According to CNN, US State Department Spokesperson John Kirby was discussing on the ongoing efforts to fight against the ISIS while he noticed a reporter playing Pokémon Go during his talk. After the reporter got caught by Mr John, he replied, “I’m just keeping my eye on it”.

At the end of Mr John’s speech, the reporter couldn’t catch any pokemon due to the bad signal.
