True. You gotta catch ’em all. But it is also true that you won’t be able to do that if you should happen to die.

This helpful reminder about the dangers of Pokémon Go courtesy of the LA Times:

On Wednesday, firefighters rescued two men who fell several stories off the crumbling sandstone bluff in Encinitas, according to authorities. The men, who were in their early 20s, were playing “Pokemon Go” at the time and likely were led to the cliff when they were trying to catch characters, said Sgt. Rich Eaton of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department.

One man fell 75 to 100 feet. As firefighters rescued the man, they found the second man unconscious 50 feet down the bluff, said Battalion Chief Robbie Ford of the Encinitas Fire Department. Both were taken to area trauma centers and suffered moderate injuries, he said.

Not that it really matters.  Since soon you won’t be able to find pocket monsters anywhere outside of a McDonald’s.
