Pokemon Go is already a worldwide phenomenon. My Twitter feed is full of screen caps and short stories about budding trainers’ romps through public squares and neighborhoods in the pursuit of critters, but that’s to be expected; I follow game journalists almost exclusively. My Facebook feed is also full of Pokemon Go stories, though. Several friends, many of whom don’t play video games, have even reported stopping in traffic to claim certain Pokemon. The app has taken off, and it has shot straight to the top of the iTunes app store and Google Play store.
Pokemon Go isn’t only the most popular download right now, it’s also the top grossing. We’re still waiting for the Google Play Store to update its stats, but on iOS it’s been made very plain: people can’t get enough of Pokemon Go . Even though it’s still practically brand new, people are already emptying their wallets on Poke Balls and extra inventory space, and the app is bringing in more money than more established earners like Clash of Clans and Game of War . Nintendo, which has a 30% stake in The Pokemon Company, saw its shares go up 10% in value overnight. This bodes well for the future of Pokemon Go , which will hopefully get some exciting updates in the near future. I don’t know about y’all, but I’m already pretty bored with it.
