The singer may have made it very clear that her concerts are a zero-tolerance zone when it comes to Pokémon, but just this weekend, there was a troubling Pokémon incident at a [Beyoncé](http://time.com/70716/beyonce-2014-time-100/) concert. A fan caught another fan engrossed in the game in the presence of Bey, [_Billboard_](http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/7446716/beyonce-fan-pokemon-go-concert?utm%5Fsource=twitter) found. Yes, Beyoncé was wrapped in a silvery bodysuit, belting a song from somewhere deep in her soul, and some girl was checking in on some Pokémon. “She’s finding Pokémon when Beyoncé’s singing. F—ing Pokémon! Look at where she is. Look at where she is. She’s next to the stage!” the fan on the scene reported. Sadly, the insufficiently blessed concertgoers don’t stop there. An audience member was caught capturing a Pokemon at an Adele concert this summer too. > [](https://twitter.com/alliemarkwoman/status/752353491251826688) Millions have [downloaded the app](http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-36868076), but now it’s distracting people who should be _living_ courtesy of Beyoncé and Adele.
