Seemingly innocent 'Pokémon Go' prank got well out of hand
Watch Next

For some people, Pokémon Go is not simply a game, it's a lifestyle.

Take this man, for example. He's such a dedicated Pokémon Go trainer that he regularly gives his sister his phone and drives her all over creation so she can catch Pokémon for him.

Knowing how serious he is about the game, his sister decided it would be funny to play a terrifying prank on him, which involved her creating a brand new, almost identical version of his account to make it seem as though his 26 levels of experience had been completely erased.

Though Pokémon Go pranks are all in good fun, this one took an unexpected turn.
