We're able to see in figures how many people search for it on google, not how many play, and we certainly can't tell how many kids back in the 90's owned pokemon cards or the original pokemon games.

>>344956202

PokemonGo is the best jewish invention so far
If this lasts for more than a month, it'll be the Pokemon craze all over again

It wouldn't exist without him.
>>344946682
>all over a fucking socializing app
This shit is so stupid.
Money is better than power for as long as it lasts.
If nintendo decides that mobile games are their new direction, after 10 years of neglecting their core fans, they will see a decline and eventually snuff out.
In the end, they'll wonder how something that was so successful could lead to their demise. The only reason pokemon is relevant today is BECAUSE OF their core fans. As long as they continue to keep them happy, their business will continue to have one-offs like this that give a major surplus to their company.
I hope they view this as a benefit of having a loyal fanbase, not a new path to head down exclusively.

>>344955971
We know how much the original gen games sold tho
>>344958393
what the fuck are you talking about?
The reason that there's been a surge of normies is because of the core fans starting the first, then having the right circumstances to mention it to the right influencers.
also youtubers
>>344946682
add me to screencap
>>344958565
Then you would have seen a steady increase, people slowly being influenced and converted by these prophetic "core fans", not a vertical spike.

http://gamerant.com/pokemon-go-14-million-profit/
Minecraft made billions, Undertale made millions, Pokemon Go has only made 1 million dollars for Nintendo. What happened bros?
>>344958680
Youtubers can actually be a part of the core fans. While their personalities are usually insufferable, if their fanbase is large enough, they can kickstart the flames.
To think that shunning their core fans after this would be a better business strategy is foolish. When you own a business, NEVER forget your roots. A new audience is just a pool of potential customers, not ones that are guaranteed to stay, and mobile users are as fickle as they come.
>>344958265
I mean it's a factual statement

>>344958905

>>344958708

>>344959061
Cool, but even if Nintendo got 100% of the profit, they would only make as much money as uncharted 4, and that's pretty sad for the most downloaded mobile game.
>>344959174
nor did they pokemon
>>344958905
Nintendo and the Pokemon Company have ownership on Niantic .
Nintendo has ownership on the the Pokemon Company directly and through Creatures Inc.
The own all the Pokemon trademarks and all the pokemon related revenue goes through Nintendo financials first before it goes to the Pokemon Company where its redistributed to the other owners .
Dont worry about them, they are making bank.
>>344958905
This is what happens when you don't have your own in-house mobile devs. Nintendo will set up new mobile dev studios next to lessen the reliance on third parties.
>>344958708
It'd be funny if Nintendo gained a stranglehold of the mobile market through the sheer strength of their IP.

>Niantic, Inc. is an American software development company based in San Francisco, California. The company was founded in 2010 by John Hanke as Niantic Labs, an internal startup at Google,[1] before it was spun out of Google as an independent entity in 2015.[2][3][4]
>Niantic is perhaps best known for developing the augmented reality mobile games, Ingress in 2012,[5][1] and Pokémon Go together with The Pokemon Company in 2016.

>>344958905
It's been a week.
>>344959503

which at this rate, means that nintendo will get close to rockstar's record (GTA V sold $2 billion within one year of release)

>John Hanke (chief executive of Niantic): Partly it allows us to do something like this with Nintendo and Pokémon, where they can invest and be a co-owner of the company and feel like they have a very tight relationship. They’re putting the number two video game franchise of all time in the hands of this project. It would be more difficult to do if they didn’t at least own a portion of the company. They feel like there’s a good alignment of interest.
The Pokemon Company and Nintendo have ownership in Niantic. The CEO himself says so.

Fucking Chad Muskas and other late teens walking around the fence looking for pokemon. One guy haircut would shove his phone between the bars periodically to see if he could find anything within the park when it only costs $5 for adults to enter, and from the perspective inside the park he looks like he's snapping pictures of the kids playing there like a pedophile. These people are bringing their shittiness out of the house to a terrible effect, I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo limits where, when, and how long you can do things in the app in the future to keep society from breaking down further.

They could add complicated battle mechanic for people who want to play more.
They can add pokemon decorations for people who just want to dress up their pokemon.
They could add pokemon raising mechanic for people who want to have a virtual pet.

But no, we are stuck with this shit forever.
Why are Nintendo so stupid.
