After plenty of backlash, the site of the Station nightclub fire has been removed from the Pokémon Go app.

Survivors and relatives of the victims campaigned to the gaming company to have the site removed as a poke-stop.

100 people died in that fire in 2003.

A memorial is now being built at that site and is scheduled to be finished in the fall.
