Taiwan’s famous Pokémon Go Grandpa has seemingly evolved into his ultimate state. The elderly Pokémon lover has upgraded his bike, which now carries a whopping 64 smartphones that all play Pokémon Go.

Back in 2018, Pokémon Go Grandpa was discovered and shared by a user on Reddit that instantly blew up in popularity. The 72 year old person was discovered playing the game with 6 smartphones attached to his bike. The man named Chen San-yuan is a retired Feng Shui master and an avid Pokémon Go fan, with his nickname being derived from his love for the game.

Chen said that he started playing the game after his grandson introduced him to it. Now, he plays nearly 20 hours a day 5 to 6 days a week playing it, until his phone’s battery gets exhausted. But apparently that did not deter the elder gamer, as he simply added the number of smartphones on his bike as a solution. Furthermore, he even made a solution to mount them on his bike and plug a charge in for all of them, keeping them charged and powered up on the go.

However, what is glaringly obvious is that the man knew no bounds as he kept adding the number of smartphones. Starting from 6 back 2018, Pokémon Go Grandpa has now evolved his bike to carry 64 smartphones. The layout is quite interesting, to say the least, and highly resembles the pattern a peacock’s feathers would when unfurled. So, it’s safe to say that Pokémon Go Grandpa is definitely out to catch em all.

Man plugs PS4 into airport monitor to play Apex Legends, is politely told to leave

A man traveling through Portland International Airport apparently had a layover long enough that he decided to play some video games. Playing games at the airport isn’t such a big deal if you’re using something like a Nintendo Switch, laptop, or smartphone. Where gaming at the airport can become a big deal is if your preferred gaming platform is a PlayStation 4.

An Apex Legends player made headlines after he decided to kill some time while waiting on a flight the old-fashioned way – by plugging his trusty PlayStation 4 into one of the airport’s many monitors and getting in some game time. Unfortunately, he discovered that one isn’t exactly allowed to do such things at an airport, to absolutely no one’s surprise.

When approached and asked “to unplug and cease using the monitors at the airport” by operations supervisors, he reportedly asked “very politely” if he could finish up his round first. That request was denied, and Port of Portland spokesperson Kama Simonds took the opportunity to use the incident as “a good reminder of what not to do at the airport.”

Simonds added that power outlets are fair game to travelers, but monitors are out of the question. She said this incident demonstrates the addictive nature of screens and urges travelers to keep their game systems in their luggage until they arrive at their final destination. She adds that it’s extremely important not to use airport information monitors to play them. “Don’t try to set them up and play them in the airport,” she says.
