It takes quite a bit of dedication to become aPokemonmaster. There are plenty of lonely nights and hardships out on the road, with friends and Pokemon being the only relief, especially inPokemon GO. Or, in some cases, that hardship comes from figuring out how to use 45 phones simultaneously to playPokemon GO,as 70-year-old Chen San Yuan has.
Now something of a celebrity in thePokemon GOcommunity, Yuan, who is often referred to as the “Pokemon GO Grandpa”, made headlines about a year ago whenimages of him using roughly 20 phones mounted to a bike at once began to surface online. However, it seems that the initial rig has now grown considerably, as Chen San Yuan’s setup has grown to hold a stunning 45 mobile devices. Images of the phones mounted to the bike raise quite a few questions, as balancing the rig, phones, and still managing to view oncoming traffic must be a rather difficult endeavor.

Yuan’s dedication to the game is admirable. While there has beennumerous quality of life improvements made toPokemon GOsince its initial release, it’s still hard to imagine dedicating so much time and effort into being the very best. However, Chen San Yuan has apparently also been given an endorsement by Asus for their mobile phones, which should help out with some of the costs that comes with using 45 phones at one time.
With the dedication Chen San Yuan has forPokemon GO, it’s hard to dispute calling him a realPokemonMaster, if not thePokemonMaster. At the very least, he’d make avery strong gym leader. It’ll be interesting to see how he pushes his set up in the future, whether that involves adding a few more phones or a couple of Nintendo Switches to runPokemon Swordand Shieldat the same time. Regardless, it’s without a doubt a rig with being jealous of.
Chen San Yuan is a reminder of just how unifying thePokemon Gocommunity can be. Luckily, the company regularly runscommunity events forPokemon GO, with one planned for December, that can help bring players closer together. Even with those special days, the game wouldn’t be much without community members like Chen San Yuan.
