You can now plan your next vacation entirely around Pokemon Go. Yes, I’m serious.

Tripaya has added ‘Pokemon Go’ as a filter, and tells TNW it “finds the best places to get rare Pokemons, with flight and hotel included.”

Unfortunately, Tripaya doesn’t tell us what makes a destination Pokemon-friendly. It seems to limit results to major metropolitan areas in countries where Pokemon Go is playable, which makes sense.

I tried it out for myself (since I’ve got a few days off coming up soon), and it returned results as far away Melbourne, Australia.

The only downside is that Tripaya uses the Euro for pricing, and I didn’t see a way to filter it to Dollars or other currency. Still, if you’re serious about Pokemon Go — as in serious enough to plan a vacation around it — check Tripaya out.
