Based on Pokemon GO current popularity, it's clearly that is will not be sustained but by the time the popularity is gone, Nintendo made tons of $$$ and will have a small army of loyal monthly consumers of Micro-transactions

Obviously the userbase will become smaller, a lot smaller. But I think you understimate when you think small army of loyal monthly consumers. The userbase will continue to be big and they will still spend cash. Once the userbase is shrinking too much, boom in comes a new generation and a lot of players will be back.

I doubt it. You gotta look at the reasons why people are not interesred in using the app anymore. Is it really that only 1st generation pokemon are available? I think it has more to do with the app being bad, the servers being terrible, and that a lot of people played it due to hype. I doubt most people who have stopped using it did so because they caught all the pokemon already and want some more.

But I guess we'll see. Can't wait to see how it does in Japan, whenever it's released there.
