I'm shocked. I can't wait to see what happens in 1 month once it becomes available in most of the world.

Haven't you heard? Everyone will spontaneously stop playing it in a month. It will just go away.

Welp...I guess the trailer did predict this type of behavior. But seriously, as happy as I am for Nintendo and Niantic for their success on this game, I wish people wouldn't behave like this.

Edit: It's just now sinking into my mind...how much of a phenomenon this game has become... were all those people really in one place just to catch one Pokemon!? God, I wonder what's gonna happen when Gen 2 comes out with Ho-Oh, and Lugia.

1- I guess people will be surprised seeing how long Pokémon Go will last.

2- *Headshot* (sorry, couldn't resist).

Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

First E3 on Jun 15ish and now central park on Jul 15ish. Nintendo turned on their Stanpede-enator.

I don't think it's just about it being a rare Pokemon, I think it's also about a herd mentality that makes people rush around like that.
