As Pokémon Go continues to achieve its phenomenon status around the world, devices such as the 'Poké-Han' are making it easier for users to play the game.
Short for 'Pokémon Hanger,' the Poké-Han is a DIY device that is made from a clothes hanger. The designers of the useful device simply manipulated the hanger so that it fit around their necks and held their phones in front of them and even offer an instruction video for people to construct one themselves. The Poké-Han was created to avoid the arm and neck strain that can be associated with playing the game constantly -- as players are always looking down and holding their phones to catch the popular anime characters.
This comfort-ensuring device is simple and affordable for any of the millions of people who are currently preoccupied with Pokémon Go.
