Why the fuck does Nintendo never learn?
>>
They don't care
They're the shittiest company in gaming, they give literally no shits.
>>
actually they just learned that they're sitting on the ultimate autism goldmine and they're recently starting to take full advantage of it
>>
I know right, they always make a profit and have a very limited supply to keep up interest. Why not just over produce and have people realize how stupid it is very quickly.

Pretty sure it only tells you that there's a Pokemon nearby so you take out your phone.

Nah, not that they arent bad but I at least think they have a clue about the consumer, a very bad one but still a clue. Nintendo is just retard jew.

Does using it still consume phone data or is this an alternative if you run out of it?
>>
>>344726240
Oh! So they made an amiibo for Pokemon GO, and artifically limited the supply of it, like they do with all their amiibos?
Smart nintendo is smart! They'll be able to sell them a little at a time for much money!
Is the wearable also of very low quality (compared to its cost), so it'll break, and people will need to buy more?
Very smart nintendo!

Pokmen have been using the same stale formula for two decades now, same deal as platformers, fighting games and shoot'em ups. every single genre has been dead for a while except for zombie survival sandbox games which were dead on arrival, pun semi intended.

>>344727743
Yes I know wizards of the fucking coast invented artificial scarcity.
But wizards of the coast haven't targetted the mobile market!
Very stupid!
Also their games are too complex for a random dumbshit faceberg tyronestacy to pick up and play!
Very stupid!
Plus, the game doesn't sucker you in with cheapo $5 "Starter decks" or other cheap equipment like that, baiting you into spending more and more money. Instead you're put straight into fighting against the $200 decks from day 1, so you can't get the dopamine hit of spending only $3 to beat someone, and the sunk cost fallacy can't set in!
Very stupid!

Nintendo is smart!

What the hell does this thing even do?
>>
>>344726240
It's almost like they have this weird thought that used prices mean that the quality of the product goes down in peoples' eyes. It must be the only excuse because for many of their products, whether it be merchandise or the games themselves, they seem to encourage higher prices through lower production. This method has kept it impossible for many first party Wii U games to be found any lower than $40 despite being many years old and collector's items to be scalped immediately upon release. The former is also reinforced through their attitude towards virtual console and preventing the price of retail games to decline or go on sale many years after release through their own digital service.

It's baffling that such practices could persist for years upon years by a first party company that has been making poor creative choices on top of wacky financial ones without some sort of repercussion.

That's now how it works faggot.
Look at beanie babies. They intentionally had a limited supply so demand would increase. The second they "retired" one people would line up for hours to get the last few.
This is why amiibos were so popular last year and this is why this thing will be desirable until the holiday season. Also I don't think they anticipated pokemonGO to be the world wide phenomenon it is right now.

People will stop playing it in about 2 weeks when twitter gets bored of it. Any remaining "nerds" will keep playing until gen III "when pokemon was good". Afterwards it'll be diehards and some other autistics left.

To be fair ingress was just as horrible in the very begining. Go at least has the novelty nostalgia of the original pokemon which wont last for too much longer. They better start adding shit and fast or people will just stop playing.

>It's baffling

Not really. Most people are stupid and equate expensive and rare with quality. Plus, understocking means that Nintendo is never left holding the bag. When games or hardware bomb like the WiiU or Starfox its less of a loss for Nintendo.

Nintendo just likes to operate by being very prudent with its choices like how all its hardware is underpowered but definitely cheaper to produce. It sells its games on the gameplay and gimmicks. Its just more simpler and safer.

Meanwhile, Sony and Microsoft produce and sell hardware at a loss and hope to recoup the price. This has lead to things such as people buying up Playstations so they can make a cheap cluster for parallel computing.

More like it's harkening back to days when Pokemon was a colossal cultural phenomenon in the 90's, so basically something you never experienced.

You have no clue just how huge it was in the 90's if you're seriously bringing the fucking Pokewalker into this.

>Free socially popular game with IAP
>Promote full fledged game with social aspects of mobile game
>Make a full game for fans and mobile games for casuals while dominating market and making a profit
There is 0 reason for them not to do this.
All that is going to come to this is Nintendo going "Holy shit i guess everyone was right that mobile is worth looking into" and hopefully get more servers for their next launches and have them look forward more often at new tech.
>>
>>344739627
Companies dont strike oil once and say "well that was worth checking out, but it's not that important". They pursue it as hard as they reasonably can. They dont distinguish between main fans or casual fans, they see what's most profitable. Nintendo especially who is happy to almost completely bench less successful IPs like Metroid and Star Fox is bound to take such a route. If they see the vast majority are responding to their phone game it's not a stretch to believe they'll want to get as invested as possible in tapping it.

It's a button that lights up and/or vibrates when you go by a Pokestop or a Pokemon. If it's a Pokestop you can tap the button to auto-collect. If it's a Pokemon you've caught before, you can use the button to toss a pokeball at it and hope you catch it. If it's a new pokemon, you have to actually pull out your phone and try to catch it like normal. Still requires your phone and connects through bluetooth.

