Pokemon Go players in New York City are puzzled by a dedicated trainer who transformed the east side of Central Park into a surprisingly cold hotspot.
A large number – 80 – of glacier lures – unique items that draw Water- and Ice-type Pokémon – were released throughout the park all at once, making the map glow like a winter celebration.
Winter comes early in New York City, and it’s this Pokemon Go player’s fault
The spectacle was first spotted on Reddit, where a player shared a screenshot of the park.
They couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
Someone noticed: “When I opened Pokemon Go, the entire east side of the map was filled with lures, and it looks like one trainer put them all there. I’m just wondering why they did that?”
Which one of you put like 80 glacier lures in central park?

Fellow players quickly piled in with their thoughts and jokes.
Someone jokingly said, “Winter is coming.” Another person recognized a chance to improve their gaming achievement: “This is a great way to earn my Ice badge and make it platinum. I still need 5 more, and I’ve already spent 3.5 million in the game, working towards 49.”
There was some thought that the trainer was trying to get the Picnicker medal. This medal is awarded when other players catch 2,500 Pokemon while using your lures. As one person put it, “You get a platinum medal if 2,500 Pokemon are caught by others from your lures.”
Others questioned the need for such a massive lure drop in the first place.
Someone else responded, “Yeah, but you can use standard lures for that, and particularly in NYC, a lot of those fancy lures are just too much for the reward!”
No matter the reason, the attractive, icy flood turned Central Park into a busy area where trainers could find and catch Water- and Ice-type Pokemon, bringing many of them to the park.
Although we still don’t know who is behind the mysterious lure drops, the event has definitely caught the attention of the Pokemon Go community, inspiring both curiosity and a lot of playful, chilly humor.
