Armed robbers steal $100,000 worth of Pokéstock from New York City Pokémon store
Pokémon games may not come to PC very often, but it's still the highest-grossing media franchise in the world and, therefore, serious business. Serious enough to pull a gun in the middle of a store, apparently, as NBC reported happening during a robbery in Manhattan on January 14.
No one was hurt, fortunately, but the trio of robbers brandished handguns and smashed open several display cases full of merchandise at the Poké Court on 13th Street. They stole what store owner Courtney Chin estimates is $100,000 in merchandise.
