pokemon go

If you're like me you might've been out there trying to catch 'em all, stressed out about making the most outta your limited supply of incense, and completely unaware that the best way to attract Pokémon while using an incense is to jog...at exactly 7.5 miles per hour. So, reasonably damn fast. 

Yes, according to Pokémon GO's coding (first discovered by the Redditor __isitin__), Incense'll spawn one Pokémon every five minutes, if the player is not moving around. Except, the spawn rate surges to once a minute if a player travels at least 200 meters between spawns---about 7.5 MPH.

Based off Pokémon GO's frustratingly glitchy tracking system, and players actually taking pit stops to catch the Pokémon they find---you'd probably be able to catch between 10-15 Pokémon while your incense is active.

/u/ftb_hodor, who is a self-proclaimed member of the Pokémon GO community on Reddit, went ahead and showed off his astounding collection of 142 pokémon.

According to the Pokemon Go master, he caught over 4,250 Pokemon, had to walk over 153 kilometers and reached Level 31 while completing his collection of catchable Pokemon. Helping him complete the collection so quickly was that he lives near an area of Central Park that has four PokeStops clustered together.

Pokémon GO just dropped in Japan, and it doesn't get much more creative, in terms of trying to level up quickly as possible, than this!

Amidst all the Pokémon GO madness, it's heartwarming, bittersweet moments like this that can really strike a chord of positivity in an otherwise mad and wild circus.

So, when a Japanese Pokémon GO player tweeted that he found his deceased younger brother's favorite pokémon beside his headstone, it's a nice bit of serendipity.

Alright, the trolling is strong with this one; but honestly that was hilarious, and long overdue!
