• A 70-year-old Taiwanese man has gone viral for his
  dedication to the mobile video game “Pokémon Go.”
• Photos from Twitter show Chen San-yuan playing the game
  on 11 different phones at the same time using a special rig
  tied around his waist. 
• San-yuan, who has been given the nickname “Uncle
  Pokémon” has slowly upgraded his setup over the last few months
  and reportedly spends more than $1,200 a month on the
  free-to-play game.

A Taiwanese man has earned the nickname Uncle Pokémon after
gaining international attention for his outrageous dedication to
“Pokémon Go.” Recent photos
show Chen San-yuan, 70, using a waist-mounted rig to play the
mobile video game on 11 different phones at the same time.

San-yuan first garnered virual attention in May, when photos of
the elderly man playing “Pokémon Go” on a bike-mounted setup with
six phones surfaced on Reddit. By the
time video game news outlet EXP.GG tracked him down on camera in
June, San-yuan had upgraded his setup to use nine phones at once
from his bike.

Now it seems that San-yuan has built a new rig to use even more
phones without a bike. In August, BBC reported that San-yuan spends more than
$1,290 a month on “Pokémon Go.” While the game is free-to-play,
the money is spent on new phones and in-game items — the kind of
dedication that may have helped
Pokémon Go ring up $73 million in revenue in October. 

San-yuan uses multiple portable battery packs to power the
devices and he can play for up to 20 hours at once. He told the
BBC that he plans to add four more phones to his setup, bringing
the total to 15.
