Stampede in Taipei as Pokemon Go players rush to catch Snorlax

If you thought the crowds of Pokemon trainers at Hougang Avenue 10 were crazy, wait till you see this stampede of players in Tapei.

Thousands of Pokemon Go players reportedly flooded the street in Taipei's Xinbeitou district which is known to be "Snorlax central" for players.

Photos and videos of the incident have gone viral on Facebook.

The Snorlax is a relatively rare Pokemon in the popular game that has taken the world by storm.

Any sighting of the Snorlax is enough to send trainers into a flurry as they embark on their motive to "catch 'em all".
