Unless you've been living under a rock lately, you'll have heard a thing or two about Pokémon Go.

 

But if you haven’t, or just don't have a clue what it is, here’s a bit of info: An interactive game, it’s an app that taps into the biggest fantasy amongst Pokémon fans – ‘What if Pokémon are out in the real world?’

 

It uses real locations to encourage players to get out and about, looking for Pokémon around their own area, virtually that is. 

 

As you can imagine, it’s causing a bit of concern. Aren’t children going to walk into people, things and oncoming traffic as they look down at their phones, instead of straight ahead? Well, yeah, probably.

 

 

With that in mind, one little entrepreneur set about creating some safety gear for Pokémon Go players.

 

This 7-year-old invented Poké Glo, an illuminated button in the shape of a Pokéball. It’s got a catchy slogan too: “Don’t GO without your Poké Glo.”

 

Photos of his creation were posted by Imgur user auburnkay, and it looks pretty nifty, not to mention useful.

 

Unfortunately, the little fellow hasn’t got the cash to get the product made on a large scale, so he and his family have set up a GoFundMe campaign.

 

If you’d like to help him get his Poke Glo made, and help keep kids safe on the move, you can donate here.

 

SHARE if you’re impressed by this little entrepreneur.
