With his professional gameplay in Pokémon GO, this grandpa has already made a name for himself. Now he has also acquired a fancy hip holder for his 15 smartphones and is becoming a Pokémon cyborg.
You may have heard of Chen San-yuan, as he made headlines in the summer of 2018. At that time, he rode his bicycle through Taiwan, attaching his smartphones to the bike. Now he is taking his playstyle to the next level and is giving up his bicycle.
The holder on his hip: He attaches his smartphones with a robot-like construct directly to his hip. He no longer needs a bicycle.
The probably coolest Pokémon grandpa in the world
This is the Pokémon grandpa: Chen San-yuan is 70 years old and has a passion for Pokémon GO. He plays simultaneously on 15 smartphones. For this, he has a backpack equipped with valuable power banks so that he doesn’t run out of juice on the go.
Popular in the community: When we reported on San-yuan in August, there was a lot of positive feedback from the readers.
User Bodicore wrote that he hopes to still be able to be excited about something at such an old age. However, he noted that with the bicycle and 11 smartphones, traffic safety might not be guaranteed.
With the upgrade to the hip attachment, it should also go better in road traffic. Although on the sidewalk, one probably has to make room when the player comes towards you.
His grandson got him into Pokémon GO: In an interview, San-yuan explained that he plays Pokémon GO because of his grandson who showed it to him. Now he spends about $1300 a month for his playstyle. By the way, his favorite Pokémon is Snorlax.
He remains fair to other players: San-yuan rarely takes over gyms. He believes it is unfair to other players. Rather, he catches wild Pokémon and levels them up.
