This lad just pulled the best ever Pokémon Go prank on his mum by embarrassing her in Tesco
When Sharon Wall asked her son how she could get hold of the popular new app he hilariously sent her to the supermarket
A MUM, who wanted to play Pokémon Go, asked her son to help her get hold of the addictive app, but instead he used the opportunity to embarrass her in Tesco.
When Sharon Wall, 48, asked Nathan how to download Pokémon Go, he did what any 22-year-old would do and managed to prank his mum by convincing her she needed a code from the supermarket.
In a series of funny text exchanges Nathan tells his mum, who wanted to play the popular phone version of the classic 90s card game, that she'd have to say to Tesco staff "I want to be the very best" to get it.
"Basically you have to buy a card with a code on it, go to any shop I went to Tesco and when you get to the front of the que you have to lean in to the cashier and whisper in his ear 'I want to be the very best'.

"Sounds silly I know but it's some marketing thing to entise other customers in the que to get it. It's free though," wrote Nathan.
A more sceptical Sharon initially didn't believe her son, but she was reassured when he said: "I had to do it. The people being the till will know, I bet there's other people in there doing it when you got in."
Sharon asked her son to come along to the shop with her, where he secretly filmed her asking a Tesco cashier, before bursting into laughter.
"The people in the shop realised what happened and found it hilarious," Nathan, from Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, explained to
"I wouldn't say I got in trouble but I felt guilty for about 30 seconds. She took it in good spirits and is convinced she's going to get me back."
