I was so excited when this game was shit like I knew it would be when everyone was so hyped for it. I was going to be Mayor of 'I told you so'ville for atleast a week.

But instead people are blowing it like the second coming of jesus.

Its Pokemon. So pretty much as long as Nintendo keeps making a quick sequel every year.

I'm waiting for Animal Crossing to go mobile. Since its already a weaker version of Farmville (without the farming).

Probably 2 months when the normies stop playing. If they add real battles and some more features within a reasonable time it will probably be super popular for a year then start to dwindle.

After playing several days I feel i've seen all it has to offer and the will to play is slowly decreasing.

With the way powering up and evolving your pokemon works, having almost a thousand different ones would make the game pretty much unplayable. You basically have to catch a whole bunch of the same pokemon to get "candies" for it that you use to power up and evolve your main pokemon.

I'm sure they'll start adding the newer generations after a while though, once they figure out a way around that.

Not only that but 500+ pokemon would be ridiculous for both the players and the developers.

Having region specific pokemon only in specific regions in the world would alleviate the former, but at the same time annoy a lot of people and be a lot of work for the developer.

But that would be really cool

Pokémon Go is, by all accounts, the single most important digital phenomenon of 2016. I hate it. I hate it with the futile, frustrated passion of anyone who hates an approaching trend and knows, without a doubt, that it will swamp them. I hate the glitchiness of the game, the server crashes and GPS errors that plagued my brief hours with it. I hate the reheated, commercial nostalgia of the whole Pokémon shtick. I hate the lack of mission, the nonexistent narrative, the intended aimlessness of the game: “What is the point?” I demanded, to Jason, who offered only “to catch them all.” Lame.

"Normies" played pokemon when they were kids, thus only are really familiar with Gen 1 and Gen 2.

a week from now, when the hardcore players' pokemon become actually unbeatable and they have closed their iron grip upon all of the gyms, then the casuals will start dropping out of the game. right now everyone is into because we're all pretty evenly matched and conquering a gym is a realistic goal so it's legitimately fun - but every day that passes, the time commitment to stay competitive goes up, and more and more people will start to realize that it's time to uninstall and go back to their normal routines. when that happens, Pokemon Go will die.

Because Gen 1 is the base/city Pokemon.

Gen 2 will hopefully roll out some countryside Johto mons.

Gen 3 will hopefully roll out some exotic mons for exotic destinations

Gen 4 will be cold climate mons

Gen 5 will roll out some mons for the Americas

Gen 6 for Europe/Middle East (Lol)

At least, that's how I hope they go about doing it. It'd be a pretty smart choice if they could implement trading, so that people in different areas had better access to different shit.

Normies love it because nostalgia. They're at work and need something to do on their phone, why not ironically like pokemon and catch them with your mates? If the game launched with gen 3 onwards, the playerbase would be much smaller.

if it lasts even six months it would be a huge financial success, if it lasts a full year it's enormous, if it lasts years it's gigantic.

whatever happens, we lose.

Nintendo doesn't have to do jack shit, they are not the ones creating it, and have to update it, all they have to do is grant licenses for more pokemon related stuff, and get some % of the profit.

Normies WATCHED Pokemon, do you think a normie would have a GB?
>>
>>344793969
Until later gens gets added. There's no way GO will survive with that. It can go at maximum Gen 2.

Gen 3 has 386 pokémon, Gen 4 almost 500. Do you really think people will be playing with this much amount of them? When they need multiples to evolve one? They're not going to give a chance. History will repeat and this audience will drop Pokémon, again.

It works on the main games because it's much easier to catch and get any Pokémon you want, especially in Gen 6. The only way I can see GO staying alive is if we get connection with the main games, so people could get later gens pokémon more easily, and it would help SM sales.

They'll probably add different ways to get candy when there's too many pokemon to realistically get enough just by catching, transferring and hatching them.

The more pokemon the better imo. Catching the same pokemon over and over gets kinda boring and they could do some cool shit with legendary

I just don't really see a huge point in Pokemon GO unless you can take over a gym and become a real life gym leader, dress in a stupid gimmick costume, and yell at people about the superiority of Rock-type Pokemon.

this is a legitimate issue, imagine being a new player in 3 months time. You will be fucked. They will HAVE to implement some sort of season/wipe mechanic.

A few months. Probably only a couple weeks if they don't add battling other people.

I will be extremely impressed if the game survives once winter begins and it's too cold to go exploring.

