Too long already.

I swear people are going full retard over this game, everywhere. It's just crazy. It fills like 25% of my social media feed.

Really annoying when you have never, and will never care about Pokémons.

Someone must've had a horrible childhood.

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

Simple: As long as they keep adding 1 new gen every 6-12 months, they'll last a few years. Pokemon's strength is in the monsters, without them, the phones will stay in pockets.

Depends how long it's updated and supported. I can see it lasting anywhere from 4 months to 2 years depending on how well it's handled.

So...I have no idea.

I'll guess the hypness will last 4 months.

It all depends on how its handled. Personally I think the sky is the limit if they have the right team giving it regular updates & improvements. I love it. Only potential downside aside from bad management I can see is the inevitable thousands of lawsuits that'll arise from it..



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

I think the game's popularity will rise and fall as updates are applied. It's a pretty casual experience overall of course seeing how it's free to play.

3 months.

It will probably still be huge until mid next year then it will probably be popular but not be getting the attention it is now.



KLAMarine on 12 July 2016

I can certainly see people busting it out when they're out with friends or out and about in general so I think that will result in regular play for many people.

I'll say 2 months, then it'll go down in the charts. Will become irrevelant around holiday I guess.

I really can't see it being irrelevant during the holidays because of Sun and Moon.
