With a franchise as popular asPokemon, it’s inevitable that The Pokemon Company would expand the series onto platforms outside game consoles. This led to the company releasing severalPokemontitles onto mobile devices. One of these games is the popularPokemon GO,an augmented reality title in which players can, among other things, capture Pokemon while out and about in the real world. Since its 2016 release, the game has gone on to introduce several new Pokemon into the roster of monsters andhas held several community days for players to enjoy.
Originally a collaboration between The Pokemon Company, Game Freak, and Google, those who participated in an April Fool’s DayPokemonChallenge on Google Maps could capture Pokemon while exploring the world on the app. This experiment would eventually lead to the release ofPokemon GO, developed by Niantic.Pokemon GOsees players exploring every area possible to locate rare Pokemon. One avid fan of the game, however, managed to playPokemon GOsomewhere fairly unexpected.

A user on TikTok by the name of SpooferX uploaded a video in which they manage to playPokemon GOwhere the famous ship, the Titanic, sank. While playingPokemon GO, players can change their location byspoofing, which is considered a bannable offense by Niantic. Regardless, spoofing lets players teleport to a specific location in the world. This most likely is what SpooferX did to the exact location where the infamous Titanic sank. During the video, SpooferX enters the location but encounters no Pokemon. Using an incense to cause a wild encounter spawns in the fire/ground-type Pokemon Numel.
Something that some fans may find amusing about this video is the fact that the Pokemon SpooferX finds at the Titanic coordinates wasn’t a water-type but, a Numel fromPokemon Ruby and Sapphire. This is funny due to the fact that Numel being fire/ground type makes it extremely weak to water.
Pokemon GOcontinues to add new content for its players to enjoy. From thenew generations of Pokemon that Niantic is slowly addingto the game or the new features such as Mega Evolutions, fans ofPokemon GOseem to have plenty left to experience. Other mobile titles such asPokemon UniteandPokemon Mastershave also further expanded the content they feature which may result in plenty of new players.
