Quote from: DerNebel on Jul 13, 2016, 03:05 AMThe normal Pokemon games are pretty great imo, super behind the times techwise and pretty much all the same but still pretty fun. But Pokemon Go? I just don't see how this can keep anyones interest for more than a couple days.

I'm out with Neverdies on a walk. We've seen 7 people walking around playing. They don't care about depth, they are hooked.

There's all types of depth.

Walking around and seeing pokemon in real life... if that ain't deep nothing is.

My roommate started playing sunday and is already getting bored because there's nothing to do with the Pokemon. But then again he grew up playing actual Pokemon games so maybe that's why this doesn't satisfy him.

Pokemon was a fad for me. Only had blue. No urge to get any others.

it will die off soon enough. the hype is will last for a while, but not long. specially if you cant battle with the pokemon, which is the main reason to have pokemon.

You battle pokemon, it's just tap based.

Got it. Squirtle appeared in my living room. Then I went for a walk with my dog and saw about 5 kids and maybe a grown man looking for pokemans.

Wasn't able to get more Pokémon

Over 50 people at this intersection. This feels like halloween, bigger even.

Pokemon Go is going to be remembered as the biggest game of 2016. This is huge and still only getting bigger.

It has created a new genre and ushered in a new era of video games. Walking around in the real world and catching pokemon is pretty cool, but doing it with other people is a killer app. "Social AR" I'd call it, and it's so much more valuable than I ever imagined.
