Within days of availability in the United States, Pokemon Go has already won over 10 million players and is already installed on 5% of Android smartphones. Is already more than the application of Tinder assemblies and almost as much as Twitter, based on figures from SimilarWeb. On average, a Pokemon GB player spends 43 minutes a day hunting to capture Pokemon, more time than that spent on WhatsApp or Instagram.
Speaking of iOS, Pokemon Go is not optimized for the platform. It's to function the same on both Android and iOS, and its programmers aren't targeting iOS characteristics that could considerably improve the game yet. The future could hold *big changes*, but Pokemon Go as it stands now is only difficult.
If Pokemon Go's first public reception is anything to go by, its ability to bring players from multiple creations and varied gaming backgrounds together is a game worthy of focus. When it works, Pokemon Go feels like a very natural development for the series, very much a product of the times without making the mainline string dated. It is bugged, and high battery consumption does not outweigh the old-but-new thrill of catching Pikachu at a local park or vanquishing a Snorlax while beating a gym.
First the stock market: since the release (free) Pokemon Go, the share price Nintendo has burst. More than two billion per day that's certainly the most profitable game in the history of video games, by far ...
I purchased a Nintendo DS when Pokemon Black and White were released in 2010, and the game was just what you'd expect if you played Pokemon Red and Blue in the 90s. Clearly, that's not a bad thing judging by the response up to now, but I'd still love a real Pokemon encounter on iOS.
This is madness, pure insanity. Twenty years after the look of the charming creatures of Nintendo, Pokemon We All these grabs, train, and battle, the landing on smartphones. Not in France, but soon.
Beginning with the login screen, the Pokemon Go app on iOS is pretty clunky. The birthday picker isn't very polished and creating an account through Nintendo is hit-or-miss but largely overlook. That will change when servers can keep up with the rise in traffic levels, but other parts of the login experience are rocky also.
Choose to log in with Google and there is no back button. Force stop the app to return and log in with Nintendo. And if you use a password manager like 1Password, you can not copy and paste your safe password into the Nintendo login screen. Not to mention the whole Niantic needing full access to your Google account (something used by Chrome as well but not most apps including Ingress which Pokemon Go relies on).
I'd also expect some notification system to encourage gameplay when the app is closed. Hatch is a Tamagotchi-style app for iOS that uses this model (although the app has not changed in a while). Pokemon Go could use place services in the background, then alert you when you're near a Pokestop or gym or rare Pokemon.
The app is a tremendous hit on battery life as gameplay requires the app to be opened with your screen on (Low Power Mode may be more useful than the app's battery saver mode). Ideally, Pokemon Go would access the iPhone M8 or M9 motion co-processor and find your steps and action when the app is not active, but for now, it doesn't request access to fitness activity.
Talking of spending money, the in-game store offers a group of optional items, though they may just be valuable to really ambitious players. Much of the gear can be obtained through general play, by leveling up, and checking in at landmarks. In classic free-to-play manner, nearly all the store items only accelerate the monster collection process, whether you are using lures and incense to attract Pokemon or breaking fortunate eggs for a temporary experience bonus.
Compounding these issues is Go's high battery consumption. In spite of the AR camera turned off and power saving option turned on, it's still possible to fully empty a year old Samsung Galaxy S6 in less than two hours. Expect to put money into an external battery should youn't own one already.
The actual gameplay is very different also. The AR-encounter is awesome and oddly addictive. You've got to get out and move to find Pokemon, get things, hatch eggs, and the battle at gyms. Pokemon Go is enjoyable in that way, but it is not Pokemon as you'd expect to come from a handheld Nintendo games console.
The combination of geolocation and a photo detector for smartphones reveal the virtual creatures in the real world is particularly successful. The principle, everyone knows the last two decades more you capture Pokemon, the best trainer there is, notably by partnering with other place-based players around. Nintendo was presumed moribund, distanced by the High Definition games consoles from Sony and Microsoft, the online play on Xbox and PS4? Amateur Japanese Pikachu demonstrates that we can play without a console, right on their smartphone and in the road simply by reinventing the treasure hunt, so Pokemon.
Unlike other Pokémon games, capturing doesn't come down to tactically squaring off one Pokémon against another. That's because Pokémon battles are finger swipe-versus-monster as you swipe a Poké Ball towards a Pokémon. We're delighted to share our ideas with you on how to discover and catch Pokémon for your growing Pokémon Go collection.
