It seems the Prime Minister of Norway just had to catch them all despite being busy, as she has been spotted playing "Pokemon Go" amidst an official meeting.
Erna Solberg, Norwegian Prime Minister, was recently spotted getting busy with her smartphone looking for Pokemon to catch before meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House. Prior to this meeting with Trump, Solberg had a press conference with the Norwegian media, after which she decided to catch a few Pokemon during her brief time off.
Solberg, after being caught by a photographer playing the game, was asked whether it was one of her methods of de-stressing herself. To this, she responded that it wasn't, and she was just talking with her family through the app. "No, there's a way to send a message with Pokémon to the family at home," Solberg clarified.
However, it is possible that Solberg was being private at the prospect of playing Pokemon before an official meeting, as this was not the first time she was spotted or admitted using the app in public. Back in 2016, she even claimed that she has reached level 14 in "Pokemon Go" and that she regularly ventured around Arendal in search of Pokestops during an interview with Aftenposten. Apart from that, she even took her time to hatch some 10 KM eggs during an official visit to Slovakia, which is quite a task even for seasoned players.
It could be that the White House, apart from being home to Trump, is also home to some of the rarest or most sought-after Pokemon, though only Solberg would be able to find out at the moment.
Before "Pokemon Go" was even released though, Solberg was keen on playing another game, which was the popular "Candy Crush" which debuted a few years ago, where the Norwegian Prime Minister even reached a level of 300 in-game, something Norwegians deemed worthy as an achievement and even made the headlines.
