Aside from Singapore, the company has also opened up slots in London for aspiring Pokémon trainers to try their luck. According to UK site Mirror, the idea for the job came after users continuously asked Funzing for "quirky and fun Pokémon GO experiences".

Funzing is offering 3 months of pay - although the salary has not yet been disclosed. Since job ad went up, both locations - Singapore and London - have received overwhelming responses.
