We all remember it well. After the arrival of the Pokémon Go game, we were gripped by a worldwide frenzy and many a young smartphone owner ran out into the streets to hunt legendary virtual creatures. Although the game has declined quite a bit over time, there are still enthusiasts who eagerly chase Pokémon across different landscapes. In addition to children and teenagers, the older generation also enjoys the gaming experience, as exemplified by Chen Sanyuan. However, this 70-year-old retiree has taken the hunt for Pokémon to a whole new level. He uses up to 11 smartphones at once to hunt virtual monsters.

If you're looking for the ultimate Pokémon Go player, you've come to the right place. Chen, who lives in Taipei City, is known in the neighborhood for his "Pokémobile," to which he has attached nearly a dozen mobile devices ranging from iPhones to Samsungs. The old man does not resist upgrades, as he constantly improves his dad. He tries to exchange the phones for more and more recent models, which he has connected to 9 external power banks. According to him, this set will last him up to 20 hours of hunting on a single charge. The people of Taipei City found out about Grandpa a few months ago, and while he is catching Pokémon, they are trying to capture him.

You probably won't find a more loyal Pokemon Go fan anywhere else. Chen's Pokemon Hunting Bike Kit can be found in the gallery:

One of those interested in interviewing Chen managed to stop the old man for a few words. He was said to have been introduced to the game by his grandson, who introduced him to the subject of Pokémon. Chen fell in love with the game and the entire universe almost immediately, and as he still enjoyed riding his bicycle, he combined the pleasant with the useful. In addition, he made several new friends that he could keep in touch with through the app. His interest in the game gradually intensified, which eventually resulted in a sensation.

He currently goes hunting for digital monsters 5 to 6 times a week, with the financial cost of maintaining the mobile Pokédex reaching up to $1 a month. He is logged into a different account on each smartphone and regularly uses shares in the form of microtransactions. It could be said that this is a certain form of obsession, but compared to other peers, Chen is in excellent shape. In addition, the game forces him to move and stay in outdoor spaces, which is certainly not harmful. You can see the kit of the oldest Pokemon hunter in the following video, unfortunately without English commentary or subtitles.
