Yes, it had to happen—the ubiquitous Pokémon Go obsession has dribbled its way into the housing world as Trulia unveiled a cheat map to help the game’s players “Catch ‘em all.”

“Assuming the Pokémon in Go are popping up based on the habitat they thrive in, we have tapped into our map making prowess to showcase the potential hotspots across the U.S. for Electric, Fire, Grass, Psychic and Water Pokémon types,”said Andrea McDonald, Trulia’s senior manager of public relations, who presented an interactive map of San Francisco as an example for players to follow Trulia’s tips for locating Pokémon types in any city.

However, McDonald added that players need to remember that the world is not their playground.

“Trulia would like to remind you to be safe and smart while playing Pokémon Go,” she stated. “Respect private property and hours of operations of businesses, be aware of your surroundings, watch where you’re going while walking around, and don’t Pokémon and drive!”
