Fun over, random mobile game studio #284786, Nintendo arrived.
"But pokemon on phones can't work"
Bow to the king.
It's insane to think for years both Nintendo and their fans were staunchly against putting Nintendo IPs on mobile. The success of this game no doubt is gonna shake Nintendo to its core.
What fools we were. Now time for them to put more ip on mobile and shake things up while still putting in work on consoles and handhelds! It was a good idea we just didnt understand at the time being blind.It's insane to think for years both Nintendo and their fans were staunchly against putting Nintendo IPs on mobile.

Lol UPN, that was my jam during the 90s. We must really live in a jaded society when there's already a bwcklash. Go, go internet.It hasn't even been 1 week yet and it's huge my lord I knew it was crazy when I saw everybody talking about it on social media, I knew it was huger when I saw WWE mention it multiple times and I knew it was even bigger when people were playing it in work. Now it's the biggest in US history?

This is like back when we were kids and Pokemon took over. I'm having flashbacks of watching the first episode on UPN.
Hopefully it raises Nintendo's mindshare, especially positive mindshare. The idea that Nintendo is not cool, just for kids, and being associated with commercial failures did not do them good over the past few years.
Of course, there's much more than Nintendo behind Pokemon Go, but I think most non-Gaf people assume it's a Nintendo game.

Eh, most people will say it's a Pokemon game and that's basically it.

I don't think there's much linking this game to Nintendo at all besides the other Pokemon handheld games. And those games have nearly zero overlap with Pokemon Go.
Cancer and World Peace, you're next!Nintendo solving Americas health problems.
Arguably the best Nintendo affiliated game ever made

You don't think people associate Pokemon with Nintendo? Or Zelda or Donkey Kong? Smash Bros?I don't think it will raise much Nintendo mindshare as the brand will always be associated with the hardware or Mario.
Pokemon is Nintendo get real lol. You cant even watch a Pokemon movie without Nintendo logo in it.Eh, most people will say it's a Pokemon game and that's basically it.

Oh yeah I agree, I think people misunderstood this kind of approach to mobile development. Hence the confusion.Making Nintendo mobile games that were built with a handheld mindset is what we wanted to avoid.
This is actively avoiding it. So we're still good.
Every news website and tv segment always mention Nintendo in the same breath anyhow, so it'll spread.

One of my friends used to think Pokemon was originally just the TV show and that everything that came later were just licensed products.
I think enough people connect Pokemon with Nintendo as their stock is skyrocketing due to Pokemon Go's success.
By the way, if you're not playing this right now you're missing out on one of the biggest gaming hypes i've seen in my life.
This stuff is immense. Don't miss out.
