Fear not, Pokémon chasers, there is a new way to hunt down the little critters across America. 

Two brilliant entrepreneurs have put ads on Craigslist offering to drive obsessive Pokémon Go players around town for a small fee. That means you can catch all the Pokémon you want without worrying about the minor issue of car accidents. 

This is the next level in Pokémon Go game play. Although we can't guarantee your safety, you can rest assured you will get the Pokémon that were once out of reach.

A second advertisement from a person claiming they are a licensed driver has offered to take Poké-mad peeps around New York. Passengers will be limited to three people in a five-seat vehicle, simply for "quality of life." In good news, it is a Wi-Fi-enabled trip. 

You can score this sweet deal for $20 per hour, which is nothing for the glorious feeling of attempting to catch 'em all without getting any exercise.
