Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???

Lol they promised a lot of shit with that epic trailer, don't act like it's not actually the most hype thing we've seen pokemon-related.
And also, i really think the medium doesn't determine how mediocre your game will be. Remember pokemon started on a device that couldn't even handle color.
So yeah, the backlash will be astronomic. And i really hope it doesn't damage the brand.

Well, this doesn't look very good. At all. Actually it looks kinda awful.
Bring on Sun and Moon.

I think Sun & Moon will do better
But what if it does 14.99 million
I think so too, it'll come close to Black and White
That sonic mobile game was played by 100 million. Pokemon is bigger than sonic.

Just needs to do 14,460,001 to do better
It's illogical to think that just because it's Pokémon it'll do well. The Pokémon Company has had to pull the shutter on three apps recently, two of them weren't even past their first year, all because they just weren't doing well. Pokémon Shuffle Mobile's attach rate has only recently passed 5 million downloads on Mobile devices. It's not that far ahead of the 3DS version in doing so. It took less than a month less time than the 3DS version to hit 4 million.
It's not guaranteed success

150,000,000 might seem like a lot when talking about handhelds, but just in the last three months of 2015, there were 400,000,000 smartphone sales. Around 1,350,000,000 for the year, and a little less than that but still over a billion in 2014.
Pokemon GO is going to reach an audience much, much larger than any pokemon game before it. I wouldn't be surprised if it does become the top-played Pokemon game.
Someone didn't read the follow up post I made. I never tried to downplay what the trailer did.
Other Pokémon smartphone games haven't reached that. Just because it's Pokémon doesn't mean it'll do well. See my prior post for examples.

5M downloads for a Bejeweled game with a Pokemon skin. That's actually impressive considering the stranglehold Candy Crush has.
150mil are downloads though right? Not sales since the sonic games are free. I mean 150mil seems like a lot for handhelds because people not only pay for them, but they pay $40.

Ew...
That looks... Well, like a cheap mobile game.
I really expected Nintendo to throw their weight and pedigree behind this, but that looks clunky and awful.

What did yall think it was goin gonna be? Pokémon Platinum? Sike
The Spirit Camera 3DS game never ever worked for me. I tried setting the book on all different light sources I have at home, outside and it never works. Can't beat the tutorial because of this. So as long as this Pokémon game works it will be better in my book.

The way the map is handled is freaking awesome if it's doing what it seems to be doing.

Looks mediocre, but it'll probably make more money than basically any game the year it comes out (unfortunately)
A lot is being invested in this partnership but it's not classified as a Nintendo mobile game.

Level 9, the level cap is already higher than the original one in Ingress (which was 8)!

Right, you're not wrong.
It's just that if GO isn't a complete piece of trash, it's not hard for it to hit 100M downloads on a single platform. It might seem like that doesn't mean much when the game is free, but in-game purchases work, despite how forums on the internet feel about them.
I'm not saying it's going to be the best Pokemon game yet, just that it might wear the crown in "consumers" and profit for a very, very long time.
My uni is in the middle of nowhere. I think I'll be stuck with Stantler, Sawsbuck, Miltank, and if I'm lucky maybe even a Gogoat.
Really curious to see how they implement what Pokémon you can get in certain locations.
This is developed by Niantic with aid from Game Freak, The Pokémon Company and Nintendo. That's why the reveal had Hanke, Masuda, Ishihara and Miyamoto (would have been Iwata)
Were people ever hyped for this? I mean, the trailer was cool but once I found out it was just based on Google Maps Street View and not actual AR I was pretty unimpressed. The footage is early, and may get better, but mainline Pokemon will always be the better games.
Rule 1: never get hyped for a overhyped mobile game.
My expectations were always pretty low, so I think it looks cool, haha.

People were overthinking what that game would be...
Reminded me of Skyrim, when people believed all that PR they were talking about and thought it might be the next Ultima...

AR doesn't seem to be too beneficial. Would probably be better if it was a random background where you aim around with gyro

That looks atrocious. I had higher expectations because of the trailer they showed off.
They really need to make it look better aesthetically.

Doesn't really look like something that will interest me, unfortunately.

Yes. A lot of people were very hyped for this. If you went into any thread about this game you would always find people saying that this was the future of Pokemon and even that this was the biggest Pokemon project in a decade. I do hope these people will realize they were wrong now.
