Highlights

  • Pokemon GO players are sharing their massively overstuffed inventories, with one player’s item bag showing 37,000 items over the normal cap.
  • The massive inventory follows multiple similar posts to the Pokemon GO inventories, with several players showing off their high item counts.
  • The inventories saw a plethora of ideas about how players are acquiring the massive counts, with some fans pointing towards Gym PokeStops or the in-game shop.



Pokemon GO players are sharing an unusual quirk with the popular mobile game’s in-game inventory, with one player having 37,000 items over the max capacity. The massively popular monster-catching mobile game from Niantic features more for players to collect than just its lineup of in-game creatures, with multiple useful items available. Items like Berries and stronger Poke Balls can help players to capture new Pokemon, while Potions and Revives keep a player’s Pokemon healthy for Pokemon GO‘s in-game battles. Now, one fan’s inventory is way over the game’s normal max capacity.

Pokemon GO features multiple ways for players to acquire new in-game items, both with frequent rewards and special missions. Players can pick up items by spinning Pokemon GO‘s PokeStops located throughout the map, as well as receiving a small collection of freebies from the in-game shop’s “Daily Item Box.” Many of Pokemon GO‘s Special Research missions also reward players with items like Ultra Balls, Berries, and even some key items for completion. One fan, however, has taken their Pokemon GO item collection to the extreme.
