Grab and Hotlink announce PokeMobile service – free rides to nearest Pokestops when game launches

Grab Malaysia and Hotlink are hopping onto the Pokemon bandwagon today as they’re launching four limited edition PokeMobiles that will offer free rides to the nearest PokeStops and a host of free goodies. The cars are immediately obvious on the road with Pokemon livery on the sides and the Grab and Hotlink logo emblazoned all over the hook and doors.

While they did not announce the exact date of the Pokemon GO game launch, barring a promise that it would be ‘soon’, Grab and Hotlink mentioned that all Pokemon GO players can get a free ride via the Grab app, designated via a special icon for the first two days after the launch. Inside each PokeMobile are refreshments, the chance to recharge your gear along with an iPad mounted on the dashboard running the Pokemon GO app via a Hotlink SIM card so you can see nearby Pokemon.20160801_105335

That’s not all, if you’re already a Hotlink customer, they’ll give a free US$100 worth of PokeCoins – ingame currency for the game – via Hotlink Cash Online. This is equal to 14,500 PokeCoins which gives you quite a headstart. Hotlink Cash Online can also be used to purchase other apps or in-app expendables in the Google Play Store.
