‘Gotta catch ‘em all’: 74-year-old grandpa plays Pokémon Go with 64 phones attached to his bicycle
If you have ever watched the Japanese anime series Pokémon, then you must be aware of the catchphrase “gotta catch ‘em all”, as that is the ultimate aim for the players. An augmented reality mobile game called Pokémon Go, which was released in 2016, aimed to create an immersive experience with gamers trying to catch Pokémons in their local surroundings.
While the game caught people’s fancy all over the world, a 74-year-old Taiwanese man took the phrase “gotta catch ‘em all” quite literally as he uses 64 phones attached to his bicycle to play the game. Chen San-Yuan was introduced to the game by his grandson in 2016. By 2018, he had upgraded his setup to eight phones and became a local celebrity known as ‘the Pokémon Go grandpa’.
