Why Pokemon Go Players Should Go To GameStop This Weekend

And Nintendo has seen a massive bump in their stock price because of it. But even Nintendo is saying that investors should take caution – because they do not own Pokemon and Pokemon GO entirely, they are not adjusting their revenue reports yet.

A Lure Module “attracts Pokemon to a Pokestop for 30 minutes”. “As long as it is an area where Pokemon Go is serviced, yes”.

In order to promote sales and traffic in GameStop stores, GameStop has said that they will be dropping Pokemon Go Lures every two hours this weekend in participating locations.

To put this into context for non-gamers, The Pantiles has nine Pokéstops in close proximity so the sight of a player holding their phone up at an odd angle is already quite normal.

The biggest thing I think is neat about the game however is that in addition to Pokemon being near places they’d be in the real world with the Pokemon map overlaid on the real world is that apparently you’ll have to travel the world to “catch ’em all” because certain rare Pokemon can only be found in certain areas around the world.

Global Positioning System spoofing isn’t limited to just the East. A quick glance at the Pokemon GO channel on Twitch shows a number of streamers walking around and catching Pokemon without ever getting up from their desks.

There is no doubt that Niantic is going to roll out all of these updates and changes (including trading, world events, and new Pokemon), but I’ll be shocked if it happens in any reasonable amount of time. Plus, there are four Pokemon which are thought to be region specific.

A developer under the Github username Mila432 has released videos showing his Pokemon Go Catcher and Pokemon Go Farming apps in action. There are many other projects that have been spawned from the original work and will likely pop up as new Pokemon Go mobile apps in the future.

Simply head over to ispokemongodownornot.com and in a few seconds you’ll be presented with the complete stats regarding Pokemon GO’s server status. There’s actually no record of them occurring anywhere in the markets where Pokemon Go is available yet. The game now has more daily users than Twitter, more installs than (previously) uber-popular games, CandyCrush and Clash of Clans. High-level players who have dedicated the last two weeks to playing on the app have started to sell their accounts on eBay – for a very high price. It seems even players are realising the potential for money to be made because of the trendy app.
