An Airtasker user is offering $100 a day to someone to catch Pokemon for them

The world has officially lost it over the new Pokemon Go mobile game.

Not only does the app now have more users than Tinder, but it has caused a ripple effect into other areas of life outside of gaming.

For example, people are exercising more, certain restaurants are getting more customers, and fans are uniting to organise group events.

But it's also had a negative effect, with reports that robbers are taking advantage of the game to target victims.

Like I said, the world has lost it.

Now, it seems people are even willing to pay for advantages in a game that is FREE.

In Sydney, Aladdin M. is offering $100 a day for someone to capture Pokemon for him.

For real.

All that is involved for the easy hundred bucks is to log in to Aladdin's account, capture as many Pokemon as possible.

The only catch? You must be able to prove that you're "a good trainer".

We've reached out to Airtasker to see if we can chat to Aladdin. We will hear back soon.

However, the platform anticipates more ads like this in the coming days and is setting up a landing page for dedicated to Pokemon Go listings.

For now, the only other job we can find on the site is a user asking someone to put a Pokemon Go Gym/PS at a Darlinghurst location. It pays $20.

See it here.

More to come.
