#4 Pokemon Go makes it to the world of football - Vancouver Whitecaps, 2016
Remember Pokemon Go? The mobile phone gaming application which took the world by storm was one of the biggest phenomenons of the decade. The world of Pokemon is one adored by millions across the globe, and in 2016, Pokemon Go was quite simply one of the most widespread cultural trends out there.
The game involved users going out of their houses and venturing into the real world to catch some Pokemon characters. In the same year as its initial release, Major League Soccer team Vancouver Whitecaps decided to make use of this latest fad to announce their latest transfer.
In what is one of the earliest instances of a team making use of social media to post a bizarre transfer announcement, the MLS club 'captured' player Marcel De Jong within the game and acquired his services for the team.
Have a look at the video - it is so simple yet hilarious that you cannot stop and admire the creativity behind it.
