Retiree Tan Jooi Long spends most weekdays at the mall but he isn’t there to shop. He has more serious business to get done: collecting Pokemon with a group of fellow gamers he met in the course of playing the augmented reality game, Pokemon Go.

“I started playing Pokemon Go from day one when it launched in Malaysia on Aug 6,2016, ” says Tan, 72.
