This is how Pokémon Go covers the world in Pidgeys and Rattata


Ever wondered how the millions of common Pokémon covering the planet actually got there?

Thanks to YouTuber Nixolas, we now know — you just throw them out of an airplane. Using a combination of real-life footage, 3D software and crowd creation through Goalem, he was able to render the scene.
