New city Pokebus helps app fanatics find good catch.
Herald Sun August 27, 2016.
A TOUR bus launched for Pokémon GO players is helping fans Catch ’Em All in more ways than one.
Pokemon GO enthusiast Bruce Vorchheimer is one of 40 Victorians who signed up to Melbourne’s first ever Pokebus, which ran today in search of creatures across the CBD.
And Bruce made some pretty frank admissions as to why he’s such a big fan of the game that swept the globe — it’s all about the ladies.
“Me and my head chef at work have a competition on who can get the most Pokémon,” he said.
“It’s a good way to get the chicks.”
How does that work, you may ask.
“Well,” Bruce goes on.
Shimoli Kotecha dressed up as Pikachu for Melbourne's first Pokemon bus tour. Picture: Christopher Chan “I see them playing Pokémon and say, ‘I’ll show you mine if you show me yours’.
“Then I show them what I’ve got in my inventory.”
His smooth moves have earned him two phone numbers thus far.
“One in six times it works,” Bruce told this Herald Sun reporter.
“Can I have your number?”
Sadly, it didn’t work for Bruce this time around.
But the Herald Sun wishes him luck as he embarks on a fearless mission to Catch ’Em All.
Pokémon, that is.

Re: Pokebus
Oh, now I see why I don't have a girlfriend (despite my efforts): I don't play, and refuse to play Pokemon Go! Stupid game, I'd rather spend the day gunzelling than "catching them all". In fact I can think of heaps of other things I'd rather be doing...
Please excuse the meme, but I think it's relevant:
Sorry if I'm the only one who hates this game with a passion, but so is life...
