スマホ11台を自転車に装着　ポケモンGOに励む老人が話題に「アルツハイマー病対策じゃ。あと4台は追加する予定じゃ」

Taiwan man rigs bike with 11 phones to play Pokemon Go

If you’re going to catch them all, you need to have the right kit.

Grandfather Chen San-yuan has rigged 11 smart phones on his bicycle to play the augmented reality game, Pokemon Go. He plans to add four more.

The Taiwanese man, affectionately known as Uncle Pokemon, learnt about the game from his grandson, and can play up to 20 hours straight before he runs out of battery power for his devices.

He currently spends more than ￡1,000 ($1,290) a month on his habit.

Mr Chen uses portable battery packs to power his multiple devices, enabling him to stay out late at night to catch Pokemon in the capital city, Taipei.

He was unaware of his popularity until Taiwanese news channel EXP.GG found him and interviewed him, when he was only using nine phones to play.

Fans of the game first learnt of him when a photo of Mr Chen appeared on social media site Reddit.

He says the game has helped him to make friends and to fend off Alzheimer’s disease.