The game was released at a perfect time. Already a month into summer, it attracts all the people who feel bad that they haven't gone outside to enjoy nature.

some stuff i hope they add

Random pokemon trainers wandering the streets, parks etc. Have a trainer class matching where they are "Lass, youngster, school boy, twins at schools. bikers, joggers on park paths etc." Give a small amount of item shop money when beat. They add you and occasionally send alerts where they are and for how long after you beat them. for rematch

Poke contests. Much like gym battles, but you get collectible pokeballs, and accessories from walking around.

Catching contests. Walk into a park and get an alert saying theres going to be a bug catching contest at x time. Only bug pokemon spawn at general location.

Swarms

Too bad this game is just a CIA ploy to get people to give up their phone information.

I've been trying to figure this out too. It's ironically both the worst fuck up at launch and the most hugely popular game I've ever seen.

It's literally virtually unplayable, and even if it did work, it would still easily be the worst Pokemon game ever made.

1. Catching Pokemon by flicking Pokeballs at them rather than battling them is stupid and makes having a starter Pokemon completely pointless.

2. Gym battles are stupid because rather than actually having turns to decide what action you want to take, you just tap the screen over-and-over.

3. Taking gyms means nothing because whoever is attacking gets six Pokemon against two or three.

4. All you get for taking a gym is 10 Pokecoins and 500 stardust, who gives a fuck?

5. Each person can only have one Pokemon at each gym, so even if you're some real neato badass Pokemon Go master, your gym will always get taken because you have to share it with multiple other people.

6. You could form a team and claim a gym and all work to protect it, but you'll have to do all that thru second and third party means, because there's no friend's lists or actual teams.

6. And the biggest bust of them all: no player vs. player. I guess I just didn't my research, but I had been under the impression that the whole fucking point was going to be to battle other people.

As best I can figure it's just cool and hipster 'cause it's Pokemon, and unlike every other Pokemon game, where you had to actually own a video game system, all you need for this is a cellphone, so everyone can pretend that they've always been into that 90's faux-nerd chic Pokemon franchise.

I'm not hating Pokemon, by any means. I legitimately like the games. Pokemon GO is just verifiably gay.
>>
>>344808883
>Random pokemon trainers wandering the streets,
Literally pointless when they should just have other real people nearby on your map and let you battle them instead

>>344793969
I'm going to say 3-5 months? I'm using Miitomo to estimate; that apparently came out 3 months ago and everybody was talking about that doing a lot of good for Nintendo for a good while for it to later die down considerably.

Pokemon Go hits that perfect balance of playing with normie/nerd 90s nostalgia for Pokemon, but the fact remains that from a pure gameplay standpoint, Go is pretty shitty. Nostalgia alone will keep the game relevant for a little longer than Miitomo, but unless they give it more gameplay than "flick the Ball just right to get a catch/tap your screen and eventually hold your screen to beat Gyms", this fad will fade fast

You know, that's a pretty fucking good thing to capitalize off of. Make items that increase the rate of certain region Pokemon in your area. People are already pumping serious money into Lures at my local college, so imagine all the Genwunners trying to keep everything shrouded in Rattatas and Bellsprouts while other people try to fight back with Hoenn or Kalos items

They said at E3 that more will be added later.

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. It's literally all the game has going for it.

I think they'll tweak the spawn rates to be more biome centric once they add more monsters. At least that's what I'm hoping.

That's not even possible, since not only is is free, but also plays nothing like the main series. If anything this is advertising for Sun and Moon.

Literally the entire point of this game is to give nostalgiafags the chance to live out their childhood fantasies of being a Pokemon Trainer in real life. The app is objectively shit, but the Pokemon skin and the fact you can meet people who like the same game as you makes it worthwhile sometimes, at least for now

I love how people think shit like this is on purpose.

Like the creators actually went place by place on the entire fucking planet and cherry picked the Pokemon for it.

>Proper fucking levelling system

>Currency that is meaningful
>PokeMarts and PokeCenters
>Gyms that can only hold themed pokes
>>
>>344801231
pretty much this

I saw one of the gyms near me is owned by some guy who's level 20 and has a like 2000 CP Snorlax sitting on it.

I decided to quit right then, I just don't care to devote so much time to this game to actually be able to be competitive, and there's no point in playing if you can't actually compete and take over the gyms. Walking around catching pokemon just for the sake of it isn't exactly that exciting. I'll let the kids who can play it 24/7 have it. Pokemon is supposed to be for kids anyway, right?
>>
>>344809003
This. There are some fairly easily implemented improvements that could be made to make it at least a mediocre game. It's the hope they make some changes and improvements that's keeping me playing the game. I wont hold my breath though.