A program that emulates the button would need to be more automated since you still need to interact with the button still, and it'd need to vibrate/make a noise when you pass by a pokemon that requires you to catch it like normal, otherwise it'd be useless. Basically, it's more effort than just tricking the Go app to think it's connected to a Go Plus.
>>
>>344732218
kids dont give a shit about the levels they just want to catch them, even the fatties are astonishing parents and teachers alike by walking and exercising more than ever before, entire kilometers of walking or running with no prompting or pleading necessary.

this one app has singlehandedly offered a way to combat child obesity, and these effects are showing in just a single week of use in two regions. by the end of the week Europe and Asia will also have the app, causing a similar craze. by the end of the summer there will be trading, and who knows how much else. there are still legendaries being sought after, many pokemon remain unfound.

and then when summer ends, kids go back to school and the app gets a second burst of activity as schoolyard kids trade what they've found and share experiences. rumors akin to the sort of stuff you heard in grade school back in the late 90s, will emerge for pkmn go. kids imaginations will grow. they will spend more time outside and interacting with real people.

what we are seeing is week fucking 1 and it's already a global craze.
>>
>>344741058
for one, you wouldn't have to spend money on the strap on and look like a retard

for two, you could make it so that as soon as it's triggered the app automatically pushes the virtual button.

Also right now you have to keep the app running if you don't have the strap on, with an emulating app you could do other things and save battery since it's probably on a push notification system instead

i'm imagining people in their mid-thirties still rolling their wrist impatiently, 21 years later, like "the pokefad will die out.... ANY TIME NOW...." but deep inside they know it never will and refuse to accept it

yeah i know that
but i dont see how it will replace couch and beer dudebro fifa
pokemon go is the new angry birds
not only that but you can only play it while walking around

i was actually really suprised of that too, literally the most casual out of touch girl i know was playing it, gj nintendo

pokemon works cause ITS BEEN A CHILDHOOD DREAM to being able to walk around and capture pokemons

It'll be interesting to see for sure. I cant see it holding much attention for long in its current state but i'd love to find out if it's possible.
>>
>>344743328
that's logic you've fed your own brain so that you can move on from it, but clearly you couldn't move on after all cuz here you are, in this thread, 21 years later, still trying to find some roundabout way to affirm that Pokemon is not still exactly as popular as it always has been. that you have the correct and rational perspective.

I kinda' like this renewed hype for Pokemon.

I just kinda' wish it was a better game. Like, I felt the mainline pokemon games were a little simple in their battle systems, but this is about as bare-bones as it gets.

The least they could have done was keep THAT level of depth and not made it shallower.

What I wanna know is why is this thread allowed on /v/. Pokemon has it's own board, this is either /fa/ or /toy/ and it's not video games.
>>
>>344726346
Mmmmm. Salt.
>>
>>344744518
I'd spend $35 to save my own life if I were an idiot that plays Pokemon Go while driving or walking.
>>
>>344744575
Anything Pokemon related, that is not video games, goes on /vp/. Anything that is vidya related is fair game on /v/. So anime, manga, pop-tarts, etc goes there.
>>
>>344744575
Tell that to numerous Go threads up at any given moment. It's like /vg/ means nothing either.
>>
>>344744575
/vp/ is a containment board for furries or sick people in general. Pokemon is still vidya related

Pokemon go is the best thing nintendo has done in years.

You're braindead if you don't understand that most of /v/, a board populated primarily by proud (lol) NEETS who don't socialize much, is going to get massively butthurts when this ridiculously intense social phenomina sweeps over the entire world and starts bringing the wonder and sheer joy of popular videogaming that practically developed entire childhoods in the 90s.

If you don't think this shit its the tits then you're jaded as all hell and there was never any hope for your ass anyway. This is one of the few times when you can talk about a game and say "Everyone and their grandmother is playing this game and you fucking should be to." and be objectively right. Shits free. Literally no excuse to not at least try it out aside from being a stuck up or lazy faggot.

>>344745945
It's not "objectively" right when the game is objectively shit. It's horribly unoptomized, filled with glitches and crashes with the most casual, boring, shallow gameplay seen in a mobile game for years, which is saying a lot. Just because it's popular doesnt mean it helps put you in an authority to say the game is worthy of everyone's time.

You'd think so.

>>
>>344746220

Unfortunately Nintendo can only produce so much while scalpers keep an eye out to take advantage of such.

I think it's because they watched their friends play it and want to play too. A friend of mine (who has never shown a single ounce of interest in Pokemon in the 7? 8? years I've known him) bought a new phone solely to play this because his friend dragged him along to catch Pokemon when it came out and "it looked awesome". I was thinking maybe he was a fan back in the day and just never said anything before? So I asked him what his favorite generation and Pokemon were, you know, nothing too autistic. And he responded with "I really have no idea haha". Surely if you were familiar with Pokemon in the slightest you could say something like Pikachu or Charizard or something. He's the complete opposite of a Chad too so it's a little surprising.
