Company builds a drone to do all your Pokemon Go walking!

When a Redditer tied his smartphone to a drone so he would be spared from walking around to catch pokémon, the internet called it cheating. But now a company wants to make it a legitimate option with what they call a Pokédrone.

Created by TRNDLabs, the Pokédrone is a miniature drone that is equipped with a camera and GPS technology. It is tied to a custom controller that also acts as a dock that connects to the user’s smartphone via WiFi, reports Tech.Co.

It can hover in one place and has auto take-off as well as landing capabilities to make it easier for those without drone-piloting skills.

Pokédrone may not be hitting the market any time soon, however. The use of “Poké” requires a license agreement with the Pokémon Company. The idea may be accepted as a necessary innovation, but such a device at the user’s disposal takes away a bit of the “Go” part in Pokémon Go, some observers say.

Players have been stepping out and meeting new people, thanks to the the nature of the game. But with a Pokédrone, they will have the option of avoiding social interactions and the social phenomenon that Pokémon Go has created will have been undone.

An actual drone manufacturing company has sought to get in on the Poke-craze by creating a model specifically designed to fly phones around so users can increase their distance and hatch more eggs. What a time to be alive.
