Pretty much. At his age, enjoying his free time, hanging around with younger people playing a social game and becoming worldwide famous, he's doing great for himself and I love seeing this stuff.

Taiwanese Pokemon Go grandpa now using 45 phones simultaneously
- Thread starter Forkball
- Start date
Lots of older people play this game, this guy isn't an anomaly because of his age. In fact, a lot of the more hardcore players I know of are middle-aged and older.
You know who else tends to have makeshift boards stacked with phones for raids, or who has six accounts filling all the local gyms? Older people. At best, it's people using them for raids to get more spins on the slot machine of Pokemon Go; it's annoying having to deal with them sometimes because it turns out getting multiple accounts in a raid can be troublesome, and they'll ask you to back out because oh their fifth account didn't make it into the raid, but the most damage they're doing is to the trading economy, which isn't that big of a deal.
At worst, they're stacking gyms with their own accounts, which directly affects everybody else and makes it so the only real solution is for everyone else to start having multiple phones and accounts as well if they want coins. That's straight-up cheating and I don't give a shit how old you are, that's not cool.
Yup, 2 phones is very normal. At least back when I was still playing and I did it as well.
Obviously he needs to have 151 phones.
I recently made a second account when I bought a new phone. Some quests require you do duel another player or trade something, and it's super annoying when I don't meet another player for days. Sometimes a low level second account is the difference between finishing a raid at 3-5 people or failing too.

Imagine being able to do ~3 5 star raids at once just by yourself lol.
You still need to tap them occasionally. I think raids are a bit tough, but then again he can enter with a couple at a time and just do them in sequence.
Even if you do join a raid with 20 phones all by yourself, how do you attack on each phone and still down the boss within the time limit? You only have two hands!
Depends on the difficulty of the boss but you can join a raid with 20 and only attack with a subset. All accounts will still "win". Rayquazza was a relatively easy duo the last time it was out. The current boss, Cobalion, only requires 4/5 with the right counters.
