Pokemon Go is a no for Nintendo’s pockets
Ninento saw £5bn wiped from its value as shares sunk 18pc following its admission that the Pokemon Go game would have a limited impact on its profits. But trading is something that is confirmed to come soon as Hanke said that “Niantic needs for the Pokemon Go servers to stabilise before they can introduce the ability to swap monsters with other players”. Team Mystic and Valor are led by woman characters named Blanche and Candela, and Instinct has a male lead named Spark. Here’s everything we learned about the future of “Pokemon Go”. The original set of 151 Pokemon will expand to almost 700 species over the next several years-and that will include rare Pokemon, Hanke said. Electronic parts maker Hosiden Corp., which Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group said may produce Pokemon Go Plus, sank 16 percent.
Hanke went on: ‘That’s a pretty cool idea that you can acquire an object that changes the function of a pokestop and gives it a new ability’. These customizable PokeStop, as Hanke explained it, could be turned into a temporary Pokemon Center by using a specific item.
Similarly, in an event in which the costumes of the participants are a good barometer for measuring current trends, Pokemon-related costumes and objects were common during these days in San Diego. However, he did not reveal which Pokemon will be introduced specifically, and also vaguely gave a time-frame of them launching in the “coming months or years” (via Nerdist). The augmented reality mobile game has become such a hit that an entrepreneur is planning to put up a real-world restaurant inspired by PokeStops.
It took everyone long enough! Pokemon Go was developed by Niantic, and any revenue generated through the iOS or Android app stores sees 30 percent go to Apple or Google, respectively.
However, the Guardian noted that investors still have reason to be hopeful, as the game’s success could make it allocate more resources to its own smartphone development.
