POkemon go was created for mapping out terrain rapidly, marketed as a fun and exciting game; it's already served its purpose mostly.

Now that all the terrains already mapped out, better thing to do would be something like this:

But I don't know it's up to you really, how you choose to spend your time.

 There were like 120 people at the small meetup I went to.

Well yeah the game's dead my dude. 

 Says here the game garners 34 million active users and generates 45-60 million in monthly revenue. 

When the game dies, they'll shut it down, but it's not going anywhere anytime soon from the looks of it. 

Damn that many? Genuinely shocked. 

Most people I knew who played it retired from it, unlike when I swear it felt like everyone played. Even when I was traveling to other countries and I played it there I saw locals fiddling with the game still, but I dunno maybe the people who play it still are quieter about it for some reason.

 Pokemon is the biggest franchise in the world and it seems Pokemon Go is one of the best things it has to offer, if not the best. 

Says it's owned by 3 companies. Game Freak, Creatures Inc, and Nintendo. I think PokemonGO is the only Pokemon video game not on a Nintendo console.

I don't understand how it's so big, but If a sealed box of G1 pokemon cards landed on my lap, I'll have a blast. I'd either open the box containing 36 packs on camera in a studio setting, or sell it off for $400,000.

I'm sorry but are you saying that Pokemon Go by Niantic is more successful than the Gamefreak Pokemon franchise? Financially, I'd agree with you if so over how it is built around a time wall to slow your progress, prompting the users to buy pokeballs using irl money.

For longevity's sake however for success I'd say it's actually kind of crazy how Gamefreak keeps basically reprinting the same game over and over with progressively lower quality storylines and a new coat of paint. They're even recycling those from the original 150 by giving them new skins, calling it regional ones.

Never heard of Creatures Inc before, had to look it up. 

In general though Pokemon has expanded their market towards cellphone games and even a few PC ones, but yeah nothing otherwise on console beyond Nintendo.

A lot of people don't want to let go of the Pokemania they grew up with, and the franchise was the first monster collector game to push itself to portable consoles. In that respect it made the game a lot easier to play with friends without having to invite them to your house. 

We had shit like Jade Cocoon, Digimon, and Monster Rancher at the same time, as well as a bunch of other games that played similarly, but portability lent to far stronger marketability and their roster of 151 pokemon blew the rest out of the water.

I’ve literally spent $1 on pokeballs in Pokémon go and it was only because there was a wild Chansey next to me like 9 and a half years ago and it was one of the last things I was missing from gen 1. I’m sure they make more on raid passes and boxes.

 It just says Pokemon is the biggest franchise in the world. Whoever publishes it or makes a game matters not. As long as it's official it's the next venture. Says it generated over 100 billion.

If I open Pokemon Go, it'll be something lame. Barely any playtime. I was out one night playing it in the park. It had me walking around the surrounding neighborhood to catch that little black creature with the sinister looking face.  

Other than that my most played Pokemon game is Pokemon Stadium on the N64. The game was kinda limited. There was some adaptor to attack the Gameboy cartridge of some Pokemon game in order to beef up the ones in Stadium, but we still played with whatever's there.

Was watching the Logan show last night and he revealed a crazy ass stunt he did with a very expensive Charizard. That's another flex in Pokeworld. This is the only thing about Pokemon that interests me. The value people put into it. 

 

This means Logan has the world's most expensive Charizard.

As entrepreneurs the Paul Brothers are both rass.

 Asked which one is richer...

Gemini said:
Logan Paul is currently the richer brother, with an estimated net worth between $150 million and $200 million. His younger brother, Jake Paul, has an estimated net worth between $100 million and $125 million.
How They Make Their Money: Logan Paul: His massive fortune comes from his highly successful energy drink company, PRIME Hydration (which he co-founded with KSI), lucrative WWE wrestling contracts, his Impaulsive podcast, and previous merchandise sales.
Jake Paul: Jake's wealth comes primarily from his professional boxing career, fight promotions, and endorsements. While Logan holds the edge in total net worth, Jake often brings in higher yearly earnings from his massive pay-per-view boxing events, such as his highly publicized matches against Mike Tyson and Anthony Joshua.

Checked out KSi since he does the Prime thing with Logan, both of them have a 20% equity stake in their Prime energy drink which generated 1.2 billion dollars. Says KSi mean 100M from that. That would mean roughly half of Logan's estimated net worth is from Prime alone. 

Jake will probably surpass Logan ( again ) within 2 years, unless of course that Ripit brand blows up.

Ripit might succeed since Logan himself is a collector. It looks good in that world. He probably had that video on the backburner to promote this business venture. Brilliant scheme.

What did that though? 

Portability + Variety, none of the others who tried the same shit tried the same combination. One of them won, because it was the right choice.

Pokemon Go objectively sucks beyond user interaction. The only people who stick around are autistic. 

That being said they are the cash whales they hoped for that would spend IRL money to buy Pokeballs. 

Other than that my most played Pokemon game is Pokemon Stadium on the N64. The game was kinda limited. There was some adaptor to attack the Gameboy cartridge of some Pokemon game in order to beef up the ones in Stadium, but we still played with whatever's there. 

Dude okay, no, like... 

The N64 titles were meant to add drama to gameboy fights, not meant to be their own independent platform. It's why the prizes they promised were towards the cartridges connected to your controller. 

It was a graphics expansion for what they already had. 

Was watching the Logan show last night and he revealed a crazy ass stunt he did with a very expensive Charizard. That's another flex in Pokeworld. This is the only thing about Pokemon that interests me. The value people put into it. 

...Pokemon Cards is the weirdest racket ever. 

At least Magic The Gathering makes sense there, Pokemon's card game is... weird. 

This means Logan has the world's most expensive Charizard.

He made it an NFT, that's the value not the card value. 

People want HIS Charizard.
