Okay well career may be taking it a little bit far. But some Pok\u00e9moning maestros have been\u00a0earning\u00a0thousands of dollars thanks to their superior catching skills.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, how have they done it? By simply selling their login details on eBay.<\/p>\n

Alas, the demand\u00a0for Pok\u00e9mon accounts already brimming with captured\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon is high. And although this contravenes everything the game is about – mainly rummaging about in your local park at\u00a0the dead of night – buyers are still keen to get a head start (and subsequent bragging rights) without putting\u00a0in hours.<\/p>\n

Basically if Lance Armstrong were to take-up\u00a0Pok\u00e9moning, this would be\u00a0the way he’d do it.<\/em>

\nOne eBay user who sold his account for $1,500 stated in its\u00a0listing:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat you\u2019re purchasing is my account, which I have put my time and effort into, which makes this a whole lot easier for you! I\u2019m just a broke college student in debt, and every penny helps.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Other entrepreneurial options to explore include walking\u00a0around, catching Pok\u00e9mon and incubating their eggs. A job that, according to the Independent newspaper, has an hourly wage of $20-30.<\/p>\n

So there you have it – if you’re strapped for cash and enjoy\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon you could potentially make a bit of money. However I’m not entirely sure Pickachu would approve.<\/p>\n
