<\/p>\nAs you will know the world has gone slightly mad this week with the release of Pok\u00e9mon Go, catapulting the kids of the 80’s and 90’s into hysterics. Reinventing the Pok\u00e9mon brand the release of the app breathes new life into Pok\u00e9mon seeing many individuals making money from the game launch.<\/p>\n
Pok\u00e9mon Go is a free-to-play location-based augmented reality mobile game developed by Niantic, seeing users take to the streets to look for virtual Pok\u00e9mon characters. Causing havoc on the streets as well as in the forums the world is fighting to be crowned Pok\u00e9mon Go champion, with some even sourcing outside help for such virtual missions.<\/p>\n
American girl, Ivy, is just one example of how people are making money from this free app. Seeing a gap in the market for workers that love the game but have not got the time to put into it Ivy is offering her services at a fee of $20 per hour; a fee that people are more than happy to pay.<\/p>\n

“I will walk around in 1-4 hour shifts signed into your account capturing every single Pok\u00e9mon I come into contact with, activating every Poke Stop I pass and walking nonstop to help hatch your eggs,” Ivy said in her now-deleted ad.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019ll even send you hourly updates while you\u2019re at work, class [or] on a hot date informing you of any really exciting things I\u2019ve come across for you. Pok\u00e9mon training help, gym battles and strategy tips are also included, if requested.”<\/p>\n
Whilst initially posted as a bit of a joke Ivy soon realised that there was actually room to make money through the hype, with many competitors mirroring her mission. Soon after she posted her ad Pok\u00e9Walk launched, which advertises similar services to Ivy.<\/p>\n
