Pokemon Go Player Seen Using 8 Phones in A Car


An American gamer was recently caught using eight phones all loaded up with Pokemon Go after stopping on the freeway hard.

Rick Johnson, public information officer for King County, shared the news on Twitter: "Sergeant Kyle Smith contacted a vehicle on the shoulder yesterday evening. This is what was next to the driver! Playing #PokemonGO with EIGHT (8) phones! Driver agreed to put phones in back seat and continued his commute with 8 less distractions."

The man used eight cutouts that provided snug holds for the photos, both Android and Apple models but it's clear whether the own all those phones or if he was running a side-hustle for other Pokemon Go players.

The Pokemon Go player was stopped on the shoulder of eastbound Highway 518 in Burien near the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on Tuesday night. The sergeant initially thought the vehicle was in distress, so he pulled over to see if he needs assistance. When the officer saw that he was just playing Pokemon Go, he let him go without giving a ticket since he technically didn't witness him playing while driving.

Of course, this is not the first time a Pokemon Go player was seen using multiple phones to play the game. An old man in Taiwan was seen using 24 phones while playing Pokemon Go.

Pokemon Go recently reached its 1 billion downloads milestone.
