You're leaving out a few key steps.

>Create multi-billion dollar a year phenomenon product that captures the impressionable hearts and minds of young children.

>Spin your wheels for years, barely innovating and attempting to make lightning strike twice.

>Fanbase becomes adults that haven't had a product in the franchise even half as good as the originals for decades.

>Said fanbase is rabid to recapture their childhood, and will drop cash on literal garbage without a second thought.

It's only after you've done this that you can achieve the shill garbage Game Freak's pulling here.

What's your plan to emulate these steps, OP? What does your long game look like?

Can you play without mobile data with one of these? I'd gladly buy one over having to buy data.

>"It's only after you've done this"

Yes you are right. It's not like anyone would buy a golden phone only because you sell it as "EXCLUSIVE, FOR STARS, U'RE SPECIAL WITH IT" for 1999$.

Skimming-Price Strategy. Google it.
You don't need an established product to make money.
It has to be either innovative or the marketing must me good enough to sell it.

It vibrates and blinks when a pokemon is near.
You push the button -> The game tries to catch it.

>>344528270
Of course you cannot. What the fuck?

You know this pattern has been around for 2 decades right? Nearly 3.
>>
>>344528601
This is not about a game or Gadgets. This is 40$ Stuff.
For 40$ I can buy myself a fucking chinese phone or a pair of mediocre ear plugs or a fucking amateur guitar. I could even buy weed for 1 month.

40$ is just way too much for it. If it would be 15 $ it would be understandable.
But the price of a fucking Pokemon Game itself?

Now instead of looking at your phone all the time, you can look at a blinking LED on a bracelet!
>>
>>344528806
They could charge $100 and it would sell out. It's not about it's functionality, it's because it's an official pokemon thing.
>>
>>344528989
Of course it would sell out. That's the problem.Maybe not for 100, but for even 60$ for sure.

Game Freak aren't involved. It's TPC and Niantic retard.

>>
>>344528963
How else would normies found out you are serious business tho. Anyone can look on their phone, only full-time pokemon trainer would invest in something like this.
>>
It's most likely pointless and a waste of money.

That said, I'll probably still get one knowing I'm making faggots everywhere cringe while having zero impact on my life, so that's worth $40 surely :^)

>Steps for incubation won't track if you have your screen off or on another app or even the home screen
>Phone doesn't send any notifications or alerts of nearby stops or Pokémon if you don't have the game running all the time.
>>
I like how the game is purposely being made shit to sell these things. The fucking app could easily run in the background with the screen and phone otherwise being locked and resting only to vibrate when it needed your attention but noo they have to gimp it to sell this abortion.
>>
>>344527343
u mad?
>>
Having played the game, I totally get the appeal, and I can say that I'd honestly like to have one to keep in a pocket or something. But $40 is insane. It doesn't even negate the other purchase in the game. They want $40 for this and then even more. I might have bought it for $10 or $15; a little more if it gave infinite pokeballs or something.
>>
>>344527520
Can you use the apple watch instead of this plastic thing?

>>344535190
Hahahaha.
>>
>>344527343

>>
>>344534954
Well of course it would have to be running you pleb.

Everything still registers even if my phone is locked. Steps, alerts for nearby pokemon, etc. What type of phone are you using? I can confirm all this is true for the Galaxy S4.
>>
>>344528220
not the guy you replied to but
what?
>>
>>344534436
No it's true, it doesn't even track your location if the app isn't actually open. You can being doing something else and then when you go back to the app it has to grab your location again and move you there. See, if the watch made it so you could catch pokemon even when the app isn't open that would be cool, but you can't so all it does is make it so you don't have to have the phone in your hand all the time, but it does still need to be on and open to the app. "Power saver mode" just blackens the screen when you turn the phone upside down.
>>
I actually want one of these because I have no fucking clue how Pokemon Go works when I'm just staring at the screen.

I went like twelve miles round trip and saw not one Pokemon anywhere.

>>344535439
Well of course the app has to be open. The point I'm trying to make is that you can lock your phone and everything is still registered.

For example, on my way to work the other day, I opened the app, but locked my phone. The screen was off, but the app was still running. I then placed my phone in my pocket, and only took it out when it vibrated to alert me of a nearby pokemon. Upon catching it, I locked it, and placed it back in my pocket. Worked the entire time.

Test it yourself. Put the sound on full, open the app, and lock it. Bet the music still plays.
>>
>>344528806
$40 for an amateur guitar?
>>
>>344535519
the only difference is not having to look at your phone. How is that a "core feature"?
>>
>>344528220
No he means if you were smart you could sell shit. I sold addys and xannys back in uni and never had to worry about eating, was also able to have a PS2 and gambling in my dorm
>>
>>344534436
No, he's right. Location is turned off and the game doesn't send notifications while the screen is turned off.
>>
>>344534447

>>344528806
Dude $40 isn't shit, you're not even unemployed, you're a fucking middleschooler
>>
>>344535849

>>
>>344535849
Nope, locking the screen is the same as backgrounding the app. I lock the screen and the music stops. I move, I unlock the screen, my character then moves to my new location after I unlock the screen. I even tested this the first day I had it locking and unlocking the screen, my character would only updated when I unlock and pokemon only appear when the screen is on.

Might be a phone difference, I'm an Applefag. I know there are ways to force an app to stay running in the background and not just asleep but that'd probably kill the battery even more.
>>
>>344536379
It doesn't work on android either, the dude is trolling.
>>
>>344528806
Are you just unemployed or are you simply too young?

Don't you do groceries or something? Pay bills? Jesus, dude... Now that's depressing.
>>
>>344536379
He's trolling, the FAQ even states that the game must be running. This is why battery saver requires you to tilt your phone downwards to work.
>>
>>344536551
>>344536567
I figured as much. I did a quick google search and people are saying even Ingress did the same thing of only updating when the app is working.

You're absolutely right, the majority of the price is probably just because it's a pokemon branded piece of plastic.
