Theodor got a great nature bonus on a Pokémon trip
When 11-year-old Theodor was on a Pokémon hunt in Hellebæk, Denmark, he found more than just virtual monsters. He discovered a great big black adder. Theodor has always found reptiles and insects fascinating, and therefore has also learned how to handle such a creature. So naturally, the black adder had to be taken home and presented, before it could be released again.
This story is an appropriate example of apps such as Pokémon GO, giving children and adolescents plenty of opportunity to get in touch with nature and experience the world in new ways through technology. See Theodor's experience of nature with the Danish black adder here.
