Peter Moore: Games Will Be Delayed Because Of Pokemon GO [Pun Intended]
Representatives from Niantic, the developers of Pokemon Go responded to IGN Southeast Asia’s (sea.ign.com) e-mail inquiry about the game’s release in new territories and guess what, it’s bad news.
Pokemon Go uses real locations to encourage players to search far and wide in the real world to discover and catch more than a hundred different Pokémon as they explore their surroundings. You wander the streets of Warrington and, with a little bit of help from Global Positioning System, your in-game character walks the same roads and hunts out the 150 Pokemon.
They probably haven’t thought it through any more than we have, but if we’re going to have to join one of the families vying for the Iron Throne it’s not going to be Stark – we want to be Targaryens and we’re getting us a Drogon.
It would also be a shrewd business move to reward fans for their loyalty to the series by offering giveaways and Pokemon Go bonuses for buying other Pokemon products – such as the upcoming 3DS video games, for example. Just do not forget to search hard for the Pokemon and make sure that you throw well and throw smart to get all the little Pocket monsters. Hounding neighbors and restaurants and hospitals to get in to their backyards or Emergency rooms so that you can catch a Pikachu isn’t cool. Keep the tracker open as you walk around to see the Pokemon change order, with the closest creatures at the top of the list.
Eggs: These monster eggs can be found and hatched into Pokemon. Police said the man had died within the last 24 hours and no foul play was suspected. Furthermore, the United Kingdom is one of those few countries where players had early access to the game despite region-locks and restrictions.
On social media, people have been voicing their reactions to the app.
Well, for starters, Lynn’s Custom House is a Poke Gym on the Pokemon Go map, which is where “trainers” go to battle other trainers’ Pokemon.
As a word of caution, with the increase of such vulnerabilities and mobile phone users often using the same device for both business and personal purposes, companies need to take necessary precautions with mobile threat prevention software.
There have also been plenty of reports of people falling over and grazing or cutting themselves because they’re not paying attention to what’s in front of them while they play.
