Pokemon GO players are sharing an unusual quirk with the popular mobile game's in-game inventory, with one player having 37,000 items over the max capacity. The massively popular monster-catching mobile game from Niantic features more for players to collect than just its lineup of in-game creatures, with multiple useful items available.

One fan, however, has taken their Pokemon GO item collection to the extreme.
