Is this the future of gaming/business?
>If you’re a local business owner and haven’t yet checked out this game, I’d highly recommend downloading it for free from the Google Play Store (where it is at #1 ahead of Snapchat and Facebook Messenger) or the Apple App Store – there’s a good chance you could be one of these Gyms or PokéStops! If that’s the case, prepare for the influx of foot traffic and potential customers.
>Don’t Turn Them Away, Lure Them In!
>Fortunately, you can do more than just embrace the game and feature it in your marketing or signage. Pokémon GO has a purchasable in-game item called a “Lure Module” which attracts Pokémon to a particular PokeStop for 30 minutes. Those Pokémon it attracts? They’re visible to and attainable by everyone in the nearby vicinity. Use it during a typically slow period of your day to get more foot traffic, and then use your creativity to turn them into a paying customer.
>Our local library doubles as a Gym and a PokéStop, and they’re planning to drop Lure Modules before popular events like their Summer Reading Program. Advertising it on their Facebook page beforehand is a smart strategy, and there’s nothing more enticing to players than knowing ahead of time when and where they can catch a bunch of Pokémon!
is it jew to try to take every single penny?

>>344821909
people will be tired of this shit before you know it, its a fucking fad
people will only be using it when their already out and bored.
the game has literally 0 replay-ability after you get all 150 pokemon except for "battling" gyms
I give pokemon go till the end of the summer.
>>344822824
Incense nigga. You can sometimes find them when you catch Pokemon, and they lower Pokemon to your specific location for 30 minutes. You can also stop at any church and get more items.
>>344823121
I see a lot of potential in GO but they released it in such a barebones state that I'm afraid by the time it finally gets good (if ever) it will have already lost so much hype that nobody will be playing it anymore, and right now it's only fun to play because other people are playing it.
Without the Pokemon name attached, nobody would be playing it, even if it got the same amount of exposure. It's just not a fun game.
>>344823121
>pokemon is a fad
when was the last time i heard this
What's 100 pikachu coins in USD?
>>344823470
I didnt intend to actually play the game. Just downloaded it to see how my area ended up as far as pokestops and whatever go.
>leaving the house
>>344823121
>its a fucking fad
people said this about angry birds and minecraft and those weren't popular IPs from the start
imagine if Flappy Bird wasn't taken down by the creator and was trying to make money, it'd be just as big
you are blind if you think the momentum is just going to fade away after all this hype generated by normies
>Another "abloo abloo somebody is making money out of videogames!" thread
>>344823689
$0.99
>>344823121
and by the time someone gets all 150, there will be an exta 100+ mons to catch+whatever updates such as expanded battling trading, training etc.
Nintendo may be stupid, but they are not dumb. They won't let Niantic let PoGo die as quick as it became popular.
>>344823557
look at this >>344823480
And you'll say
>But pokemon comes out every year and people still buy it
Right now everyone whose ever heard of pokemon is playing this game, chads are playing this game even if they never touched a gameboy. People are gonna delete this app in a month or two and forget about it and never update it. And it will become
>LOL You still play pokemon?
All fucking over again.
If there was a way to battle each other then I could see this becoming a long lasting thing (people will form actual rivalries, and first time you meet someone you might battle them) but in the state its in now its boring af.
Seriously what are people gonna do after they get all 150 or even just get the few that they like or remember from their childhood. You think all these people are gonna stay into this and train their pokemon and go to churches to fucking click their screen hoping they win a gym for their team?
Even if nintendo updates the app to include the next generation or two you think people are going to get as hype as they are now? Most normal people who started at the 1st gen didnt play past silver if that.
When are they going to add the ability to make your own shit my town is so fucking empty
>>344823121
Nigga we still have six more generations to tap into, Niantic'll just jam a new one in once enough time's passed. If they're smart, they won't jerk this massive hook they have on everyone loose.

I love the blind scepticism here. People have said Pokémon is dying ever since it came out. The game isn't even a week old and you guys think you can judge how long it will last. How do you know they aren't about to release a patch? This game had such a quiet release with pretty much no word from the Pokémon Company or Game Freak, so patches will likely be released the same way. I love the way /v/ denies success even when literally the entire world is playing it.
There is literally more than 50 people just sitting outside the Casino where there are three constantly stacked lures, it's hard to walk past the crowd. This is already working for business's.

Fucking disgusting.
>>344824875
>He said pokemon GO is a fag you illiterate mongoloid
This game is gonna keep its lifespan by sloooowly releasing the newer gens and saving the legendaries for special events.
Pretty sure the newer gens are just going to be an optional switch of what pokemon you find, cant seem the clustering all gens in one area.

The only thing of Nintendo that has any chance of dying is their console power.
They could easily go totally handheld and phone and be fine.
Hell, they could even attempt to test the pc market and probably do insanely well too.
>>344825598
The difference here is that Pokémon Global Offensive is not a fad. Wii Fit, Brain Age, Nintendogs, and Miitomo had no hype whatsoever and were basically DOA. The Wii is still one of the top selling consoles of all time and Amiibos are still selling like hotcakes.
Pokémon GO has been incredibly hyped since its announcement and has only picked up momentum since its release.
>>344825775
3DS is their worst selling handheld
Face it kid, they will be full Konami by this time next year after the NX flops harder than Wii U. Based Sony is the only Japanese company left making REAL games for real gamers, not normalfag bait trash social app bullshit. Nintendo is fucking dead.
Someone need to use this to place lure just fuck up some event or the traffic.
How many times until someone start a massive shooting to random pleoples with only these lure as bait?

>>344825598
Are you genuinely going to pretend like the Wii, Wii Fit, Brain Age, Nintendogs, and Amiibo didn't all sell a metric fuckton? No idea what the fuck Miitomo is so you're probably right about that one.
>>344825901

To some degree, yes. This app has probably made Nintendo realize the cash to be made on mobile.
>>344826078
Maybe you missed it, but Nintendo objectively just won E3, the biggest vidya conference of the year. So if any of the big 3 should stay on this board, it's the company that had more gameplay than all other companies combined. These Sonygger tears are delicious.

>>344823121
I went hunting with my friend today and told him that I wish this game put in the autumn. He said that I'm right and that autumn would be great for the game because more people would want to be outside for the game. Then I replied that this game will be forgotten by then and he said I'm probably right.

Good job.
My brother was telling me about how they put a lure down at the place he works and they were getting a ton more business that day. They were giving people a small discount on stuff or something if they were playing the game there.
It was kind of nice to hear about, since there are so many people sharing a common interest with eachother, but it's still going to die in a month or two, unfortunately.
btw shit works

Tanned Americans have already used the app to lure people in to mug them.

You really want to hear about pokemon GO for the next 20 years?
Like some anon above me said this is a fad like Brain Age, or Nintendogs, or Wii Fit, just with a bigger gimmick and brand name behind it. It will make nintendo their money and then die, like flappy bird, candy crush, 2048, and farmville. Maybe pokemon go will replace clash of clans for a few months before something else comes along.

Hi there!
You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

I'd spend time making a cohesive argument as to why the current state of liberal/left politics in the world is closer to fascism than any other current political ideology apart from actual fascism, but you're clearly to stupid if you can't see it yourself.

Pokemon Go is only on version 0.29. If they continue to update the game, it's popularity will continue to rise. Otherwise, the game will die pretty fast if they don't make constant updates.
