Craigslist ad offers Pokemon Go 'chauffeur' services to Baltimoreans

A Craigslist user has offered to help Pokemon Go players in Baltimore "catch them all" — in his car.

For $25, according to a recent listing on the classified advertisement website, a user identified as "Mike B." is willing to spend an hour driving players around to Baltimore's Pokestops — places where players can gain more tools to strengthen or catch Pokemon — and local "gyms," where players can train their Pokemon and battle with other participants.

The aspiring "Pokemon Go Chauffeur" has also offered to drive at an "egg-incubating speed" anywhere around the city, which is essentially a walking pace that allows evolving Pokemon to hatch. Players can also opt for one of his "pre-constructed routes," which will avoid highways and major roads and make egg incubation easier.

Mike B.'s offer is among many popping up all over the country since last week's release of the augmented-reality smartphone app that requires players to walk around the real world to capture Pokemon. Similar Craigslist ads can be found for Portland and New York.
