He found fame for his Pokemon GO contraption that let him use multiple phones while riding his bike. He then added more phones to his device, and transitioned it into a wearable mount. He received an endorsement deal with a phone company because of his Pokemon GO fanaticism. Now 70-year-old Chen San Yuan is back, and his Pokemon GO mount is bigger than ever.

As you can see, Yuan is now riding around on a bike that allows him to play 45 games of Pokemon GO at once! The mount is a sight to behold, and will certainly catch the attention of anyone Yuan passes by on the street. The real question is...how in the hell does he see around the phones to ride his bike?!

Last year I reported that Mr. Yuan was using 21 phones. In the summer, it seems that he was rocking 30. Few could predict that it was only a fraction of his power, as he is now using 45 phones with little chance of stopping.

The man in action:



I suppose the next step is 60 phones. But how far is too far?

I want him to be completely encased in an orb made of phones and he rolls around playing Pokémon Go on all of them. It will be called the GO ORB and it will not be stopped.

I don't really get how this wouldn't make him a prime robbery target, cheap phones or not that's a lot of phones.

I hope someday he finds someone like him so they can play Pokemon Go together on a 100+ phone tandem bicycle

Holy fuck, well done. If you're retired and have the free time, have disposable income, why the heck not?

Guinness World Record attempt? Just having that many phones attached together in one place doing whatever is impressive enough.

What even is the point? Even people who are obviously cheating with multiple accounts (filling all the gyms in their area with their mons, berrying them to high heaven, etc.) are somehow happy with maybe 10 accounts. You can't even put more than 20 accounts into a single raid.

At this point all these articles about the guy feel like encouraging his addiction. There is less than zero justification for any of this.

I see this eventually going the way of Chronicle, with Taiwanese Pokemon Go Grandpa flying around with phones orbiting him.

That or truck-kun takes another life:

Maybe Pokemon was an isekai all along, and Ash is really this bloke reincarnated.

If anyone is interested in the background of the Pokémon Go grandpa, BrandonTan91 (Pokémon Go player with the highest XP) made a video about him:

He's old what instantly makes all of this super endearing and cute, so stop with all the hate.
