I just pooped and caught a Bellsprout between wipes
What a time to be alive
Their stocks went up but will Nintendo actually be getting any money out of this?
We got a little drunk yesterday and went Pokémon hunting. It's freakin' great.
I don't see it taking off here as it has in the US, though. At least not until they reduce the data load. Used up over half my monthly allotment just last night.
This is not the proper thread to have this conversation really, but... you can't make a game like that with all those options from the beginning and expect it to have anywhere the success this is having.Well, this is my reasoning:
When I heard the pitch I was very excited. In the context of the core games, it seemed very obvious how you would leverage the geolocation tech to create something entirely new but still true to the mechanics we all love. A literal open-world pokemon MMORPG more or less. Same mechanics as the core games, but in a real-world context. That sounds amazing to me, and that's what I expected.
That's not what this is. Mechanically, this looks completely uninteresting to me, and I feel let down that they would not follow through on the concept that, to me, seems so much more obvious and fun than what this turned out to be.
I don't really bear the game any ill will, or look down on people who enjoy it. I'm just confused about its popularity when I find it so fundamentally uninteresting.
It's a lot of hype.
I wish there was actual mechanical depth, though. High-level pokemon play is very good, and they should carry it over ASAP.
I dont think that they make any money on the stocks unless that they sell it. A stock is afterall "worthless" unless its being sold. Its the same thing when the stock goes down. You've might have read articles where it says that big companies or rich people lost tons of money due to stocks going down, but they technically didnt lose anything unless they sell the stocks.Sort of, indirectly? They have a minority share of TPCi (as well as unknown percentage of one of the other two TPCi owners), as well as full ownership of several pieces of the IP, so I imagine at least some of the cash flow comes back to them somehow. I don't really get how any of that shit works lol
Pokémon GO > Pokémon Red/Blue
Real life out and about.
It doesn t take an invest interest in NX to realize that renouncing to release mainline Pokemon games on Nintendo handhelds is a stupid move because at each iteration Pokemon sell about 15 million units at $40 a pop which is something mobile can 't do.I know you're really invested in NX and i'm also curious to see how it will do. But if it fails to gain traction then yes, yes they should. Watch them soar after that.
Some franchises like Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Monster Hunter are better suited on handheld.Pokemon had been seen as a kids game on kids consoles forever. Being gameboy/DS only limits it really.
Makes me wonder how well a real Pokémon game for the Wii would have done during its heyday.

Never played a Pokemon gamebut when this is realesed in Sweden im trying it out.since im a real gamer
To be honest, it's highly unlikely this will EVER be built around high-level play. This isn't meant to be that at all. It's supposed to be a comparatively simple social experience that's shared by EVERYONE. You're never going to get the mainline GameFreak experience, because that's what mainline GameFreak games are for. If anything, going that route will hurt this, because it will turn off the ultra casuals.
I saw 2 random young adults wandering my apartment complex at 11 p.m. -- turns out they were playing.
A friend's roommate got in a low-speed car accident playing it while driving. I can only hope most people don't do it and drive.

I think it's a test case for Nintendo. They've been working towards context aware games for some time now, with Streetpass and everything, but lacked the technological know-how or perhaps confidence to put in a lot of money to create something really geobased. The moment I heard about Pokemon Go, I had a hunch that this is what NX is going to be about. It marries the successful fitness stuff of Wii, with the positive societal change philosophy of Nintendo, and integrates the handheld and the home console, which also offers QoL a line into the NX platform. What started off as a hunch now becomes pretty solid for me given how much the current success will embolden them.Well, this is my reasoning:

Can't say I saw anything Pokemon Go related anywhere. Wonder if this phenomenon it's an US thing or it's just me.
I've seen it from a few places but it's mostly been resonating with fans of the main series. Personally I'd like to see the battle mechanics or at least a less in-depth but more than currently implemented battle system added in, but the app clearly doesn't need it as people are out and playing it all over the place.My favorite part of this has been the "hardcore" Pokemon fans popping into every thread to assure everyone the game is garbage.
I see. I thought you were referring to the stock price as the guy you quoted mentioned, but i guess his question could have been about stock prices and earning in general.I was referring to the cash being made through the app itself, not the effect of the share prices.
Nintendo is certainly not letting the main series move to mobile. That would basically be a death sentence to their own handhelds.
its not out WW yet.
Yeah do we reckon it has staying power most of these things usually dry up fast
