Taiwanese grandpa plays Pokémon Go with 11 phones
- boyce 8y agoNever played Pokemon Go but in Ingress I'm pretty sure playing with multiple accounts (and devices) was a bannable offense. I did meet a guy who carried a ridiculous amount of gear for playing. Batteries, portable wifi modules for group meets, antennae. Sims for every network in case signal was unavailable for some. Satelite phone for when there was none.
- adetrest 8y agoNow that's dedication, especially when you consider the cost of data on satellite phones.
- boyce 8y agoYeah, completely crazy the lengths some players go to. People travel a long way for events or to exchange keys to make big links and fields. More of a trot around the park thing for me (and the occasional pub meetup)
- wcoenen 8y agoThere are 12 phones in the picture, not 11 as claimed in the title.
- mystcb 8y agoLooks like someone in the comments (https://www.theverge.com/2018/11/7/18072192/pokemon-go-11-phones-taiwanese-grandpa#496656375 https://www.theverge.com/2018/11/7/18072192/pokemon-go-11-ph...) has posted a picture showing that there are 15 of them on his body harness! (The picture does make it a lot easier to see them when they are pointed out! :) ) Actually impressed with that setup though, not sure you can just go down to your local shop and buy a 11/12/15 phone harness!
