Pokmon Go had been downloaded more than 30 million times
20
and had earned more than $35 million in revenue. According to Apple, Pokmon Go was
21
downloaded more times in its first week than any other mobile application in history. At the
22

At any given moment there are at least a couple of hundred people in the park
play[ing] this game, compared to the average of at least 15-20 in the park. The
[Pokstops and Pokmon gyms] . . . [are] an open invitation for the players to
utilize our street, our lawns, looking in our windows . . . and so forth. There are
at least 30 homes . . . that are affected by this. These players are loud, make
threats, [are] intrusive, and I do not feel safe. My husband and I moved to our
home almost two years ago because it was peaceful, quite, and safe. When I see
people driving slow, looking into our home, walking on our property, looking
into our vehicles, we do not feel safe. Neither do the neighbors.
...
With all the traffic it is hard to tell who is playing the game, or casing out our
street/park, someone who is looking to rob, rape or any other harm. . . .
They park along our street that borders Wahby Park, we ask them to move and
get threats and attitudes. I was threatened by a man who refused to leave. He
was parked in front of my home. I had hardly any room to back out of my
driveway. Mind you, he was also parked the wrong way on the street.
...
I truly hope you will take this into consideration, the news has already been in the
park twice, and have interviewed neighbors on this issue.

The past few weeks have been an absolute nightmare for not only my husband
and I, but for the residents on our street as well. Almost two years ago my
husband and I moved into our home, not knowing how drastically our once quiet,
safe, and peaceful street has gone to the complete opposite.
...
Most recent I am seeking help for anxiety, I believe I will call it that and am
seeking help. I guess you could say I had a nervous breakdown, never had to
encounter this feeling in my life. We have veterans with PTSD and this traffic is
getting to them as well.
Nobody gets sleep anymore. Constantly have to protect our homes from people
on our property that invade, all because of the stops/gyms. I will highlight the
issues we are having:
Privacy: Since our street borders the park, our privacy has been taken away from
us. The stops/gyms border directly on our street, causing the gamers to take over
our property as well as the parks. They are on our lawns, with the newest being
looking right into our windows. How is this acceptable? They hang out on our
lawns, trample landscaping, look in vehicles, hang out in the middle of the street
looking at our homes while playing their game, so I hope. We ask them to leave
but 75% percent of the time, they ignore us or call us names. . . .
Safety: Along with our privacy being violated, our safety is a concern too. Our
street is narrow, we have elderly, and special needs children that require a lot of
care. It is not uncommon for an ambulance go down the street frequently. It is not
safe for cars to be blocking emergency vehicles to get down the street to assist
people that need care. We dont feel safe having people on our property looking
into our home. Nor do we feel safe with random vehicles parking, driving slow,
and hanging out on our street. We dont know who is playing the game, who is
looking at our homes to break in or steal, who is a pedophile or rapist. I dont
feel safe sitting on our porch, something we love to do. We have gotten heckled
and yelled at for calling the police and we didnt ever do so. I have been
threatened because I asked someone to leave, he said shut up b**** or else.
What does or else mean?
Traffic control: We are a private street, with that being said the police cannot
ticket or have vehicles removed. All day is constant traffic, either parking on the
street or just driving real slow to catch the Pokemon, or just stop right in the
middle of the street. When we ask these unwanted guests to leave, we are
threatened, they dont listen, give attitude, and leave when they want, this goes on
all night. Blocking driveways, parking on the wrong side of the street, sitting in
driveways, you name it they are doing it.
Look at the traffic in the park, even after dark. They scatter when it is time to
leave, hiding on our street or in the bushes, then come right back once police
leave.
