Pkmn Go is hilarious with microtransactions, stuff like plain old boring regular jeans for your avatar to wear is locked to real money purchases. That said his outfit looks like stuff you don't have to pay to wear. Still, this is the guy that blew 2k or more in that one Simpsons app where you did nothing but tap, if it comes to paying for balls or walking to some stops to get more for free he'll probably pay.
The funniest part for me is that Pokemon Go for many people was the closest they could get yet to the real thing of going out and catching critters that they've dreamed of since childhood, and here we have a super fan of Pokemon, who credits it with all his creativeness, and it took getting a switch for free for him to try the stupid game out. I bet if the switch didn't link somehow to the phone app he wouldn't even bother.
