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

Grandfather Chen San-yuan has rigged 11 smartphones on his bicycle to play the augmented reality game, Pokemon Go.

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.
