It turns out that there's an amazing side effect to joining the ranks of the millions now addicted to Pokémon Go: better health.

Fitness tracker Jawbone UP claims that users of its fitness band who also mentioned that they used Pokémon Gologged a whopping 62.5 percent more steps this weekend compared to their steps taken during a normal weekend.

The spike in steps, roughly 8,375 more than normal, occurred on July 9 and 10, just a few days after the launch of the augmented reality game on July 6.

And although Jawbone can't guarantee that all Jawbone UP users who mentioned Pokémon Godefinitely have the game installed, the early data backs up the flurry of mentions on social media linking Pokémon Goto fitness.

Now that it's becoming clear that Pokémon Gois getting more people to move around and, as a byproduct, improve their health, the next question is whether someone will harness this unexpected game-meets-fitness win.

So far, none of the major fitness trackers such as Jawbone and Fitbit have indicated any plans to cater to Pokémon Goplayers.

"Not at this time," said a Jawbone spokesperson when asked if there were plans to create a Pokémon Go-oriented feature, "but we're certainly always exploring new ideas. We do have an open API so any developer could work with it to create an app integration from their end."

Nevertheless, the obvious synergy between the game and fitness trackers already has some users openly asking for a solution.

Hopefully (for their sakes), fitness tracker companies will consider the usage trends associated with the app and come up with a solution before Nintendo wises up and decides to turn the Pokémon Go Plus into the fitness tracker it was clearly born to be. (The Bluetooth accessory is already so popular it's sold out on Amazon.)

The Pokémon Goapp currently awards users a "Jogger" medal once they've walked at least 10 kilometers (roughly 6.2 miles), and the company already has a history with activity trackers in the form of the Pokéwalker, a pedometer released in Japan in 2009. Leaning into this unexpected fitness craze could be a seemingly easy move for the company.

However, despite the buzz around the game's exercise benefits, no plans for a Nintendo tracker associated with the game have been announced.

In the meantime, users are burning calories while capturing Pokémon and no one seems to mind becoming more fit as long as it means winning the game.
